3M™ Single-Coated Foam Tapes 4100 • 4300 • 4500 • 4700 Series

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.

3M™ Urethane Foam Tapes Series 4100 are a natural-white, firm, high-density, open-cell foam with pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side. The acrylic adhesive offers high initial quick stick to many types of surfaces along with excellent shear strength and high temperature performance. The adhesive is protected by a 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner and has a firm rigid open cell urethane that offers excellent cushioning characteristics while allowing air or gas vapors to pass through the open cells. This product is placed on a 1.5 in. wide common core when the tape is 3/4 in. or less in width. Skip slitting is also used for roll stability on these narrow sizes. Note: 3M urethane foam tape series 4100 may turn yellow when exposed to light. Such yellowing affects only the appearance and not the physical performance of the tapes.

3M™ Urethane Foam Tapes Series 4300 are a conformable, grey, low-density, opencell foam with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. The adhesive is protected by a 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick tan, silicone treated paper liner and has a very soft, conformable low density foam which can help seal out air, dust and light when compressed 50%. Application ideas include: recessed lighting, door, window and cabinet seals. It also can be used to help cushion, damp sound and absorb vibration in electronics such as printers, keyboards, computers, aircraft lights and automotive dash boards. This tape is available on individual cores and in blocks of 1.5 inches when the tape is 3/4 inch or less in width. Note: Extra care should be taken when handling these delicate rolls of tape to avoid damaging tape.

3M™ Vinyl Foam Tapes Series 4500 are a flexible, black, high-density, closed-cell foam with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. A 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner is applied to the non-adhesive side of the foam so that the PVC can be cut to length and applied while leaving the liner in place.

3M™ Vinyl Foam Tapes Series 4700 are a flexible, black, medium-density, closed-cell 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.

• 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 unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol and heptane.*
  *Be sure to follow the solvent manufacturer's precautions and directions for use when handling solvents.
• 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.

Store in the original cartons at 60-80°F (15-27°C) and 50% relative humidity.
