The 3M VHB Tape Push Out Demo is a demonstration kit showcasing the high-strength bonding capabilities of 3M VHB Tape, designed to illustrate its effectiveness in various applications.

Scotch High Tack Box Sealing Tape 371+ is a high-strength, medium-duty hot melt tape. Engineered to adhere to a variety of substrates, including up to 100% recycled corrugate, this hot melt tape offers a quick and secure seal for palletized shipments and high-value items — helping to minimize theft and content replacement costs. Whether cartons are being processed in room temperature environments or down to 40 °F (4.4 °C), the tape sticks at first application, which saves valuable time and reduces the outcome of tape failure and rework.

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.

For splicing applications requiring quick stick and an aggressive, permanent hold, use 3M Polyester Tape 850. Used in a variety of applications, including web processing, label protection, and marking. This tape is available in various colors, as well as a transparent.

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.

3M Impact Stripping Tape 500 features a green, rubber backed tape with a paper liner. It has a specially formulated, backing that withstands impact against common blasting media such as aluminum oxide, steel shot, glass bead, and plastic. This tape is the thinnest of the portfolio yet provides outstanding conformability.

3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is a thick, general-purpose polyethylene tape made for high-impact, abrasion, and sliding applications. Its UPMW-PE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) thermoplastic backing enables its low-friction and resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and vibration in demanding situations. The exceptional hardness and slick surface is ideal for maintaining a gliding, ‘slip-plane’ effect and reducing noises like squeaks and rattles. Furthering its workability, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423 is mounted on a liner, allowing the user to die-cut shapes to exact specifications. Between its low-friction coefficient, built-in liner, and long-lasting protection, this slick-surfaced tape excels in the aerospace, automotive, printing, and MRO industries.

Scotch Filament Tape 8915 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 appliances. Between its sturdy reinforced construction, user-friendly adhesive, and versatile shipment preparation capabilities, Scotch Filament Tape 8915 is the ideal tape for many temporary holding and attachment applications.

With a polypropylene backing and glass yarn reinforcement, Scotch Filament Tape 8981 resists abrasion, moisture, scuffing and breaks. This filament-reinforced tape is ideal for securing boxes, bundling pipe or reinforcing large bulk containers, Scotch Filament Tape 8981 is a high-strength, reliable and affordable solution for product and package integrity.

3M Urethane Foam Tape 4317 is a conformable, low-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 mounting applications to dampen sound and create a clean and durable product.

3M Vinyl Foam Tape 4726 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 Polyester Tape 8412 is a transparent polyester film tape with excellent tensile strength and abrasion resistance. It features a tough, polyester backing and an acrylic adhesive. 3M Polyester Tape 8412 can be used for many heavy-duty, permanent edging and reinforcing types of applications.
