3M PTFE Film Tape 5490 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.

3M Squeak Reduction Tape 9325 is a thin, transparent UHMW polyethylene film tape with an acrylic adhesive. It is commonly used to control squeaks and rattles due to vibration or wear of metal and plastic parts. 3M Squeak Reduction Tape 9325 is a thinner version of the 3M Squeak Reduction Tape 5430.

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 Membrane Switch Spacer 7966WDL features a 2 mil white PET film carrier with a metallized vapor coat for added opacity, ideal for graphics. 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP delivers excellent shear strength during repeated switch actuation and forms clean edges for precise slitting and die-cutting. A PCK paper liner resists humidity and adds stability for improved sheet processing.

3M Scotchrap Tape 50 is a premium grade, 10 mil thick, all weather, PVC backing tape. It withstands temperatures of 55 to 176 °F ( 48 to 80 °C). This high tack adhesive tape offers resistance to corrosion, impact, abrasion and puncture, making it suitable for use on metal piping systems, conduits and fittings both above and below ground.

Scotch Strapping Tape 8898 is a high performance tape specifically formulated for use in many industries, including appliance, metalworking and general industrial. The tensilized polypropylene film backing features a pressure-sensitive synthetic rubber adhesive that provides high initial adhesion holding power and clean removal from some surfaces, such as metal.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape F9465PC features a 5 mil medium-firm acrylic adhesive on a polycoated paper liner. It is designed to bond high surface energy (HSE) plastics and to resist the effects of plasticizer migration in flexible vinyls.

3M Removable Repositionable Tape 9415PC is a double-coated tape that works on a variety of substrates or materials for the temporary mounting of lightweight materials, such as paper, plastics, films, or foams. This low-tack adhesive allows removal from many papers, foils, and films, and its resilient polyester carrier improves the handling and strength of the tape, provides dimensional stability, helps deliver efficient processing of parts, and promotes consistent ease of liner removal. This tape is ideal for a wide range of applications, including core starting/end tabbing, holding credit cards in mailers, closing envelopes, and more.

This tape also utilizes 3M Adhesive 400 on the face side, which provides an excellent balance of good initial adhesion and good shear-holding power across a range of temperatures, as well as 3M Adhesive 1000 on the liner side, a low-tack, repositionable, acrylic, pressure-sensitive adhesive that allows for removal and repositioning of many papers, plastics, foams, and foils.

3M Polyester Protective Tape 335 is a thin, pink colored, polyester film tape with a low tack rubber adhesive. It is designed to protect polished metal and plastic surfaces during production, packing, shipping and installation with minimal adhesion build-up and clean removal.
