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 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.

Scotch Box Sealing Tape 371 is an industrial grade packing tape that securely closes a wide variety of medium weight box materials. The polypropylene film backing is easy to unwind and resists abrasion, moisture and scuffing. The backing easily conforms around edges and on rough surfaces for a tight seal.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3540 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 SJ3540 has exceptional strength through its interlocking mushroom-shaped heads (250 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 SJ3540, there is no need for any drilling, screwing or sewing tools which makes for quick installation.

3M Loop Fastener SJ3531 is one part of a two-part fastener solution designed to provide great durability for thousands of closures. With its high tack rubber-based pressure sensitive adhesive backing, this fastener allows for easy and convenient attachment to a variety of substrates, including plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene.

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 Aluminum Foil Tape 425 is the go-to foil tape for numerous applications across a broad range of industries. Comprised of a dead soft aluminum foil backing and coated 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.

3M Venture Tape Double Coated PE Foam Glazing Tape VG716 is 1/16″ thick closed cell, crosslinked polyethylene foam tape coated with rubber based adhesive on one side and acrylic based adhesive on the other (liner side) with a 4 mil blue poly easy release liner.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9672 features high strength 3M Adhesive 300, which provides an excellent bond to a range of textured or smooth HSE and LSE materials. This 5.0 mil adhesive is applied to a 6.2 mil polycoated kraft paper liner, making the transfer tape ideal for applications requiring a thin caliper and high tack. The 83-lb. liner provides excellent handling and lay-flat properties.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9459W features high strength 3M Adhesive 300, which provides a very high initial tack and an excellent bond to a range of materials including many coated papers and foams. The 1.5 mil white adhesive increases opacity, excellent for sub-surface graphics printed labels. It is applied to a 55# DK paper liner which adds dimensional stability.

Scotch Filament Tape 8916V is a reliable solution for holding parts and consumer goods throughout the manufacture and shipping timeline. Constructed with a filament-reinforced polypropylene backing, this tape resists abrasion, moisture, scuff and break, even after being nicked or punctured. Its multi-layer synthetic-rubber adhesive offers high adhesion, stain resistance, and clean removal on materials commonly used in packaging, such as corrugated cardboard, fiberboard, plastic, and metal. Between its sturdy reinforced construction, user-friendly adhesive, and versatile shipment preparation capabilities, Scotch Filament Tape 8916V is the ideal tape for most temporary holding and attachment applications.
