3M Temflex Vinyl Electrical Tape 165 Red Polyvinyl Chloride Electrical Tape, 15mm x 10 m

This electrical tape is a red polyvinyl chloride insulating tape designed for protecting and identifying wiring in industrial settings. It provides a flexible, protective layer for cable joints and terminations used across automation, electronics and electrical maintenance contexts, and performs within a defined temperature range for routine installation and repair tasks.

• Rubber-based adhesive delivers 2 N/cm adhesion strength for secure bonds
• Backing film resists abrasion with 0.15 mm thickness for durability
• Withstands up to 90°C enabling use near warm components
• Maintains integrity down to 0°C for low-temperature applications
• Tensile strength of 20 N offers mechanical resistance during installation

• Suitable for insulating splices on control-panel wiring
• Ideal for colour-coding power and signal cables in assemblies
• Used for temporary repairs during on-site equipment servicing
• Can be used for bundling and securing loom runs in machinery

Its flexible PVC backing conforms to bends and contours while the rubber adhesive maintains contact to prevent lifting under normal handling.

The tape retains its functional properties up to 90°C but should not be applied where temperatures exceed this limit to avoid softening of the vinyl backing.

The material exhibits a tensile capacity of 20 N, providing resistance to tearing or elongation during routine movement and cable routing.

Performance is rated to 0°C
