3M Loop Fastener SJ3401 is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. The 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.

Scotch Box Sealing Tape 313 is a high performance packing tape that is suitable for hard to stick surfaces and cold temperature applications. The polypropylene film backing is easy to handle and resists abrasion, moisture and scuffing. The consistent and reliable backing easily conforms around edges and on rough surfaces for a tight seal.

3M Extreme Sealing Tape 4411W+ is a go-to solution for quick and clean sealing, bringing both excellent conformability and instant adhesion to eliminate the cure time, mess, and oozing associated with liquid sealants. Designed to stick with pressure to metals and plastics in order to cover edges, rivets, joints, splices, scew heads, holes, and gaps, this tape dramatically simplfies the sealing process and removes the need for messy caulking equipment. However, while this tape makes application easy, it doesn’t compromise on toughness — delivering resistance to sun, rain, and extreme temperatures, along with solvents. Challenge the status quo and reimagine how you seal with 3M Extreme Sealing Tape 4411W+.

Heavy duty industrial application slip-resistant tape.

3M VHB Tape RP+110GF is a double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a PE film liner. With a conformable foam core, it has a total thickness of 45 mil (1.1 mm) when applied. This tape offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to high and medium surface energy metals and plastics.
