3M Polyimide Film Electrical Tape 92 is a 1-mil polyimide film backing with silicone adhesive. Its silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive allows it to be used at 356ºF (180ºC), and it is UL 510 Flame Retardant. Like most insulated tapes, from 3M, Tape 92 is available in standard and custom widths and lengths. The standard length is 36 yards, and can be cut to widths ranging from 1/4” to 23”. Longer lengths up to several times normal length are possible, dependent upon width.–Check with Customer Service for details.
FEATURES:
- Polyimide backing provides exceptional heat resistance
- Thermosetting, silicone adhesive is smooth and has a uniform that eliminates bare spots and lumps
- Suitable for coils, harnesses and capacitor applications
- Printable tape on a 3-in core
- Withstands a temperature range of 32 to 356 degrees F (0 to 180 degrees C)
- Flame-retardant
- UL Listed
APPLICATIONS:
3M Tape 92 is used for high-temperature electrical applications in which a tough, thin insulating material is required for wrapping coils, transformers, capacitors, wire harnesses, and for anchoring leads / terminal boards. It also is used in printed circuit board assembly as a wave solder masking tape.
SHELF LIFE & STORAGE:
Tape 92 has a 5-year shelf life from date of manufacture when stored in a
humidity controlled storage (10°C/50°F to 27°C/80°F and <75% relative humidity).
3M 92 Tape is a polyimide film with thermosetting silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. The tape shall be coated on one side with pressure-sensitive adhesive, which shall not require heat, moisture or other preparation prior to or subsequent to application. The adhesive coating shall be smooth and uniform and be free of lumps and bare spots. There shall be no separator between adjacent layers of the roll. The tape shall perform at a temperature of -40°F (-40°C) to 356°F (180°C) without substantial loss of tensile or electrical properties.
