3M Filament Tape 1339 is a conformable, solvent resistant, high temperature filament tape with acrylic adhesive. Designed for applications needing both the dielectric strength of polyester film and the high mechanical strength of glass fibers.

3M Hook Fastener SJ3530 is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. With its high tack rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates, including plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene.

3M Flame Resistant Hook Fastener SJ3419FR is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. The flame resistant, non-adhesive fastener is most commonly sewn, but can be attached with a variety of hot melt or liquid adhesives. This fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates.

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.

3M VHB Tape 4959F is a double-sided tape comprised of a general-purpose acrylic adhesive with a firm, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 120 mil (3.0 mm) when applied and requires no fixturing or curing time. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. Offering seamless joining and minimal surface preparation, this easy-to-use bonding method keeps surfaces smooth and enhances the appearance of applications involving thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials.

Providing adhesion to a broad range of materials from metals, glass, and other high surface energy substrates, the advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly for long-term durability. It performs in applications for short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 400 °F (204 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 300 °F (149 °C). These attributes make 3M VHB Tape 4959F a reliable choice to take on a variety of bonding and sealing applications in transportation, signage, displays, general industrial, appliance, and electronics. Discover the many ways to apply the powerful bonding potential of 3M VHB Tape 4959F.

3M Flame Resistant Loop Fastener SJ3418FR is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. The flame resistant, non-adhesive fastener is most commonly sewn, but can be attached with a variety of hot melt or liquid adhesives. This fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates.

3M Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4026 is an off-white, 0.0625 in. (1.6 mm) thick, double coated, open cell urethane foam tape that offers high shear strength. It is ideal for applications such as mounting interior signage and nameplates along with soap dispensers and air fresheners.

3M Polyester Tape 876 has a thin, high strength polyester film that provides a degree of conformability while meeting low caliper requirements. This tape works in demanding conditions and provides satisfactory performance in short term bake cycles at 400°F (204°C) as well as longer term autoclave processes up to 350°F (177°C).

3M Polyester Tape 875 has a thin, high strength polyester film that provides a degree of conformability while meeting low caliper requirements. This tape works in demanding conditions and provides satisfactory performance in short term bake cycles at 400°F (204°C), as well as longer term autoclave processes up to 350°F (177°C).

3M Anodization Masking Tape 8985L is a reliable non-silicone solution for Type I (chromic acid) anodization. Designed for performance, it is specifically resistant to chromic acid and provides sharp lines with a rubber adhesive for easy removal. This tape can mask and de-mask up to 5x faster* than labor-intensive liquid masking for improved productivity.

3M Perforated Trim Masking Tape features a rigid band along one edge that slips gently behind moldings, lifting them slightly from the body. This tape allows paint to flow beneath the moldings while masking their exteriors for a professional, finished paint job without removing or replacing the moldings or rework for paint lines. Perforations allow you to tear the tape by hand, saving time.
