3M 1076: High-Performance Filament-Reinforced Electrical Tape
3M™ Filament-Reinforced Electrical Tape 1076 is a white, 9.5-mil (0.241 mm) thick tape designed for demanding applications. It features a paper backing reinforced with glass filament and a non-corrosive, oil-compatible acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. This high-tensile tape offers stable adherence even after long-term exposure to transformer fluids, making it ideal for oil-filled transformer coil winding applications.
Product’s Key Features
- Electrical-Grade Paper Backing and Oil-Compatible Adhesive: The tape’s paper backing is reinforced with glass filament and provides complete saturation, minimizing the potential for voids. The acrylic adhesive ensures strong adhesion without requiring heat, moisture, or special preparation.
- Reinforced with Glass Filament: The woven glass mat reinforcement enhances the tape’s stability and durability, even after prolonged contact with transformer fluids.
- Temperature Resistance: The tape withstands a temperature range of -40 to 221 °F (-40 to 105 °C), suitable for continuous operation up to 105°C as per UL listing.
- Excellent Bonding: The unique coating supports excellent bonding with diamond paper and insulation epoxy during the transformer baking process.
- Air Entrapment Resistance: The saturable backing helps resist air entrapment, reducing trapped air between adhesive layers.
Applications of 3M 1076
3M 1076 is perfect for holding down magnet wire, copper strips, and insulating materials used in oil-filled transformer coil winding. Its robust construction provides the necessary stiffness for excellent handling during coil winding operations.
Choose 3M 1076 Filament-Reinforced Electrical Tape for your next project to experience top-notch performance, exceptional durability, and compliance with global standards.
