Frequently Asked Questions
What makes polyester film backing better than acetate cloth for electrical tape?
3M Polyester Film Electrical Tape 5 withstands higher temperatures than acetate cloth-backed tapes, making it suitable for applications where heat resistance is critical. The polyester film also provides superior chemical, solvent, and moisture resistance, and resists cut-through and abrasion better than cloth alternatives — important in wire bundling and insulation applications where mechanical stress is a factor.
What applications is the 3M 7000132944 designed for?
This tape is designed for general-purpose electrical insulation applications requiring high dielectric strength — including wire and cable insulation, coil wrapping, transformer insulation, and other applications where 600V rating and temperature stability up to 130°C are required. Its conformability also makes it suitable for irregular surfaces and tight wrapping applications.
Is this tape RoHS compliant?
Yes. The 3M 7000132944 is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant, UL Listed, and CSA Certified, making it suitable for use in electronics manufacturing environments with environmental compliance requirements.
How many rolls are in a case and what is the roll size?
Each case contains 72 rolls. Each roll is 1/2 inch (12.7mm) wide by 72 yards (65.8m) long. This case quantity is suited for production environments with high tape consumption or facilities looking to reduce per-roll cost through volume purchasing.
