Description
The 3M 7010350285 glass cloth electrical tape 79 is a printable, solvent resistant insulation tape made for coil wrap, banding and outer wrap applications in motors and transformers. Constructed with a stable glass cloth backing and a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, the tape resists edge tear, shrinking and rot while absorbing varnishes and resins for reliable varnish flow out. Rated to 600V and specified for continuous service up to 150 °C, this 1.5 inch x 60 yd, 7.0 mil tape meets demanding thermal and mechanical requirements. The 3m 79 tape is available in related width formats and is chosen where printable, conformable glass cloth insulation is required for electrical assembly and repair.
Product Features and Benefits
600V rated for coil and motor insulation
3M 7010350285 is UL-listed 600V rating makes this glass cloth tape suitable for outer wraps, lead anchors and turn insulation in dry-location motor and transformer assemblies.
Pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive
Acrylic adhesive provides strong, stable bonds without heat activation and resists solvents, improving handling during coil winding and varnishing operations.
Glass cloth backing for dimensional stability
3m 79 tape features glass cloth that resists rot, shrinkage and mechanical stress, ensuring consistent build thickness and reduced risk of insulation failure over service life.
Printable and resin / varnish absorbent
Printable surface allows part identification; backing absorbs varnish/resin to form a reliable composite insulation system after impregnation.
Wide application temperature and conformability
Rated for continuous operation to 150 °C and highly conformable for arbor wound and bobbin wound coils where controlled contouring is required.
