3M™ Polyester Film Electrical Tape #56
3M™ Polyester Film Electrical Tape #56 is a yellow, 2.5-mil thick electrical tape designed for insulating applications requiring high dielectric strength in thin, space-restricted configurations. Combining a 1-mil yellow polyester film backing with a pressure-sensitive thermosetting rubber adhesive, Tape #56 offers exceptional physical and electrical performance without requiring heat or moisture during application.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Dielectric Strength: Delivers 4,500V dielectric breakdown protection for dependable electrical insulation.
- Thermosetting Rubber Adhesive: Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds aggressively and resists flagging, solvents, and chemical degradation.
- Thin & Conformable: 1-mil polyester backing provides high flexibility and conformability while retaining excellent resistance to punctures, abrasion, and cut-through.
- Thermal Performance: Rated for continuous operation up to 130°C (266°F) per UL and CSA standards.
- Regulatory Compliant: UL Component Recognized (UL510A, File E17385), CSA Certified, and RoHS compliant.
