This premask, specially formulated for large format screen printed and electronically cut graphics, eases application of larger graphics to substrates. It has a unique low tack adhesive.

3M Double Coated Tape Extended Liner 476XL is a general purpose tape with a pressure sensitive adhesive mounted on a removable extended paper liner for easy liner starting and removal. It is ideal for a variety of closure applications, point-of-purchase displays and indirect food contact applications.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9482PC leverages the power of 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 350 and is mounted on a tan, 58 lb. PCK (polycoated kraft) paper liner for moisture resistance. This transfer tape is an excellent solution for bonding high and low surface energy materials.

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.

For heat shielding applications such as wrapping over and along thermal insulation, use 3M High Temperature Aluminum Foil Tape 433L. This dead soft aluminum foil tape is coated with a clear silicone pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds well to a variety of surfaces and excels in high temperature applications, where other adhesive tapes may fail.

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.

3M VHB Adhesive Transfer Tape F9460PC is a thin, double sided tape capable of conforming to a wide variety of applications. Designed with 2.0 mil 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 100MP, VHB Adhesive Transfer Tape F9460PC establishes exceptional holding power and long-lasting adhesion for fast, strong results.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9502 features 3M Industrial Acrylic Adhesive 220, which provides a good bond to HSE materials. This 2.3 mil adhesive is applied to a 4.2 mil polycoated kraft (PCK) paper liner, which protects it until it is ready to be bonded to the substrate.

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.

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.

3M High Temperature Nylon Film Tape 8555 is a 6.0 mil nylon film tape with a non-silicone rubber adhesive. This tape performs well even in high temperature bake cycles of up to 400°F/204°C. Non-silicone adhesive allows for clean removal, great for parts requiring additional painting or bonding. The tape has a strong, very thick 5.0 mil nylon backing for added toughness and high elongation.

3M High Temperature Nylon Film Tape 855 is designed for high-temperature applications. The 3.2 mil thick tape features a non-silicone rubber adhesive on a tough nylon backing that applies easily, removes cleanly and withstands short temperature bake cycles of 400°F/204°C without leaving residue. This makes for faster anchorage during subsequent painting and bonding vs. silicone-based adhesives.
