3M Temflex 170 Electrical Tape - Black, 19 mm x 10 m x 0.18 mm

Electrical tape 3M Temflex 170 Black, Size 19 mm x 10 m x 0.18 mm
This is a vinyl (PVC) electrical tape designed for general-purpose to medium-duty industrial applications. With a thickness of 0.18 mm—thicker than the Temflex 160 model—it can withstand greater mechanical stress and strain. The tape consists of a highly flexible vinyl backing coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is non-corrosive to electrical conductors. Its primary feature is primary electrical insulation for applications up to 600 volts (per UL510 standard) and tolerance to a wide temperature range; in particular, it is cold-resistant and flame-retardant, making it a reliable choice for indoor and weather-protected outdoor installations. In addition, Temflex 170 resists abrasion, moisture, chemicals (such as acids and alkalis), and prevents copper corrosion, providing a cost-effective solution with dependable performance for a variety of applications.
