One of the standout features of the 3M™ Temflex™ 160 Where Flame Retardant and Cold Resistance rating is required – UL510. This Standard applies As primary insulation on applications up to 600V at a max temperature of 80°C and min temperature of 0°C on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code. Safeguarding against fire hazards is paramount in electrical work, and this certification underscores the tape's commitment to ensuring a secure and protected work environment. 3M™ Temflex™ 160 goes beyond expectations in terms of safety and adherence to industry regulations. Which 3M™ 1188 doesn't have UL510  certificates.

The Temflex™ 160 shines with an impressive elongation capacity of 220%, adapting seamlessly to the contours of your work. This flexibility ensures ease of application in various scenarios, providing a snug fit for better general-use bundling, insulating, and sealing. In comparison, the 3M™ 1188 falls short with an elongation capacity of only 170%. Moreover, the Temflex™ 160 goes beyond with a robust adhesion to backing at 22oz/in and a tensile strength of 30N/cm, guaranteeing a secure and lasting bond. 3M™ Temflex™ Vinyl Electrical Tape 160 shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to produce a uniform wind. On pigtail splices, the tape shall be wrapped beyond the end of the wires and then folded back, leaving a protective cushion to resist cut-through. Wrap tape up-hill, taping from a smaller diameter surface to a larger diameter surface. Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging.

The 3M™ Temflex™ 160 is your ideal choice for general-use insulation, color coding for phase identification, wire marking, and safety. Explore the extensive range of available colors to meet your specific needs and simplify wire identification tasks.
