3M 27
Scotch® Glass Cloth Electrical Tape

General Information
3M 27 is a 7.0 mil tape consisting of thermosetting rubber adhesive with a woven glass cloth backing primarily used for insulating, securing, splicing and reinforcing applications. 27 tape is designed to operate in 600volt dry applications requiring high mechanical strength and resistance to high temperatures. The glass cloth backing is specially treated and prepared to provide corrosion-free protection and will not shrink, rot or burn. This tape contains a pressure-sensitive thermosetting adhesive which performs at a Class B temperature of 266°F. All splices for 600volt wire rated at 266°F should be insulated with a minimum of two half-lapped layers of Scotch 27 Glass Cloth Electrical Tape.
