Description

Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape 35 is a 7 mil (0,178 mm) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) color-coding tape. Outstanding electrical and mechanical properties make this tape excellent for use in phase identification, color coding of motor leads and piping systems, and for marking safety areas. Scotch® Tape 35 operates over a wide range of temperatures – up to 221°F (105°C); applies smoothly and conforms well above 32°F (0°C). This tape is available in nine fade resistant colors.

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 identification, job identification and safety

?Insulating electrical wiring

?Protecting electrical conductors, motor leads and piping from moisture, alkalis, acids, corrosion, abrasion and weather

Installation

?Apply in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering. In most applications, this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 60% of its original width.

?On a pigtail splice, wrap the 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 flagging.
