3M Venture Tape Aluminum Foil Tape 1521CW is a conformable, 2.8 mil tape that is suitable for masking and sealing in general-purpose heat shielding and light-reflecting applications. Coated with cold-weather acrylic adhesive, this durable tape performs well in a wide range of environmental conditions, and bonds and seals at temperatures as low as -10 °F (-23 °C). It is backed by foil that allows it to easily conform to irregular surfaces and on fibrous and sheet metal ductwork. This pressure-sensitive tape is hand tearable and adheres quickly without special application methods or additional tools. It maintains its form without lifting or curling, even after an extended period of time.

This tape meets the UL723 flame/smoke rating, as well as the CAN/ULC S102 classification flame/smoke rating. For optimal performance in cold environments, 3M Venture Tape Aluminum Foil Tape 1521CW provides a durable bond in various masking and sealing operations.

3M Squeak Reduction Tape 5430 is a transparent UHMW polyethylene film tape with an acrylic adhesive. It is commonly used to control squeaks and rattles due to vibration or wear of metal and plastic parts.

3M Double Coated Adhesive Tape L1+DCP is a 3.5 mil double-coated polyester (PET) tape that provides added dimensional stability and improved handing during laminating or die cutting processes, particularly on thin or flexible substrates. Adhesive coat weight of 1.5 mils on each side of a 0.50 mil PET carrier provides good adhesion to many foam substrates.

3M Construction Seaming Tape 8087CW is a cold weather sheathing tape designed to seal seams on housewrap and exterior sheathing materials. This tape features an aggressive pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive mounted on a biaxially oriented polypropylene film. It performs exceptionally well in cold temperature applications.

Scotch Pad 2200 is a 125 mil thick, premium grade self fusing mastic pad used to offer moisture sealing and pad connections up to 600V. It is laminated to a flexible, all weather, UV resistant vinyl backing for added mechanical protection and withstands a wide temperature range of 0 to 100 °F ( 18 to 38 °C).

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3441 is the easy and clear alternative to traditional fastening methods, such as screws, nuts or bolts. It is designed to deliver a durable, reclosable fastening solution, which can be opened and closed multiple times. This black fastener is most commonly attached by applying hot melt, epoxy or liquid adhesive.

3M Vibration Damping Tape 435 is a low temperature, silver, dead soft aluminum foil tape. The aluminum foil constraining layer is coated with a pressure sensitive viscoelastic polymer on an easy release liner. This tape absorbs and dissipates vibration, reducing noise and fatigue.

Scotch Box Sealing Tape 355, one of the very best performers in the Scotch polyester line of tapes, securely closes double and triple walled corrugated cartons, including those with high recycled content, saving time and reducing closure failures. The polyester backing resists moisture, abrasion and scuffing to hold strong throughout the shipping process.

3M Double Coated Polyester Tape 442KW is a double sided tape featuring a rubber based adhesive, ideal for laminated bonding with semiconductor CMP polishing pads and clean removal from platens. A thin polyester (PET) film carrier helps the adhesive bond firmly to both platen and pad. A polycoated paper release liner provides excellent dimensional stability.

3M Vinyl Tape 471 is a versatile tape that provides long-lasting floor marking, sharp paint lines, surface protection, and reliable seals in complex situations across a variety of industries. Engineered with unique stretch properties, this tape conforms to rough, irregular, curved, and convex surfaces without lifting. It uses a rubber adhesive that bonds immediately and removes cleanly on a wide variety of substrates. Made for high performance, the vibrant backing resists abrasion, moisture, and solvents. Conformability, instant adhesion, and clean removal all make 3M Vinyl Tape 471 an exceptional choice for general-purpose surface protection, floor marking, hazard identification, paint masking, and decorating.

3M PTFE Film Tape 5491 uses an extruded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film backing. This tape offers an extremely low coefficient of friction which, in combination with a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive, creates a smooth, non-stick surface over a variety of substrates to assist in the movement of materials in many types of lay-flat applications.
