Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape

Data Sheet

Product Description:

Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical
Tape is a premium grade, 7 mil
thick, all–weather vinyl-insulating

tape. It is designed to perform
continuously in ambient
temperatures up to 105°C (220°F).
The tape is conformable for cold
weather application down to –18°C
(0°F). It has excellent resistance to
abrasion, moisture, alkalies, acids,
corrosion and varying weather
conditions (including ultraviolet
exposure). The combination of
elastic backing and aggressive
adhesive provides moisture–tight
electrical and mechanical
protection with minimum bulk.
Super 33+ is an Underwriters’
Laboratories Listed and Canadian
Standards Association Certified
“Insulating Tape”.

Specification:

Product:

The tape is based on polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) and/or its
copolymers and has a rubber–

based, pressure–sensitive adhesive.
The tape shall be 7 mils thick, and
be UL Listed and marked per UL
Standard 510 as “Flame Retardant,
Cold and Weather Resistant.” The
tape must be applicable at
temperatures ranging from 0°F
through 100°F (–18°C through
38°C) without loss of physical
properties. The tape shall be
classified for use in both indoor and
outdoor environments. The tape
shall be compatible with syn thetic
cable insulations, jackets and
splicing compounds. The tape will
remain stable and will not telescope
more than 0.1 inches when
maintained at temperatures below
120°F (50°C).

Engineering/Architec
tural Specification:

Primary electrical insulation
(branch wiring in wet or dry
locations): All splices for 600 volt
wire rated 105°C (220°F) and
below shall be insulated with a
minimum of two half–lapped
layers of Scotch Super 33+ Vi ny l
Electrical Tape. All connectors
having irregular surfaces shall be
padded with Scotchfil Electrical
Insulation Putty or Scotch 130C
Rubber Splicing Tape prior to
insulating with Scotch Super 33+
Vinyl Electrical Tape.

Mechanical protection (outer
jacketing): All rubber and
thermoplastic insulating high
voltage power cable tape splices
and repairs shall be overwrapped
with at least two half–lapped
layers of Scotch Super 33+ Vi ny l
Electrical Tape

Installation
Techniques:

The tape shall be applied in half–
lapped layers with sufficient
tension to produce a uniform
wind (for most applications this
tension will reduce the tape’s
width to approximately 5/8 of its
original width). On pigtail
splices, the tape shall be wrapped
beyond the end of the wires and
then folded back, leaving a
protective cushion to resist cut–
through. Wrap tape up–hill,
taping from a smaller diameter
surface to a larger diameter
surface. Apply the tape with no
tension on the last wrap to
prevent flagging.

Shelf Life:

Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical
Tape complies with the requirements
of UL 510 for storage. When
maintained under normal storage
conditions the tape will remain stable
and has a five year shelf–life.

Availability:

Scotch Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical
Tape is available from your local
3M authorized distributor in the
following standard roll sizes:

3/4 in. x 66 ft.
3/4 in. x 44 ft.
