3M™ Splicing Tapes utilize an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive system that offers a balance of initial adhesion and good holding power
FEATURES
- The red color of 3M™ Splicing Tape 9420 may cause some discoloration. The user should evaluate the tape to determine whether it is fit for the user’s particular purpose.
- APPLICATIONS
- Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressurehelps develop better adhesive contact and improve bond strength.
- To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and well unified.
- Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily.
However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory
