3M Venture Tape Double Coated PET Tape 514CW is a high performance tape with a polyester backing and acrylic adhesive. This tape bonds to a wide variety of metals, high surface energy plastics and composite materials. 3M engineered this tape for demanding bonding applications and designed it to feature excellent UV and temperature resistance.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3541 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) which bonds to a variety of substrates including many plastics and low surface energy materials. Durable and secure, 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3541 has exceptional strength through its interlocking mushroom-shaped heads (400 stem density per square inch), providing up to 5X the tensile strength of typical hook-and-loop products. 3M designed this fastener with a synthetic rubber-based black PE foam tape protected by a removable, film liner. This pressure sensitive adhesive features quick stick and a short dwell time.

With 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3541, there is no need for any drilling, screwing or sewing tools which makes for quick installation.

3M Aluminum Foil Tape 427 is the go-to foil tape for numerous applications across a broad range of industries. Comprised of a dead soft aluminum foil backing with a highly engineered pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive, it is ideal for heat shielding, heat reflecting, chemical masking, light enhancement, chemical milling, seaming, sealing and de-paint operations.

Constructed with an extremely conformable backing, 3M Polyethylene Tape 483 is designed to be used in a wide variety of general purpose applications including sealing, holding, coding, moisture proofing and protecting. This tape is coated with a rubber adhesive that bonds well and removes cleanly from most surfaces. 3M Polyethylene Tape 483 is available in a variety of vivid colors.

3M Vinyl Tape 471 is a versatile tape that provides temporary or long-lasting 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 see-through backing resists abrasion, moisture, and solvents. Conformability, instant adhesion, and clean removal all make transparent 3M Vinyl Tape 471 an exceptional choice for sealing, general-purpose surface protection, and bundling.

3M Membrane Switch Spacer Double Linered 9059MP features 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP, formulated for excellent shear strength, on a 5 mil PET film carrier. Adhesive withstands repeated switch actuation and forms clean edges for precise slitting and die-cutting. Heavy 94# PCK paper liners resist humidity, curling, tunneling and buckling and add stability for improved processing.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape Double Linered 7965MP provides outstanding adhesion to metal and high surface energy plastics. 200MP adhesive delivers excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting. The tape is temporarily repositionable for placement accuracy. It also performs well after exposure to humidity and hot/cold temperatures. Double 58 lb. PCK liners add dimensional stability.

3M Lead Foil Tape 420 is an electrically and thermally conductive tape. This highly conformable tape resists flame, moisture, weather, UV degradation, chemicals and radiation. Mated with an easy-release film liner, this malleable tape can be shaped into complex or detailed patterns or die-cut into specific shapes to meet assembly and manufacturing process needs.
