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.

APLICATIONS

• Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact. Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact and helps improve bond strength.
• To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surface must be clean, dry, and well Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol and heptane.
• 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.
