3M Aluminum Foil Tape 425 is the go-to foil tape for numerous applications across a broad range of industries. Comprised of a dead soft aluminum foil backing and coated with a highly engineered pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, it is ideal for heat shielding, heat reflecting, chemical masking, light enhancement, chemical milling, seaming, sealing and de-paint operations.

3M Venture Tape Double Coated PE Foam Glazing Tape VG716 is 1/16″ thick closed cell, crosslinked polyethylene foam tape coated with rubber based adhesive on one side and acrylic based adhesive on the other (liner side) with a 4 mil blue poly easy release liner.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9672 features high strength 3M Adhesive 300, which provides an excellent bond to a range of textured or smooth HSE and LSE materials. This 5.0 mil adhesive is applied to a 6.2 mil polycoated kraft paper liner, making the transfer tape ideal for applications requiring a thin caliper and high tack. The 83-lb. liner provides excellent handling and lay-flat properties.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9459W features high strength 3M Adhesive 300, which provides a very high initial tack and an excellent bond to a range of materials including many coated papers and foams. The 1.5 mil white adhesive increases opacity, excellent for sub-surface graphics printed labels. It is applied to a 55# DK paper liner which adds dimensional stability.

Scotch Filament Tape 8916V is a reliable solution for holding parts and consumer goods throughout the manufacture and shipping timeline. Constructed with a filament-reinforced polypropylene backing, this tape resists abrasion, moisture, scuff and break, even after being nicked or punctured. Its multi-layer synthetic-rubber adhesive offers high adhesion, stain resistance, and clean removal on materials commonly used in packaging, such as corrugated cardboard, fiberboard, plastic, and metal. Between its sturdy reinforced construction, user-friendly adhesive, and versatile shipment preparation capabilities, Scotch Filament Tape 8916V is the ideal tape for most temporary holding and attachment applications.

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.

Constructed with a woven fiberglass backing, 3M General Purpose Glass Cloth Tape 3615 features a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive for applications requiring high-temperature resistance and high adhesion. It is often used for high temperature applications requiring high tensile strength and good holding power.

Scotch Filament Tape 898 is an ideal solution for full overlap L-clip box closures, bundling pipe or reinforcing large bulk containers. Filament-reinforced polypropylene backing provides excellent tensile strength in addition to abrasion, moisture, scuff and break resistance, even when nicked or punctured. To allow easier application, this tape is engineered to dispense consistently without curling. Its multi-layer synthetic-rubber adhesive system prevents delamination and bonds well to a variety of common packaging materials such as corrugated cardboard, fiberboard, plastic, and metals. Reinforcing glass filaments, powerful adhesive, and durable overall construction allow Scotch Filament Tape 898 to excell in harsh shipping environments.

For bundling pipe or coil tabbing, use Scotch Filament Tape 880. This filament-reinforced tape has a polypropylene backing reinforced with continuous polyester fibers to provide high tensile strength, impact and cut resistance. It resists abrasion, moisture, scuffing and breaks, even if nicked or punctured.

3M Super Bond Film Tape 396 offers the thin caliper tensile strength of polyester and high immediate holding strength of rubber adhesive for creating butt splices on low surface energy materials such as polyethylene and other difficult-to-adhere-to surfaces. Often referred to as a single-sided adhesive splicing and core starting tape.

Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a “slip plane” effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features outstanding chemical resistance and a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.
