Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape Super 88 Data Sheet Product Description June 2022 Scotch® Vinyl Electrical Tape Super 88 is a black, professional grade, nominal 8.5-mil (0.216 mm) thick electrical insulating tape composed of an elastic vinyl (PVC) film backing coated on one side with a non-corrosive, rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive.  Commonly used in these types of applications:  UL510: As primary insulation on applications up to 600V at 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 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 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, best results 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  Country of Origin: USA Properties Physical Properties Color – Visual Value Imperial (Metric) Rubber-based Backing Vinyl (PVC) Electrical Properties Voltage Rating - Maximum UL5101 / CSA C22.2 No. 1972 Dielectric Strength3 - Minimum Standard Condition V/mil High Humidity Insulation Resistance3 - Minimum (High Humidity) Notes: 1. 2. 3. 4.

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 help prevent flagging. Shelf Life & Storage This product has a 5-year shelf life (from date of manufacture) when stored in humiditycontrolled storage (50°F/10°C to 80°F/27°C and
