Designed for used on web rollers, 3M Traction Tape 5401 provides a high coefficient of friction for tracking and tension of web material from start-up through wind-up. In addition, this tape provides a non-stick surface with easy release properties that won’t interfere with printing, converting or other web processes.

3M PTFE Film Tape 5498 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive rubber adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in mold release applications where a non-silicone tape is required.

3M Lead Foil Tape 420 is an electrically and thermally conductive tape. This highly conformable tape resists flame, moisture, weather, UV degradation, chemicals and radiation. Mated with an easy-release film liner, this malleable tape can be shaped into complex or detailed patterns or die-cut into specific shapes to meet assembly and manufacturing process needs.

3M Double Coated Polyethylene Foam Tape 4492 Black is a closed-cell, polyethylene foam carrier. It is formulated for more demanding indoor and outdoor mounting and bonding applications. A noted feature of Foam Tape 4492 Black is its ability to conform and bond to irregular surfaces. It offers good temperature resistance and long term durability.

3M Removable Repositionable Tape 9415PC is a double-coated tape that works on a variety of substrates or materials for the temporary mounting of lightweight materials, such as paper, plastics, films, or foams. This low-tack adhesive allows removal from many papers, foils, and films, and its resilient polyester carrier improves the handling and strength of the tape, provides dimensional stability, helps deliver efficient processing of parts, and promotes consistent ease of liner removal. This tape is ideal for a wide range of applications, including core starting/end tabbing, holding credit cards in mailers, closing envelopes, and more.

This tape also utilizes 3M Adhesive 400 on the face side, which provides an excellent balance of good initial adhesion and good shear-holding power across a range of temperatures, as well as 3M Adhesive 1000 on the liner side, a low-tack, repositionable, acrylic, pressure-sensitive adhesive that allows for removal and repositioning of many papers, plastics, foams, and foils.

3M Damping Foil Tape 2552 is constructed of a dead soft aluminum foil constraining layer and coated with a pressure sensitive, viscoelastic acrylic polymer adhesive. This unique construction provides the ability to control resonant vibrations in a variety of applications and across a broad spectrum of temperatures.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9672LE is a versatile, market proven, 5 mil (0.13 mm) transfer tape on a printed release paper liner. Featuring 3M 300LSE acrylic adhesive, this tape has a long and proven history of reliably bonding a wide variety of similar and dissimilar materials such as metals, most plastics, glass, papers and painted surfaces.

3M Double Coated Tape 9832+ provides high initial adhesion and good holding power on a variety of substrates. The thin, polyester film carrier provides dimensional stability and improved handling during slitting and die cutting. It is commonly used for plastics and foam.

The face side features 2.8 mil of 3M Adhesive 300MP+, excellent for bonding foams and fabrics. The back side is coated with 3.4 mil of 3M Adhesive 300LSE, which delivers high bond strength to a range of similar and dissimilar surfaces including plastics, metals, glass and paint.

3M VHB Tape 5952P is a double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with a conformable, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 45 mil (1.1 mm) when applied and requires no curing time. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology offers secure bonding that performs on many painted and powder coated surfaces. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. Offering seamless joining and minimal surface preparation, this easy-to-use bonding method keeps surfaces smooth and aesthetically pleasing resulting in a professional application on thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials.

It performs in applications for short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C). This tape balances strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to various surfaces, such as stainless steel. These attributes make 3M VHB Tape 5952P a reliable choice to take on a variety of bonding and sealing applications in transportation, appliance, electronics, construction, signage, and general industrial. Discover the many ways to apply the powerful bonding potential of 3M VHB Tape 5952P.
