At 3M, the focus is on innovation, enhancing application efficiency and effectiveness in a broad range of working conditions and temperature environments. For best application practices, apply in half-lapped layers with enough tension to create a uniform wrap. For most applications, this tension will reduce the tape width to approximately 5/8 of its original size. When taping pigtail splices, wrap the tape beyond the ends of the wires and then fold it back to provide a protective cushion against cut-through. For the final wrap, apply the tape without tension to help prevent flagging.
