From 3M™ the Polyester Film Electrical Tape 56 is a 1 mm conformable polyester film tape with rubber thermosetting adhesive. The tape has pressure-sensitive adhesive coated on one side and doesn’t require heat or moisture to apply. This allows for quick and accurate application in most settings.

The yellow PET tape is thin yet durable, with excellent resistance to weathering and scratching, meaning it is ideal for more challenging electrical applications. The insulation tape can also perform at temperatures of -40°C to 130°C without any loss of electrical properties.

• General-purpose polyester insulation tape with thermosetting rubber adhesive
• Designed for insulating applications requiring a thin, durable tape with high dielectric strength
• Withstands higher-temperature conditions than tapes with acetate cloth backings
• Conformable, exhibits excellent chemical, solvent and moisture resistance and resists cut-through and abrasion
• 1 mm film thickness
