The standard varnished cambric tape can also be used for applications such as insulating joints requiring rapid and clean re-entry such as motor lead and service drop and in areas where mechanical protection and puncture resistance is critical.
The tape has excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, alkalies, acids, corrosion and varying weather conditions (including UV exposure) and forms part of the 3M Scotch Electrical Tapes.
