The 3M Temflex Vinyl Electrical Tape 165 is a 6-mil thick, multi-purpose flame-retardant vinyl insulating tape available in red colour. It is designed to perform in ambient temperatures up to 194°F (90°C). The tape is conformable for cold weather application down to 32°F (0°C). It has excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, alkalies, acid, copper corrosion and varying weather conditions. The combination of an elastic PVC backing and pressure-sensitive rubber-based adhesive provides electrical and mechanical protection with minimum bulk.

How should this tape be applied?

Suitable for moderate indoor & weather protected outdoor uses
For residential, commercial and manufacturing (OEM) environments
