3M 38394, Double Coated Tape 469, Red, 1/2 in x 60 yd, 5.5 mil, 7010295390

Easy Handling and Identification
Our 3M™ Double Coated Tape 469 is a 5.5 mil, red tinted tape with a premium double coated tissue carrier. The carrier is mounted on a 72 lb. densified kraft paper liner for ease of deployment and handling. Additionally, this tape features good initial adhesion and will bond to a variety of similar and dissimilar materials including low surface energy plastics and a variety of paper grades and thicknesses. This tape performs well in high temperature applications. 3M double coated tape 469 offers very good heat resistance. In short term intervals it can withstand 350F/180C. For long term applications, this tape will perform in temperatures up to 200F/84C. Results may vary depending on machine and web tensions, nature of paper surface and application pressure. Additionally, 3M™ Double Coated Tape 469 offers excellent UV resistance and high solvent resistance, making it ideal for demanding print applications.

Recommended Applications

• High speed flying splices on most grades of paper
• Splices that require visibility
• Applications which require high temperature drying ovens
• Core starting

High Temperature Adhesion
3M™ Double Coated Tape 469 employs a medium-firm, high tack acrylic adhesive system. This adhesive features high initial adhesion, excellent UV resistance and high solvent resistance. The design of the adhesive combined with the film carrier results in a balance between shear strength, high initial adhesion and temperature performance. The formulation gives the acrylic adhesive a consistently strong bond across a range of temperatures. In short term intervals, it can withstand 350F/180C. For long term applications, this tape will perform in temperatures up to 200F/84C. A thin tissue carrier between the adhesive layers improves the handling and strength of the tape.

What is Double Coated Tape?
In general, double coated tape is composed of a paper, film, or tissue carrier that is coated on both sides with pressure sensitive adhesive. The adhesive is protected by a peel-away liner that can be removed at the time of application or left in place until the joining surfaces are ready to be attached. These tapes can be applied by hand or with a dispenser. Double coated tape dispensers are available in a variety of configurations ranging from manual to fully automatic. Applications for double coated tape are found in web processing, construction, fabrication, arts and hobby industries.
