Description

Scotch

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

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.

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

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.

Specifications

Scotch

rubber-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive. The tape shall be 7 mils thick, and be UL

Listed and marked per UL Standard 510 as “Flame-Retardant.” The tape shall be

compatible with synthetic cable insulations, jackets and splicing compounds. The tape

will remain stable and will not telescope more than 0.1 inches when maintained at

temperatures below 122°F (50°C).
