3M 1188 Black PVC Vinyl Electrical Tape
The 3M 1188 is a premium PVC vinyl electrical tape designed for general-purpose insulation and mechanical protection.
Engineered to withstand a voltage rating of up to 600 V, it is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Offered in eight standard industry colours, including white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, brown, and grey, it is a versatile solution for identification, colour coding, bundling, and labeling in electrical wiring and maintenance applications .
Key Features & Benefits
-
-
- High Voltage Insulation: Rated for 600 V, meeting common standards for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical wiring. Ideal for insulating splices, harnesses, terminations, and color-coding circuits .
- Durable PVC Vinyl Backing: Resists abrasion, cuts, punctures, and weathering, providing robust mechanical protection in demanding environments; works well above and below ground.
- Reliable Adhesion & Clean Removal: Features a rubber-based adhesive that sticks instantly yet removes cleanly without residue, making it suited for temporary bundling and maintenance tasks .
- Color Coding & Identification: With eight colours available, 3M 1188 is perfect for marking phase conductors, identifying voltage levels, or visually organizing cables for improved safety and workflow.
-
