Recommended uses: For general splicing. Provides primary insulation for splices at not more than 600 volts. Use as a protective outer jacket. 8.5 mil cold weather tape is excellent for low temperature applications.

Standard sizes:

3/4 in. X 66 ft., 19mm x 20m

1/2 in. X 66 ft., 38mm x 20m

1/2 in. X 108 ft., 38mm x 33m

Description:
No. 785 cw vinyl plastic electrical tape is an all-weather, pressure sensitive, vinyl tape that gives complete electrical and mechanical protection for most general taping jobs with more dielectric protection than similar tapes. The method of bonding the adhesive to the vinyl prevents transfer and gives greater adhesive strength. Thin, tough and resilient, it can be stretched to conform easily without breaking. It is easily applied at low temperatures.
