Prevent Outdoor Electrical Hazards with 3M Electrical Tapes
-
Electrical installations located outdoors are vulnerable to the elements. Cable jackets degrade with direct exposure to UV rays, and exposed connectors carry a heightened risk of electric shock during rain.
Use 3M electrical tapes to protect components from weather damage and prevent outdoor hazards and ensure safety. Mastic tapes from 3M seals tight in open-air environments and offers superior water resistance. For added UV protection, use premium-grade 3M PVC electrical tapes, which holds fast and won’t melt under direct sunlight.

Electrical Tapes for High-Moisture Environments
In wet and humid conditions, proper sealing and repairs keeps corrosion out of electrical systems. Otherwise, unprotected cables and wires will lose their conductive properties and cause mechanical failure.
Seal and weatherproof your connections with these 3M electrical tapes to prevent damage and unscheduled maintenance.
