539H

Insulation Tape

Product Description

3Mä 33 Electrical Tape is a quality, general-purpose

vinyl insulating tape. It has excellent resistance to:

abrasion, moisture, alkalies, acid, copper corrosion

and varying weather conditions (including sunlight).

It is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tape that has a high

dielectric strength, is flame-retardant and

conformable, and provides excellent mechanical

protection with minimum bulk. It is a UL Listed

“Insulating Tape”.

· UL Listed; UL 510 Standard “Insulating Tape”

(product category OANZ), File E129200

· Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) backing

· Pressure-sensitive rubber based adhesive

· Inhibits corrosion of electrical conductor

· Compatible with solid dielectric cable insulation

Applications

· Primary electrical insulation for all wire and

cable splices rated up to 600 volts

Installation Techniques The tape shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering. In most applications, this tension will reduce the tape’s width to approximately 5/8 of its original width. On pigtail splices, the tape should be wrapped beyond the end of the wires and then folded back, leaving a protective cushion to resist cutthrough. Always wrap the tape “uphill”, taping from a smaller diameter surface to a larger diameter surface.
