It includes an outer wrap for bobbin wound coils, banding arbor wound coils, lead pad hold downs, end turns and lead anchors, as well as connections. This tape is 600V rated and withstands a temperature range of 32 to 302 °F (0 to 150 °C).

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 Urethane Foam Tape 4104 is a firm, high-density, open-cell foam tape with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. This tape will adhere to a variety of substrates and can be used in numerous applications to dampen sound and create a clean and durable product.

3M Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4004 is an off-white, 0.250 in. (6.4 mm) thick, double coated, open cell urethane foam tape that offers high shear strength. It is ideal for applications such as mounting interior signs and nameplates.

Heavy Duty, Abrasion Resistant Protection – 3M Vinyl Tape 472 has a thick backing that combines high abrasion resistance with the inherent conformability of a vinyl. Designed with unique stretch properties, this tape conforms to irregular, curved and convex surfaces while remaining stretched and without lifting after application. The rubber adhesive aggressively adheres to a variety of surfaces and maintains its bond for long periods of time, including up to one year in outdoor applications. This combination of the backing and adhesive properties help to keep the tape securely in place, even in rugged and outdoor conditions.

Because of the thicker backing, this tape is ideal for protection in areas where heavy abrasion is anticipated, as well as sand blast and bead blast overspray protection. 3M Vinyl Tape 472 tape resists most common solvents, but care should be taken to avoid using on highly plasticized materials, as well as ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and esters.

3M Double Coated Paper Tape 410M is a quick-grab double-coated tape with a strong rubber adhesive that offers a dependable hold for temporary attachments and project stabilization. Adhering to a variety of substrates, it can be used for splicing and core starting of papers, foils, films, and fabrics and it will tolerate elevated temperature environments — withstanding long-term use at a temperature up to 150 °F (66 °C) with short-term use up to 180 °F (82 °C). The adhesive is coated on a paper carrier designed to increase strength and help with removability for construction, fabrication, arts and crafts, and many more applications, including die-cutting and automated dispensing.
