Professional-Grade Electrical Tape
Scotch Super 88 is a premium vinyl electrical tape designed for electricians and technicians who require reliable insulation for wire splices and cable repairs up to 600 volts. Its rubber-based adhesive provides strong bonding to irregular surfaces in demanding environments.
8.5 mil Thickness for Heavy-Duty Insulation
The 8.5 mil vinyl backing delivers the tensile strength of 20 lb-in and adhesive strength of 60 oz/in needed for primary insulation on connections up to 600 volts. Thinner general-purpose tapes lack the dielectric withstand and mechanical protection this specification provides.
CSA and UL 510 Certified for Code Compliance
The tape meets ASTM D1000, CSA, UL 510 and RoHS 2002/95/EC standards, ensuring acceptance by electrical inspectors for permanent installations. UV resistance allows exposure to sunlight without the degradation that disqualifies unlisted tapes from outdoor or industrial use.
