Vinyl Electrical Tape 35

Data Sheet July 2011

Description

Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape 35 is a 7 mil (0,178 mm) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) color-

coding tape. Outstanding electri cal a nd mechanical properties make this tape excellent

for use in phase identification, color coding of motor leads and piping systems, and for

marking safety areas. Scot ch® Tape 35 operates over a wide range of temperatures –

up to 221°F (105°C); applies smoothly and conforms well above 3 2°F (0 °C). This tape is

available in nine fade resistant colo rs.

Agency

Approvals & Self

Certifications

UL Listed - UL 510 Standard “Insulating Tape” (product category OANZ), File E129200;

meets UL 510 labeling for “flame-retardant” for vinyl electrical tape.

CSA Certification; Standard. C22.2 No. 197-M1983 “PVC Insulating Tape,” File LR

48769.

RoHS 2002/95/EC

RoHS Compliant 2002/95/EC” means that the product or part (“Product”) does not contain any of the

substances in excess of the maximum concentration values in EU Directive 2002/95/EC, as amended by

Commission Decision 2005/618/EC, unless the substance is in an application that is exempt under RoHS. This

information represents 3M’s knowledge and belief, which may be based in whole or in part on information

provided by third party suppliers to 3M.

Applications

 Color coding for phase ide ntification, job identification and safety

 Insulating electrical wiring

 Protecting electrical conductors, moto r leads and piping from moisture, alkalis, acids,

corrosion, abrasion and we ather

Installation

 Apply in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform

covering. In most applications, this tensi on will reduce the tape width to approximately

60% of its original wi dth.

 On a pigtail splice, wrap th e tape beyond the end of the wire and then fold back and

over-wrap, leaving a protective cushion to resist cut-through.

 Wrap uphill, taping from a smaller diameter to a larger diameter surface. Apply the

tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flaggi ng.
