Scotch® Super 33+™ Vinyl Electrical Tape is a 7-mil thick, premium grade all-weather vinyl insulating tape. It is designed to perform continuously in ambient temperatures up to 221 °F (105 °C). The tape is conformable for cold weather application down to 0 °F (-18 °C). It has excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, alkalies, acids, corrosion and varying weather conditions (including UV exposure). The combination of an elastic PVC backing and aggressive pressure sensitive rubber-based adhesive provides moisture-tight electrical and mechanical protection with minimum bulk. Scotch® Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to produce a uniform wind (for most applications this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 5/8 of original width). 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.
