3M™ Single-Coated Foam Tapes will adhere to a variety of substrates, including latex-painted wood, lacquered wood, enameled steel, glass, aluminum, stainless steel, acrylic, ABS, and PVC (non-plasticized) as tape adhesion is typically satisfactory within 20 minutes and continues to build with additional time.
FEATURES
- 3M™ Vinyl Foam Tapes Series 4700 are a flexible, black, medium-density, closedcell foam with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. The adhesive is protected by a 0.004 inch (0.1 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner which allows for die cutting without having to laminate another liner to the foam.
- 3M vinyl foam tape series 4500 and 4700 are durable, flexible closed cell vinyls which can help seal out dust, light and moisture when placed under 30% compression. These vinyl tapes offer excellent aging characteristics and will remain flexible when exposed to elevated temperatures and UV light. Application ideas include: dust and moisture seal for appliances, computers, copiers and other electronic and transportation equipment.
APPLICATIONS
- Dust and moisture seal for HVAC, appliances, gasketing, construction and electronic and transportation equipment
