The 3M Aluminum Foil Tape 431 is a high-performance foil tape designed for numerous applications across a broad range of industries. Comprised of a dead soft aluminum foil backing with a highly engineered pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, it is ideal for heat shielding, heat reflecting, light enhancement, seaming and sealing.

3M Vinyl Foam Tape 4718 includes a closed cell, medium-density foam backing with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. It allows for quick-stick to a variety of substrates including many metals, glass and plastics. The silicone treated white paper liner allows for die cutting without having to laminate another liner to the foam.

3M Vinyl Tape 471 is a versatile tape that provides long-lasting floor marking, sharp paint lines, surface protection, and reliable seals in complex situations across a variety of industries. Engineered with unique stretch properties, this tape conforms to rough, irregular, curved, and convex surfaces without lifting. It uses a rubber adhesive that bonds immediately and removes cleanly on a wide variety of substrates. Made for high performance, the vibrant backing resists abrasion, moisture, and solvents. Conformability, instant adhesion, and clean removal all make 3M Vinyl Tape 471 an exceptional choice for general-purpose surface protection, floor marking, hazard identification, paint masking, and decorating.

Scotch Fine Line Masking Tape 2800 is designed especially for masking thermoplastic olefin (TPO) surfaces and for bake cycles that reach up to 300°F (148°C) for 30 minutes. It is compatible with most industrial paints and painting processes and removes cleanly for up to 7 days outdoors with no residue, tracking or bleeding.

3M VHB Tape 4919F is a multipurpose acrylic bonding agent made with a conformable foam core that adheres quickly and permanently to a variety of thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. Because of its strong holding power, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while saving time and labor associated with traditional bonding methods, such as welding, screwing, grinding, and project cleanup. The fast and easy-to-use application offers concealed joining to give a quality outcome within a range of industries, including construction, electronics, signage, general industrial, and many more.

3M VHB Tape 4919F has high adhesion to metals, glass, paints, plastics, and plasticized vinyl enabling the pressure-sensitive adhesive to stick instantly in challenging environments where water, moisture, heat, cold, and chemicals are present. Not only does it seal 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) but it also has excellent plasticizer resistance. Offering high conformability and reliability, use it for decorative trim, nameplates, logos, electronic displays, panel-to-frame, and stiffener-to-panel operations.

Dream, Design, Deliver with the 3M VHB Commercial Vehicle Tape CV62F. It is a gray, 0.062 in. (1.57 mm), multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable, foam core and film liner. It is used for commercial vehicle sidewall panel to post and panel to panel attachment. The fast and easy to use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability.

3M Double Coated Tape 415 is a double coated tape that offers a balance of high initial adhesion and good holding power on a variety of substrates, especially paper. Double sided adhesion increases dimensional stability for easy handling, making it an ideal choice for both zero speed and flying splices during printing.

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.

3M Flame Resistant Hook Fastener SJ3519FR is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. With its flame resistant rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates, including plastics.

3M Hook Fastener SJ3506 is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great design flexibility and fast product assembly. With its acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this low-profile fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment for lightweight applications.

For applications requiring good adhesion to recycled corrugated fiberboard, use Scotch High Strength Filament Tape 890RCT. This filament-reinforced tape is ideal for basiloid and heavy appliance lifting applications. It offers long-term holding power, very-high tensile strength, and excellent abrasion, moisture and scuff resistance.

3M Aluminum Foil Tape 427 is the go-to foil tape for numerous applications across a broad range of industries. Comprised of a dead soft aluminum foil backing 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.
