Intertape 85831 Blue Vinyl Electrical Tape 7 Mil 60 Ft

Product Description

The INTERTAPE 85831 is a blue vinyl electrical insulating tape built for general-purpose electrical work in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Constructed from a soft, plasticized, stabilized PVC film, it measures 60 feet in length and 0.75 inches (19.05 mm) wide at 7 mil thickness. The backing is coated with a non-corrosive rubber resin adhesive that bonds without corroding conductors or terminals. With a dielectric strength of 600 volts per mil and a tensile strength of 17 pounds per inch, this tape delivers reliable insulation performance for everyday wiring tasks. Electricians, maintenance technicians, and field service pros reach for this tape when a durable, color-coded insulation solution is needed on the job.

The 85831 is suited for a wide range of electrical maintenance and repair applications. Common uses include repairing frayed wiring, splicing electrical wiring, protecting wire-nut connections, resurfacing and insulating hand tools, and general maintenance and repair tasks. The blue color supports phase identification, circuit color-coding, and visual organization in panel work and conduit runs. It performs reliably across an operating temperature range of up to 176 degrees F (80 degrees C), making it appropriate for most standard indoor electrical environments.

Key Features

• 7 mil PVC vinyl film construction for durable insulation and conformability around irregular surfaces
• Dielectric strength of 600 volts per mil for dependable electrical insulation
• Non-corrosive rubber resin adhesive that bonds cleanly without attacking copper or aluminum conductors
• Blue color supports phase identification and circuit color-coding
• 60-foot roll length reduces mid-job roll changes on larger wiring projects
• Tensile strength of 17 pounds per inch resists tearing during application and wrap

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl electrical insulating tape suitable for standard low-voltage wiring, splicing, and insulation tasks in residential and commercial electrical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and repair work involving electrical tape on live or energized circuits should only be performed by qualified electricians following applicable NEC guidelines. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before repairing frayed wiring or making splices. Stretch the tape slightly during wrap to ensure a tight, void-free seal around conductors and wire-nut connections. Overlap each layer by at least half the tape width when building up insulation on a splice.
