3M PTFE Film Tape 5490 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in the movement of materials in many types of lay-flat applications.

3M Industrial Sealing Tape IS1 provides an easy sealing method that creates a moisture barrier under panels or where rivets, screws, or nails are present in automotive, specialty vehicle, electronic and heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC), and wind energy applications. This conformable tape is engineered with a waterproof membrane and acrylic adhesive that helps protect interior environments from leakage at joints, including panels, floors, trim, and frames, by sealing around the fastener for a secure seal. Designed for reliability, the product provides an easy-to-use and effective alternative to slow-curing and messy liquid sealants while offering robust adhesion that sticks to most substrates.

Because of the versatility of the tape, it can be applied in temperatures as low as 0 °F (-18 °C) with an operating temperature range of -40 °F to 240 °F (-40 °C to 116 °C). 3M Industrial Sealing Tape IS1 excels in water leak prevention, including sealing around RV windows, automotive frames, interior joints in HVAC systems, the tops of electrical enclosures, and more. For a tight water seal, explore the sealing potential of this tape in your next industrial application.

3M Double Coated Tape GPT-020TF is an 8 mil (200 micron), high-tack, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape with an unbranded, translucent red, 3.1 mil (80 micron) polypropylene liner. Ideal for automated processes and easy to convert due to the flexibility of the film, it bonds to a variety of high to low-surface energy materials, such as glass and stainless steel, while providing excellent humidity resistance. Combining a high level of peel and shear performance this general-use tape allows for high-temperature applications up to 300 °F (149 °C) in short-term operations and up to 200 °F (93 °C) for long-term use.

3M Double Coated Tape GPT-020TF is suited for a wide range of purposes, including point-of-purchase displays, indoor and outdoor signage bonding, billboard mounting, paper bonding and packaging, splicing, furniture and decorative trim adhesion, and many more.

Scotch High Performance Fine Line Tape 4740 is a pressure-sensitive, solventless adhesive tape engineered to resist lifting and withstand high temperatures for two-tone paint applications in automotive OEM, specialty vehicle, and the aerospace markets. With a tape thickness of 5.2 mil (0.13 mm), it meets the demands of challenging operations and is designed to remove cleanly with no edge residue, delivering professional and consistent results. Its exceptional conformability allows instant and secure adhesion onto steel, intricate surfaces, depressed areas, and sharp curves. The versatility of the tape makes it ideal for precision work involving simple or complex patterns in automotive fascia, custom two-tone, and other critical masking applications.

Scotch High Performance Fine Line Tape 4740 can endure multiple paint-bake cycles, handling temperatures as high as 320 °F (160 °C) for up to 60 minutes and 356 °F (180 °C) for up to 10 minutes. The water-based adhesive reduces solvent usage during product formulation and manufacturing by 80% compared to similar 3M solvent-based fine line tapes. These benefits of excellent conformability, high-temperature resistance, clean removal, and a solventless adhesive allow this tape to deliver professional paint lines and reduce inefficiencies or rework caused by adhesive residue and ghosting. Elevate your operations with this reliable solution that helps you achieve crisp paint lines and a quality application.
