3M 5 Tape Polyester Film Electrical Tape

5 TAPE

3M™ Clear Polyester Electrical Tape 5 is an industrial grade 2.5 mil polyester film electrical tape with a thermosetting rubber adhesive. This is a general purpose polyester film tape capable of insulation applications at temperatures up to 266 degrees Fahrenheit. This product resists oil and cleaning solvents and is conformable for use with uneven or mismatched surfaces.

Designed for insulating applications that require high dielectric strength
Withstands higher-temperature conditions than tapes with acetate cloth backings
Conformable, exhibits excellent chemical, solvent and moisture resistance and resists cut-through and abrasion

Color: Clear

Backing/Carrier Material: Polyester Film

Adhesive Type: Acrylic

TotalThickness: 2.5 mil
