3M Temflex 1610 PVC Electrical Tape is a very high quality grade of PVC electrical tape that embodies the quality for which 3M is known. This tape is highly conformable and can be easily applied in tight wraps to all kinds of shapes and surfaces. It uses a vinyl backing and is available in a selection of bright and distinct colours.
3M Temflex 1610 PVC Tape is just 0.15mm thick and can therefore be used for bundling and wrapping while adding very little additional bulk. It has a high dielectric strength and a maximum elongation rating of 200% which allows for stretching during application. Once applied, Temflex 1610 withstands abrasion, tearing, weathering and attack from a range of chemicals.
3M and Temflex are trademarks of 3M.

FAQ's for Temflex 1610.
Can Temflex 1610 be used outdoors?
Yes. 3M Temflex 1610 is resistant to weathering, UV and fading and can be used indoors or outdoors. In fact, it has often been used for weather-proofing connections and fittings.
How should I apply Temflex 1610?
Generally, for wrapping you should apply this electrical tape using half-lapped layers with enough tension on them to force the tape to conform and create a nice, smooth layer. Do note, this tension will cause the tape to stretch a little which means its width will be reduced. This is normal. Do not apply tension when applying the last wrap though to prevent the tape springing loose (flagging).
