3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape with 300LSE Adhesive 9453FL • 9471FL • 9472FL

• 3M™ High-Strength Acrylic Adhesive 300LSE provides very high bond strength to most surfaces.
• Excellent bond to low surface energy plastics such as polypropylene and powder coatings.
• Excellent adhesion to lightly oiled surfaces typical of machine parts.
• Thicknesses of 2 mils, 3.5 mils and 5 mils for use on smooth, and textured surfaces.
• Extremely smooth adhesive for excellent graphics appearance.
• Polyester film liner is ideal for rotary die-cutting, high speed processing, automatic dispensing and clean room environments.
• Polyester film liner resists breakage for one piece liner removal.
• Polyester film liner resists curling or wrinkling in high humidity.

Bond Build-up: The bond strength of 3M™ High-Strength Acrylic Adhesive 300LSE increases as a function of time and temperature, and has very high initial adhesion.

Humidity Resistance: High humidity has minimal effect on adhesive performance. No significant reduction in bond strength is observed after exposure for 7 days at 90°F (32°C) and 90% relative humidity.

U.V. Resistance: When properly applied, adhesive bond is not adversely affected by exposure.

Water Resistance: Immersion in water has no appreciable effect on the bond strength. After 100 hours at room temperature, the high bond strength is maintained.

Temperature Cycling Resistance: High bond strength is maintained after cycling four times through the following conditions:
4 hours at 158°F (70°C)
4 hours at -20°F (-29°C)
4 hours at 73°F (22°C)

Chemical Resistance: When properly applied, adhesive bond will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including oil, mild acids and alkalis.

Temperature Resistance: 3M high-strength acrylic adhesive 300LSE is usable for short periods (minutes, hours) at room temperatures up to 300°F (148°C) and for intermittent longer periods of time (days, weeks) up to 200°F (93°C).

Lower Service Temperature Limit: -40°F (-40°C).

Shelf Life: Product retains its performance and properties for two years from date of manufacture if properly stored at room temperature conditions of 72°F (22°C) and 50% relative humidity. Storage in plastic bag is recommended.

For maximum bond strength, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical cleaning solvents are heptane or isopropyl alcohol. Carefully read and follow manufacturer's precautions and directions for use when using cleaning solvents. This cleaning recommendation may not be compliant with the rules of certain Air Quality Management Districts in California; consult applicable rules before use.

Bond strength can also be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heat, from 100°F (38°C) to 130°F (54°C), causing the adhesive to develop improved contact with the bonding surface.

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 for most pressure-sensitive adhesives because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.

Processing:
Slitting and die-cutting: This adhesive is very aggressive and may be difficult to convert depending on your application requirements. Chilling the adhesive between 35 and 50°F will improve the processability. In addition, dies can be lubricated with Laminoleum evaporative stamping oil, which is available from Metal Lubricants Company (708-333-8900) or with Lubri-Blade 907 from Ceramic Technologies Inc. (800-258-8495). You may also refer to our Guide to Coverting 3M Laminating Adhesive 300LSE Technical Bulletin.

Roll Laminating: A combination of metal and rubber rollers with moderate pressure (approx. 14 psi) is recommended.

Note: Please refer to the 3M Slitting/Die-Cutting Technical Bulletin for futher details.

• Nameplates and graphic overlays printed and die-cut by rotary processing techniques.
• Labels engineered for performance with protected graphics for environmental durability (e.g., automotive under hood labels).
