1. Product Description
Scotchfil
putty in a tape form. Scotchfil putty is UL Recognized as a
splice insulation for electrical conductors at temperatures up
to 176°F (80°C) when over-wrapped with either Scotch
Super 33+ or Super 88 vinyl Electrical Tape.
• UL “Recognized” Category OCOT2, File No. E59951
• Noncorrosive, synthetic rubber
• Excellent electrical properties
• Excellent aging properties
• Will not dry out
• Applies cleanly without waste
3. Specification
The insulating putty must be in tape form, the thickness of
which must be a minimum of 100 mils (2,54 mm). The tape
must be a rubber based tape capable of being formed and
molded with moderate finger tension at temperatures as low
as 32°F (0°C). Neither the tape nor any of its components
shall cause the corrosion of copper. The tape must be
compatible with most synthetic cable insulation as well as
other splicing tapes.

2. Applications
• To insulate low voltage (600 volts and less) connections
• To build up cable splices and fill out major irregularities
• To round out high voltage connections
• To smooth bus bar irregularities
• To create a resin dam in resin pressure splices
• To create a moisture seal at ground wire exit in high
• To moisture seal multiconductor cable connections
connectors, shall be first built up with electrical insulating
putty to eliminate both sharp corners and voids. Enough
insulating putty shall be used until good overall padding is
provided. Compress putty to fill all voids and generally
smooth up before applying electrical splice protection.
larger than 6 AWG with irregular shaped connectors shall
be insulated with a minimum of 1/4 inch (6,3 mm) of
electrical insulating putty. The entire connection must be
covered with the insulating putty. The insulating putty must
then be over-wrapped with a vinyl tape applied with the
same tension as it has when it comes from the roll. This
vinyl tape shall provide an uniform covering of at least four
layers, half lapped in two directions.
