Description
Suitable as a phasing tape for electrical conduit, circuit wires, motor leads, splices and terminations. Very conformable – provides moisture-tight electrical and mechanical protection. Resists UV rays, acids, alkalis, abrasion, moisture, and corrosion.
Electro Tape’s 60 Series is a conformable 7 mil thick vinyl plastic tape designed to perform in temperature environments up to 80°C (176°F). 60 Series has excellent resistance to: acids, alkalies, abrasion, moisture, corrosion and varying weather conditions (i.e. sunlight). 60 Series, with its memory (elasticity) 7 mil thickness and adhesion characteristics, provides moisture-tight electrical and mechanical protection. Suitable as a phasing tape for electrical conduit, circuit wires, motor leads, splices and terminations.
Features
- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC backing) and Pressure sensitive (rubber based adhesive)
- Memory (elasticity) of the tape allows it to hold tightly and provide pressure without slipping or flagging
- Compatible with all solid dielectric cable insulations
- Highly resistant to chemical attack, ultra violet light and physical abuse
- Will not crack, split, slip or flag when exposed to various environments
- Low lead
- Meets UL requirements for 80°C
- UL 510 listed and CSA approved
Applications
- Primary electrical insulation for all wire and cable splices up to 600 volts and 80°C (176° F).
- For wire and cable harnessing
- Excellent abrasion resistance for high voltage cable splices and termination (forms a protective jacket)
