Product overview
3M™ Tape 77 (7100004537, 7100004701) is a professional-grade Fire-Retardant Arc Proofing Tape. It’s designed to protect electrical cables from fire and arc hazards in demanding industrial environments. Made from a highly flexible intumescent elastomer, 3M Tape 77 expands under extreme heat. This forms a thick, insulating char barrier between adjacent cables and surrounding flames. This Scotch Tape 77 offers arc-proofing performance up to 600V and can be applied with ease across a wide range of cable types, especially in confined or irregular spaces.
Part Numbers: 7100004537, 7100004701.
3M Scotch Fire-Retardant Electric Arc Proofing Tape 77
Engineered for electrical maintenance, construction, utility, and renewable sectors, Scotch 77 provides an essential layer of passive fire protection for vulnerable cable installations. Its conformable, non-adhesive design ensures fast, wrinkle-free wrapping without the need for additional tools or adhesives. Once exposed to fire, this Fire-Retardant Arc Proofing Tape self-extinguishes and forms a tough char, shielding cables and extending critical system uptime.
