Panduit StrongHold™ ST43 Professional Grade PVC Electrical Tape
The Panduit StrongHold™ ST43 Series is a pressure-sensitive vinyl electrical tape engineered for professional-grade performance across a wide range of temperatures. Constructed from PVC with excellent elasticity and insulating properties, this tape is suitable as primary insulation for splicing up to 600 Volts or 80°C (176°F), and also functions as protective jacketing. Each roll ships in an individual plastic puck for convenient jobsite use and is rated for both indoor and outdoor environments. The ST43 Series is available in a full color range — Black, Blue, Brown, Gray, Green, Orange, Red, Violet, White, and Yellow — making it easy to color-code circuits, phases, and cable identification across any job.
Key Features
- Durable Construction: PVC (vinyl) backing with a rubber-based adhesive delivers excellent elasticity and long-term insulating performance.
- Voltage Insulation: Suitable as primary insulation for splicing applications up to 600 Volts or 80°C (176°F).
- Wide Operating Range: Performs from -18°C (0°F) up to 105°C (221°F) maximum operating temperature.
- Dielectric Strength: Rated at 8 kV standard and 7.2 kV wet (90%) for reliable insulation integrity.
- High Elongation & Tensile Strength: 260% elongation at break with 30 N/cm tensile strength for easy application without tearing.
- Indoor/Outdoor Use: Environment rating supports both indoor and outdoor electrical construction and maintenance work.
- Flame Retardant: UL 510 Flame Retardant rated for added job-site safety.
- Color Range: Available in ten colors — Black, Blue, Brown, Gray, Green, Orange, Red, Violet, White, and Yellow — each roll packaged in an individual plastic puck for convenient jobsite use.
