3M Vibration Damping Tape 434 is a low temperature, silver, dead soft aluminum foil tape. The constraining layer is coated with a pressure sensitive viscoelastic polymer on a blue polyethylene easy release liner. This tape absorbs and dissipates vibration and reduces noise. It is useful for a variety of applications in the aerospace, automotive, construction, appliance and MRO industries.

This premium performance 3M PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451 has a brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This tape provides a slick surface on process machinery and offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a non-stick surface that performs at elevated temperatures.

3M Strip-Calk is a soft butyl rubber caulking material that quickly and permanently fills all types of seams, joints and openings – long-lasting auto body maintenance and repair in much less time. Simply thumb 1-foot lengths into place without spraying or tools, and smooth it with a finger. Strip-Calk is paintable immediately and never hardens, shrinks or becomes brittle, eliminating rework.

3M VHB Tape 4979F offers a robust and permanent acrylic bonding solution that adheres quickly and securely to a variety of thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. Created for challenging environments and conditions, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing valuable time saving by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. The versatile and easy-to-use bonding method is highly conformable and provides seamless joining that keeps surfaces smooth and aesthetically pleasing to deliver a professional application. The advanced technology of the pressure-sensitive adhesive protects against moisture and seals tightly for long-term durability, performing in short-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C).

Having excellent plasticizer resistance, 3M VHB Tape 4979F excels across many industries, including general industrial, transportation, construction, appliance assembly and repair, signage, and electronics.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9471LE is a versatile, market proven, 2 mil (0.05 mm) transfer tape on a release 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 Adhesive Transfer Tape Double Linered 9555 features 3M Industrial Acrylic Adhesive 220, which provides a good bond to HSE materials. This 5.0 mil adhesive is applied to a 4.2 mil polycoated kraft (PCK) paper liner, which protects it until it is ready to be bonded to the substrate.

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.

Scotch Tape 31 is a 60 mil thick, premium grade, MSHA approved, heavy duty mining tape. This flexible tape provides resistance to abrasion, water and oil. It has an aggressive, abrasion resistant, rubber backing that is ideal for splicing and repairing jackets on mining cables. It withstands a wide temperature range of 32 to 221 °F (0 to 105 °C).

Scotch Solvent Resistant Masking Tape 226 is a black polyethylene film laminated over saturated crepe paper that has excellent resistance against a wide range of damaging chemicals. The polyethylene backing is resistant to many solvents, water solutions and emulsions and paint strippers of the wax-base type and the mild caustic solution solvent-emulsion type.

3M PTFE Skived Film Tape 5480 uses a skived, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), conformable 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 web materials in many types of roll-wrap applications.

3M PTFE Film Tape 5491 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.

Scotch High Temperature Fine Line Tape 4737TL is a conformable tape used to achieve sharp paint lines and color separation for curves and straight lines. It has proven successful in high-temperature painting applications requiring a conformable tape.
