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.

Constructed of a glass cloth backing and a thermosetable rubber adhesive, 3M Thermosetable Glass Cloth Tape 365 is an excellent choice for applications requiring high adhesion for a variety of surfaces. It excels particularly well in splicing many materials with rough surfaces or low internal strength such as roofing felts and textiles.

3M Low VOC Double Coated Tissue Tape 99015LVC is designed for use on substrates commonly found in automotive interiors. It features a durable 5.9 mil acrylic adhesive that has been tested to JAMA and VDA278 low VOC requirements. The tissue carrier is easy to handle when laminating and, along with a 58 lb. densified kraft liner, makes for precise and efficient die cutting.

3M Venture Tape Double Coated PET Tape 1163MS74 is a high performance, high tack double coated PET tape mounted on a 74 lb. release liner. This tape bonds to a variety of difficult surfaces including high surface energy plastics and composite materials. This tape is engineered for demanding bonding applications and designed with excellent resistance to UV and temperature.

3M VentureClad Insulation Jacketing System 1577CW-WM is used for cladding and jacketing applications and creates a vapor barrier for HVAC, ductwork, vessels and pipes. This conformable tape is able to conform to a curved or irregular surface. It offers zero permeability, installs without special tools and is highly puncture and tear resistant – ideal for any indoor or outdoor task. This laminate tape can withstand temperatures as cold as -40 °F/-40 °C and as hot as 248 °F/120 °C. It’s suitable for use on materials like fiberglass, polystyrene and conformable aerogel. It protects insulation against mold, UV, weather, oil and grease, chemicals, impact and mechanical abuse, corrosion under insulation (CUI).

This tape qualifies for compliance credit for LEED v4 and is UL723 classified. 3M VentureClad Insulation Jacketing System 1577CW-WM provides a reliable barrier and protection during jacketing and cladding operations.

3M Scrim Reinforced Adhesive Tape L1+RT features a 3.2 mil modified acrylic adhesive that delivers aggressive quick stick and a permanent bond to plastics, metals, nonwovens, felts and foams. The high density scrim carrier boosts dimensional stability during lamination processes.

3M Double Coated Adhesive Tape L1+DCP is a 3.5 mil double-coated polyester (PET) tape that provides added dimensional stability and improved handing during laminating or die cutting processes, particularly on thin or flexible substrates. Adhesive coat weight of 1.5 mils on each side of a 0.50 mil PET carrier provides good adhesion to many foam substrates.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3440 is the easy and clear alternative to traditional fastening methods, such as screws, nuts or bolts. It is designed to deliver a durable, reclosable fastening solution, which can be opened and closed multiple times. This black fastener is most commonly attached by applying hot melt, epoxy or liquid adhesive.

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.
