Vinyl is the right choice for abrasion protection but not as good as mastic in keeping your connections dry. Use the right tape for the right job. In harsh environments, select Scotch® Premium Electrical Premium Electrical Tapes from 3M.
If you have a critical job or work in an extreme environment where dust, heat or contaminants are a concern; visit our Solutions page for more information on electrical installations in harsh conditions.
Industrial and commercial electrical applications require good technique. Anybody can tape, but to tape like a pro you need to know what your tape is capable of; whether it’s stretching rubber or molding mastic. At 3M, we use proprietary technology to manufacture tapes for excellent performance. We’re committed to sharing what we’ve learned in 70 years of innovation.
From tar covered cloth to the elastic Scotch® Super 33+™ Vinyl Electrical Tape—and all the innovations between.
