3M™ Temflex™ Vinyl Electrical Tape 175 is a 7 mil (0.178 mm) thick vinyl insulating tape formulated to handle a variety of demanding general-use applications, including cable jacket repair, harnessing and bundling cables, and mechanical protection on splices rated up to 600V. It is ideal for indoor and outdoor weather-protected conditions, with a temperature range of 19 °F (-7 °C) to 194 °F (90 °C) per CSA-C22.2 No. 197 standards. Made from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this tape is both flame-retardant and cold-weather resistant, providing mechanical protection without adding unnecessary bulk. Thanks to its robust formulation, the tape can help reduce moisture ingress when used as an overwrap in combination with a rubber splicing or mastic tape product. Additionally, 3M Temflex 175 Tape is UL Listed and CSA Certified as an insulating tape, and it is manufactured without the use of solvents or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), underscoring its commitment to safety and environmental responsibility. Discover the insulating capabilities of 3M™ Temflex™ Vinyl Electrical Tape 175.
3M™ Temflex™ Vinyl Electrical Tape 175, and this product family exemplifies the commitment to developing high-performance electrical solutions that address the daily challenges faced by customers. At 3M, the focus is on innovation, enhancing application efficiency and effectiveness in a broad range of working conditions and temperature environments. For best application practices, apply in half-lapped layers with enough tension to create a uniform wrap. For most applications, this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 5/8 of its original size. When taping pigtail splices, wrap the tape beyond the ends of the wires and then fold it back to provide a protective cushion against cut-through. For the final wrap, apply the tape without tension to help prevent flagging. With a wide variety of products designed to maximize performance and meet specialized operational specifications, learn more about the versatility of 3M™ Temflex™ Vinyl Electrical Tape 175.
