3M ELECTRICAL

TAPES

3M combines innovative technologies with customer collaboration to provide solutions that are performance engineered to insulate, protect and secure electrical equipment. These solutions help enable cost-effective manufacturing of motors and generators, transformers, electric vehicle components and wire harnesses that can be counted on for long-term reliability.

3M’s Insulating and Conductive tapes, Flexible Insulation, Heat Shrink and Cold Shrink Tubing, and Epoxy Resins, are designed and manufactured for the electrical equipment manufacturing industry to enable long-lasting performance through an efficient, safe manufacturing environment.

3M Electrical Tapes

3M Composite Film Tapes are excellent for general purpose insulation, anchoring, and banding in motors and transformers. They combine the high dielectric strength and edge-tear resistance of polyester film and nonwoven polyester mat for a conformable product with great puncture resistant and electrical properties.

Available in a variety of thicknesses and with two (2) adhesive systems: aggressive rubber resin and solvent-resistant acrylic.

Filament tapes are designed for applications needing both the dielectric strength of polyester film and the high mechanical strength of glass fibers. They offer the ultimate in low stretch, high tensile and edge-tear resistance for a more cost-effective solution to glass cloth tapes. Excellent for anchoring lead wires to banding coils and end-turn taping. A special paper-backed filament tape is available for high-voltage oil-filled distribution transformer use.

These tape solutions are available with two (2) aggressive thermosetting rubber resin and solvent-resistant acrylic.
