TAPES Tapes Glossary of Taping Terms 3 Vinyl Electrical Tapes 4 Insulating and Splicing Tapes 9 Sealing and Insulating Mastic Tapes 14 Corrosion Protection Tapes 17 Mining Tapes and Kits 19 Special Use Tapes 21 Packaging and Palletizing Tapes 27 In the early 1940s, vinyl plastic emerged as a highly versatile material for a wide range of applications, from shower curtains to cable insulation.
Taping Tips Although challenging in its makeup and manufacture, vinyl electrical tape is relatively straightforward in its use. Nevertheless, to ensure the safest, most reliable use, always: • Wrap cone-shaped (high voltage splices) “uphill” — that is, from the smallest to the largest point. This way you always secure the previous layer. • Apply tape with enough stretch to conform to the objects you’re wrapping.
Adhesive The medium that allows the backing to be quickly, positively and efficiently positioned to do its job. Adhesion to backing The bond produced by contact between a pressure-sensitive adhesive and the tape backing when one piece of tape is applied to the back of another piece of the same tape. Backing The material that performs the tape’s desired functions (insulation, protection, identification, holding).
Vinyl Electrical Tapes Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape ® ™ Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape is a professional grade, all-weather vinyl electrical insulating tape. Super 33+ is conformable for cold weather application to 0°F (-18°C) and is designed to perform in a continuous temperature environment up to 220°F (105°C). An aggressive adhesive and elastic backing enables Super 33+ to easily conform to irregular surfaces for moisture-tight electrical and mechanical protection.
3M Electrical Tapes Training Kit Scotch Vinyl Insulation Tape 22 is one of 3M’s thickest (10-mil) vinyl electrical tapes. It is designed for insulation applications that require greater mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Scotch 22 seals in all kinds of weather and provides moisture-tight electrical and mechanical protection with fewer wraps than thinner tapes.
