3M Scotch Super 88 Vinyl Electrical Tape, 1 in x 36 yd Long Roll — 600V Insulating, UV & Flame‑Resistant

3M Scotch Super 88 Vinyl Electrical Tape is a heavy-duty, all-weather PVC insulating tape designed to provide primary electrical insulation and protective jacketing for splices up to 600 volts.

Built for electricians, maintenance teams, and industrial technicians, this premium vinyl tape combines a robust PVC backing with a pressure-sensitive rubber-resin adhesive to resist UV, moisture and temperature extremes. With a total applied thickness of approximately 8.5 mil (0.216 mm), Super 88 offers fast build-up and mechanical protection for low-voltage through medium-voltage applications, cable jacketing and general equipment protection.

How does this tape perform in outdoor and extreme conditions?

Super 88 was formulated to withstand sunlight, cold, and heat while retaining adhesion and dielectric properties. It’s flame-retardant and rated for a broad operating range, so it keeps insulation secure in exposed installations.

• Temperature range: 0 °F to 221 °F (-18 °C to 105 °C)
• UV and weather-resistant PVC backing for prolonged outdoor use
• Flame-retardant formulation meeting UL and IEC criteria

What electrical and mechanical jobs is this tape suitable for?

Use Super 88 for primary insulation on low-voltage splices, secondary insulation, cable jacketing, and mechanical protection or padding. Its thicker construction speeds up buildup and reduces the number of wraps required to achieve a solid jacket.

• Primary electrical insulation up to 600 V for splices and terminations
• Cable jacketing and overwrap for LV, MV, and HV joint protection
• Mechanical protection, padding and bundling in harsh environments

How compatible is this tape with other splicing materials and resins?

Super 88 is designed to work alongside common splicing compounds, epoxies and polyurethanes without degrading performance. It adheres well to dielectric cable insulations and integrates as an overwrap with rubber and synthetic mastic systems for enhanced joint protection.

• Compatible with solid dielectric cable insulations and rubber splicing compounds
• Can be used as an overwrap with mastic and rubber splicing tapes
• Suitable for use where epoxy or polyurethane resins are applied

What certifications and safety standards does this tape meet?

3M Scotch Super 88 holds recognized international approvals that verify its performance for occupational and industrial electrical work. These certifications support use in regulated applications where tested insulation and flame-retardant properties are required.

• UL 510 Listed and CSA C22.2 No.197 certified
• VDE Mark Certificate no. 130462 and IEC 60454-3-1-7 compliant
• RoHS compliant and meets specified flame-retardant standards

Who is this for? If you install or repair electrical systems in commercial, industrial or outdoor settings, or if you need a reliable insulating tape for demanding environments, 3M Scotch Super 88 is intended for professional and occupational use. It suits electricians, utility crews, HVAC and equipment maintenance teams who require a durable, widely certified vinyl tape for splicing, jacketing and protective wrapping.
