Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape Super 88 is an 8.5 mil thick, premium grade, all-weather tape that is designed to provide a protective jacket and primary electrical insulation for splices up to 600V. The flame retardant tape withstands a temperature range of 0ºF to 221ºF (18ºC to 105ºC).

Super 88 provides electrical and mechanical protection with a combination of an aggressive rubber resin adhesive and an elastic PVC backing. This tape is highly resistant to UV rays and varying weather conditions.

The tape is compatible with solid dielectric cable insulations, as well as epoxy and polyurethane resins. UL Listed, CSA Certified, and RoHS compliant.

• Good formability
• Anti-UV
• Wearable
• Antiseptic
• Acid and alkali resistance

• Mainly used for all wire and cable joints with voltage levels below 600V and 105℃insulation.
• Used for electrical insulation of busbars below 600V, as well as high voltage and Sheath protection of low voltage cables.
• Used for joint protection and repair of the sheath of high-voltage cables.
• Used for binding wires and cables
• UL510: As primary insulation on applications up to 600V at a max temperature of 80°C (176°F) and min temperature of -10°C (14°F) on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code
• CSA C22.2 No.197: As primary insulation on applications up to 1000V at a max temperature of 105°C (221°F) and a min temperature of -18°C (0°F) on joints and splices in wires and cables in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1
• IEC 60454-3-1: Classification Type 7, Designation IEC 60454-3-1-7/F-PVCP/90 for thermal index of 90°C (194°F) and min temperature rating of -18°C (0°F)
• Industrial, commercial, and residential environments
• Where Flame Retardant and Sunlight, Cold Resistance rating is required – UL510
• Cable jacket repair (up to 600V (UL) / 1000V (CSA) as primary insulation) and as mechanical protection when overwrapping rubber splicing, and mastic tapes used on LV/MV/HV joints and splices
• Critical indoor and outdoor operations as determined by end-user where the use of a general use vinyl electrical tape is not recommended
• Where compatibility with solid dielectric cable insulations, rubber, and synthetic splicing compounds is required
• Where reducing moisture ingress is needed, the best results are achieved when used as an overwrap in combination with a rubber splicing or mastic tape product
• For harnessing and bundling of wires and cable where faster build-up is needed
