Data Sheet
February 2017
Description
3M™ Polyimide Film Electrical Tape 1205 is a 1-mil polyimide film backing with
acrylic adhesive. Its acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive allows it to be used at
311ºF (155ºC), and it is UL 510 Flame Retardant. Like most insulated tapes,
from 3M, Tape 1205 is available in standard and custom widths and lengths.
The standard length is 36 yards, and can be cut to widths ranging from 1/4” to
23”. Longer lengths up to several times normal length are possible, dependent
upon width.--Check with Customer Service for details.
UL Recognized component listing not to exceed 155°C (311°F), Meets flame
retardant requirements of UL510, Product Category OANZ2, and 3M File No.
E17385
UL File Number E17385 A and B, Guide OANZ2. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Recognized
products have been evaluated for use as components of end-product equipment that is listed or

Applications
3M 1205 Tape is used for high-temperature electrical applications in which a
tough, thin insulating material is required for wrapping coils, transformers,
capacitors, wire harnesses, and for anchoring leads / terminal boards. It also is
used in printed circuit board assembly as a wave solder masking tape.
3M 1205 Tape is a polyimide film with thermosetting acrylic pressure-sensitive
adhesive.
The tape shall be coated on one side with pressure-sensitive adhesive, which
shall not require heat, moisture or other preparation prior to or subsequent to
application. The adhesive coating shall be smooth and uniform and be free of
lumps and bare spots. There shall be no separator between adjacent layers of
the roll. The tape shall perform at a temperature of -40°F (-40°C) to 311°F
(155°C) without substantial loss of tensile or electrical properties
