Black Polyester Film Tape 850

3M 850 is a black polyester film tape with an acrylic adhesive on one side. The roll measures one inch wide by 72 yards long on a 1 1/2 inch core. It is built for electrical and general-purpose tasks that demand a thin, conformable backing. The tape is new and ready for immediate use.

Acrylic Adhesive and Temperature Range

The acrylic adhesive delivers 30 oz/in adhesion strength while the polyester backing provides 28 lb-in tensile strength. Total thickness is 1.9 mil, allowing the tape to wrap tight curves without bulk. It maintains performance from -60 degrees F up to 300 degrees F, so it survives both freezing conditions and high-heat environments.

For Insulation and High-Temp Holding

This tape suits electricians and technicians who need reliable insulation, splicing, or holding in extreme temperatures. It is not intended for users who require a wider roll, a different adhesive chemistry, or a lower temperature rating for cost-sensitive jobs. Buyers needing multiple adhesive sides or a cloth backing should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.9 mil polyester backing need replacement after repeated high-temperature exposure?

The tape operates from -60 °F to 300 °F; within that range the acrylic adhesive and polyester backing maintain their 28 lb-in tensile strength and 30 oz/in adhesion without scheduled replacement.

At 300 °F continuous service, does the 30 oz/in adhesive strength drop off first?

The 300 °F upper limit is the first boundary reached; above it both the 28 lb-in tensile strength and 30 oz/in adhesion can degrade, so sustained use should stay below that temperature.

Does the black 850 series tape generate heat or require power when left applied all day?

No — it is a passive acrylic-on-polyester film with no electrical or thermal activity, so it produces no heat and draws no power during continuous application.
