3M PTFE Film Tape 5498 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive rubber adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in mold release applications where a non-silicone tape is required.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9471 offers excellent adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, including smooth LSE plastics and foam. It is often used as a general purpose transfer tape in a variety of surface bonding applications.

3M Polyester Tape 8412 is a transparent polyester film tape with excellent tensile strength and abrasion resistance. It features a tough, polyester backing and an acrylic adhesive. 3M Polyester Tape 8412 can be used for many heavy-duty, permanent edging and reinforcing types of applications.

Scotch Tape 23 is a 30 mil, premium grade, highly conformable, rubber splicing tape. The self fusing tape has a special polyester liner, which will not stick to the tape upon unwind. It withstands temperatures up to 194 °F (90 °C).

Scotch Filament Tape 898 is an ideal solution for full overlap L-clip box closures, bundling pipe or reinforcing large bulk containers. Filament-reinforced polypropylene backing provides excellent tensile strength in addition to abrasion, moisture, scuff and break resistance, even when nicked or punctured. To allow easier application, this tape is engineered to dispense consistently without curling. Its multi-layer synthetic-rubber adhesive system prevents delamination and bonds well to a variety of common packaging materials such as corrugated cardboard, fiberboard, plastic, and metals. Reinforcing glass filaments, powerful adhesive, and durable overall construction allow Scotch Filament Tape 898 to excell in harsh shipping environments.

3M Double Coated Polyethylene Foam Tape 4492 White is a closed-cell, polyethylene foam carrier. It is formulated for more demanding indoor and outdoor mounting and bonding applications.
