3M 7000031670 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Scotch 35 blue tape be used to insulate a splice, or is it only for phase marking?
Scotch 35 is a 600 V rated vinyl tape, so it works as primary electrical insulation on splices and terminations up to 600 volts as well as for color coding. It is not for high voltage work. The 7 mil (0.18 mm) PVC backing with rubber resin adhesive gives both the electrical and the mechanical protection, which is why the same roll does double duty as phase identification and as insulating wrap.
2) Is 3M Scotch 35 blue tape UL Listed for an inspected commercial job?
It is UL Listed under file E129200, CSA Certified, carries a VDE Marks License, and meets IEC 60454-3-1-6/F-PVC P/90. It is also RoHS compliant without exemption. That package is what most electrical inspectors and institutional specs look for on 600 V insulating tape.
3) Will 3M Scotch 35 blue tape hold up on a hot motor lead or in a cold outdoor pull box?
The service range runs from 14 F to 221 F (-10 C to 105 C), so it stays on hot motor leads and in unheated outdoor enclosures down to well below freezing. It is also UV resistant, which matters if the marked conductors sit in a box or raceway exposed to daylight.
4) Is Scotch 35 a self-fusing rubber tape for waterproofing a direct-burial splice?
No. Scotch 35 is a vinyl tape with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, not self-fusing and not vulcanizing, so it will not form a monolithic moisture block on its own. For a buried or submerged splice, build the pad with a self-fusing rubber splicing tape first and use the 35 as the protective overwrap and color jacket over it.
5) What does blue Scotch 35 tape mark in a 3-phase system?
Blue is the standard identification color for the B phase of a 120/208 V wye system in North America. Scotch 35 comes in a full range of coding colors for that reason, and the blue roll is used for phase B conductors, motor lead identification, and piping or safety area marking where blue is the assigned color on the site legend.
6) Is this tape flame retardant enough for use inside a panel or plenum-adjacent raceway?
Scotch 35 is flame retardant and self extinguishing, and its dielectric strength is 1250 V/mil with insulation resistance over 10^6 megohms. Those are the properties that let it sit inside energized gear rather than only on the outside of a cable jacket.
7) Will Scotch 35 tape stay stuck on a dirty or oily conduit run?
Adhesion to steel is rated 20 oz/in (2.2 N/cm) from a rubber resin adhesive, and the tape is chemical resistant to alkalis, solvents and many acids as well as moisture. Wipe the surface down first anyway. Oil and dust left on a conduit or cable jacket cut adhesion on any PVC tape, this one included.
8) How much can Scotch 35 tape stretch before it tears when wrapping a connector?
Elongation at break is 225 percent with a tensile strength of 30 N/10 mm, so it conforms tightly around wire nuts and irregular connector bodies without splitting when you pull it down. Stretch it to about three quarters of its width on the wrap and let the last turn go on untensioned so the end does not flag back.
9) How long can I keep unopened rolls of Scotch 35 on the shelf in an MRO stockroom?
Shelf life is 5 years from date of manufacture on unopened rolls. That makes it reasonable to standardize a stockroom on a full set of coding colors and buy the blue in quantity without worrying about turnover.
