Selecting the Right Product for the Job

To help you make sure you find Backing material
theoptimum 3M tape or other Adhesive type
adhesivebacked product for your Application time and temperature
particular application, youll want Surface characteristics (e.g., roughness, surface energy, contours, etc.)
toconsider several factors: End use conditions (e.g., temperature, UV exposure, abrasion, etc.)
The following selection guides integrate those factors to help you narrow your selection to fewer products for a more in-depth evaluation.
3M Backing Materials
In many applications, 3M backings add a second surface that affects how the underlying surface relates to the environment.
To optimize that relationship, 3M backings offer a wide choice of performance and handling characteristics.
Crepe Conformable, easy tear
PAPER Flatback Strong, smooth, good for straight line masking
BACKING Kraft Strong, some versions are repulpable
Tissue Thin, porous to allow adhesive penetration of sheet
Polyester Strong even when thin, chemical resistant, high temperature resistance
Polypropylene Resistant to most solvents, conformable, tear resistant
Polyethylene Conformable, easy to stretch, chemical/acid/moisture resistant, economical
Polyethylene/Polypropylene Co-polymer Conformable, chemical/acid/moisture resistant
UHMW-PE High abrasion resistance, low coefficient of friction, anti-stick surface easy to clean
PLASTIC Polyvinyl Chloride (Vinyl) Conformable, abrasion resistant, resistant to most chemicals
BACKING
Polyimide High temperature resistance, excellent dimensional stability, good chemical resistance
Polyamide (Nylon) High temperature resistance, high strength and toughness, good chemical resistance but can absorb moisture
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Low coefficient of friction, excellent high temperature and chemical resistance, anti-stick/release properties
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Water-soluble, organic solvent resistant, high temperature resistance
Polyurethane Abrasion/scratch resistant, impact/puncture resistant, UV and corrosion resistant
Polyvinyl Fluoride Excellent weather resistance, excellent long-term UV resistance, thin yet stiff feel
Cotton Strong, easy tear by hand, soft and drapable

CLOTH
BACKING Glass Cloth Strong, high temperature resistance, flame-resistant
Vinyl Coated Strong yet hand tearable, abrasion resistant, water-resistant, conformable
NON-
WOVEN Fiber Air permeable, strong enough to hold expanding foams
BACKING
Aluminum Heat and light reflective, moisture and chemical resistant, flame-resistant, outdoor weather resistant, conformable
METAL Copper EMI/RFI shielding

BACKING Lead Electrically conductive, acid resistant, high conformability, x-ray opacity
Stainless Steel Corrosion resistant
RUBBER
Neoprene Abrasion resistant, die-cuttable
BACKING
Paper/Polyethylene Weather and chemical resistant, hand tearable, stretch resistant

Metalized/Polyester Reflective, decorative
COMBINATION Glass Cloth/PTFE High temperature resistance, high strength

(LAMINATES)
Glass Cloth/Aluminum Very high temperature resistance, high strength
BACKING
Non-Woven/Aluminum High heat and cold resistance
Polyethylene Over Cloth Strong yet hand tearable, abrasion resistant, water resistant and conformable.

3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Most of the products in this guide feature a 3M pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds the backing to another surface on contact.
Each adhesive has different characteristics that affect production and end use performance.

Removable Permanent Various Removable
Good solvent resistance Excellent solvent resistance Good solvent resistance Excellent solvent resistance
*Surface energy ranges from high to low. To illustrate the concept of surface energy, think of water on the unwaxed hood of a car. The unwaxed hood has high surface energy and
water on the hood flows into puddles. In comparison, a waxed hood has low surface energy and the water beads up rather than flows out. Similar to water, adhesive on a high surface
energy surface flows and wets out the surface. Wetting out is required to form a strong bond.
A s a rule of thumb, the higher the surface energy, the greater the strength of adhesion. Specially formulated adhesives are available for low surface energy surfaces.
Regardless of surface energy, the substrate must be unified, dry, and clean to maximize adhesive contact.
The following illustrations and surface rankings give you an idea of relative surface energy.

Surface Protection
Protection where
you need it.
Innovative 3M tapes and films can protect surfaces by
resisting abrasion, UV, heat and punctures. Our surface
protection products adhere and conform to numerous
surfaces for maximum protection, and then remove
easily. When your products need protection, you can
trust 3M for practical solutions.
3M Clean-View Pads
Reliable Protection Against Paint Overspray
This clear multi-sheeted adhesive system protects paint booth
windows and light fixtures from overspray. You reduce the labor
expense, downtime, and amount of chemicals used for cleanup.
Clear polyethylene keeps paint out and lets light through to
help brighten the work area
Individually tabbed sheets for easy removal from the pad
Eliminates re-application of single layer protection films

3M Gripping Materials
Increase Friction and Reduce Slippage in Dry, Wet
and Oily Conditions
When getting a grip is a performance requirement, strengthen
your competitive advantage with 3M Gripping Material products.
This 3M innovation utilizes 3M patented micro-replication
technology to add thousands of micro gripping fingers on one
side of a flexible backing to enhance control and improve gripping
performance. Customers will see a noticeable increase in holding 99
power, while using less force. Ultimately this can lead to enhanced
performance and decreased fatigue.
Adhesives-backed versions stick on contact to many metals,
plastics and sealed woods for a fast, easy increase in traction for
applications such as fishing rods, ATV handlebars and forklift
steering wheels.
Plain-backed versions offer some stretch and are designed for
sew-on applications such as sports gloves or work gloves, where
improved grip is a performance advantage.
Molded grips can be custom designed and manufactured for
different high volume applications.
Performance Features:
Increases friction to reduce slippage even in wet or oily conditions 100
Immediate release when the hand lets go The unique micro-replicated surface structure of 3M Gripping Materials is
Abrasion and puncture resistant engineered to provide different levels of friction, and when mated, create
unmatched holding power, even in wet and oily environments.

For when you need

to splice it up.
We offer a wide range of repulpable and non-repulpable
tapes for every kind of splice so you can continue your
production pace at full speed. Our products are designed
to provide dependable splices. From temporary to
permanent adhesion needs, our tape experts can help
you select the best tape for your demanding application.
3M Splicing and Repulpable Tapes

Tapes for Paper Mills, Printers,
Converters and Newspapers
From core starting to roll closing/tabbing
and all the splices in-between, this totally
repulpable line offers choices for the
dependability you need to keep production
at full speed. Backings and adhesives are
engineered for optimum strength on every
type of splice: flying, overlap, butt and
general purpose.
