& Self Certifications
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,
form 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.
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 classified by
UL. To achieve Underwriters Laboratories recognition, component construction must meet UL
specifications and conditions of acceptability for proper and safe use of the component or product.

RoHS
2011/65/EC
"RoHS 2011/65/EU" means that the product or part does not contain any of the substances in excess
of the maximum concentration values (“MCVs”) in EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The MCVs are by
weight in homogeneous materials. This information represents 3M's knowledge and belief, which may

Applications
Specifications
Tape 1205 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.
Tape 1205 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
