3M Scotchrap Tape 51 is a premium grade, 20 mil thick, all weather tape with PVC backing. It withstands temperatures of 55 to 176 °F ( 48 to 80 °C) and resists abrasion and punctures. This printed, high tack, adhesive tape is corrosion and impact resistant, making it suitable for use on metal piping systems, conduits and fittings both above and below ground.

Designed to perform in demanding work conditions, 3M Polyester Tape 8905 is a thick and durable solution for high temperature masking operations such as powder coating. Coated with a silicone adhesive, this tape is designed to bond to a variety of difficult surfaces. It is chemical resistant and performs under a wide range of temperatures and environments.

This premium performance 3M PTFE Glass Cloth Tape 5451 has a brown woven glass cloth backing impregnated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). This tape provides a slick surface on process machinery and offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a non-stick surface that performs at elevated temperatures.

3M Seam Sealer Tape is designed for auto body professionals to easily duplicate the factory look and function of sealers typical in automotive door jambs and trunk gutters. This rubber backed, 20 mil thick tape is very durable and doesn’t require shaping or drying time like liquid sealers. Just apply and paint – the adhesive is activated by solvent in the paint system for a permanent bond.

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.

Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a “slip plane” effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications. 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5421 is a thinner version of 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5423.

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 High Temperature Aluminum Foil/Glass Cloth Tape 363 is a versatile tape featuring high tensile strength and outstanding puncture/tear-resistance. Heat-reflective aluminum is supported by robust glass cloth to create a strong, conformable backing. Coated with a pressure-sensitive silicone adhesive, it adheres well to irregular and uneven surfaces. Together, this tape resists flame, moisture, weather, and UV degradation, with exceptional thermal conductivity that allows it to perform consistently at temperatures ranging from -65–600 °F (-54–316 °C). High tensile strength, heat-resistance, and reflectivity allows 3M High Temperature Aluminum Foil/Glass Cloth Tape 363 to excel in aerospace, automotive, and general industrial applications.

3M Vinyl Foam Tape 4504 includes a closed cell, high-density, flexible 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 helps to minimize stretching during installation.

3M Vinyl Foam Tape 4516 includes a closed cell, high-density, flexible 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 helps to minimize stretching during installation.

Scotch Printable Flatback Paper Tape 256 adheres to a variety of papers, films, fabrics and yarns. It is printable with standard flexographic inks common in the printing of packaging materials and is also easily marked with ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, pencils and rubber stamps, making it ideal for labeling and coding applications.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3560 is the convenient alternative to traditional fastening methods, such as screws, nuts or bolts.
