3M Temflex 165 PVC Electrical Tape, 19 mm x 20.12 m, Green/Yellow

The 3M Temflex 165 PVC Electrical Tape is a professional-grade solution designed for reliable electrical insulation, wire bundling, and color-coding applications. Measuring 19 mm in width and 20.12 m in length, this tape provides a consistent 0.15 mm thickness, ensuring durability and ease of application in various environments. Its distinctive green/yellow color makes it particularly suitable for identifying protective earth conductors in electrical installations.

Advantages

This electrical tape offers excellent adhesion properties, allowing it to conform well to irregular surfaces while maintaining a secure hold. The high-quality PVC material provides robust resistance to moisture, abrasion, and common environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance in both indoor and outdoor settings. Its flexibility allows for smooth wrapping, reducing the risk of wrinkles or gaps that could compromise insulation integrity.

Suitable for

• Color-coding of electrical wires and cables
• Insulation of low-voltage electrical connections
• Bundling of wire harnesses
• Marking of protective earth conductors
• General maintenance and repair tasks

When it may not be suitable

This tape is not intended for high-voltage applications or environments involving extreme heat exposure beyond the rated temperature limits of standard PVC tapes. It should not be used as a primary structural support for heavy cables or in areas where it will be subjected to continuous chemical immersion.

Key specifications

• Material: PVC
• Color: Green/Yellow
• Width: 19 mm
• Length: 20.12 m
• Thickness: 0.15 mm

How to use

To achieve the best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from oil or dust before application. Apply the tape with a half-lap technique, overlapping each layer by 50% to ensure a uniform and secure seal. Maintain consistent tension during wrapping to prevent air pockets, and finish by pressing the end firmly against the surface to ensure proper adhesion.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the color requirements for your specific electrical standards
• Check the required temperature range for your application environment
• Ensure the width is appropriate for the diameter of the wires being bundled

Usage recommendations

For optimal insulation performance, always apply the final layer of tape without tension to prevent the end from peeling back over time.
