WATER ACTIVATED TAPE SYSTEMS

Water Activated Tapes are an easy, economical answer to a wide variety of basic carton sealing challenges. 3M Water Activated Paper Tape 6147, with our 3-way fiber glass reinforcement and high-tack, water activated adhesive, ensures your corrugated boxes stay sealed until ready for opening. For our 3 way fiber glass reinforcing pattern we lace lengthwise threads with a diamond cross-machine pattern. The lengthwise threads are composed of 75 Denier Fiberglass at 33/64″. The spacing ratio is 2-1-1-1-2. We then cross machine threads using 50 Denier Fiberglass to complete the diamond pattern using slightly less than 1-1/4″ spacing between threads. In tandem with the reinforced virgin kraft paper, our high-tack water activated adhesive system holds the tape in place throughout shipping, handling and storage. The tape is 3″ wide, 8.5 mil thick and is available in natural and white colors.

• Moistened adhesive interacts with porous surfaces to form a powerful, secure bond
• Tape forms a tamper-evident seal that shreds if an attempt is made to pull it off before delivery
• Paper construction is easy to handle, making it ideal for hand applications
• Boxes are sealed secure, yet easy to open without cutting tools
• Coreless rolls reduce waste and simplify roll changes

Backed by more than a century of experience, the company’s core product competence ranges from high-performance single-sided tapes to an extensive range of industry- leading double-sided tapes for bonding applications.

By supplying industries such as automotive, electronics, and paper production, tesa proves its ability to fulfill the most demanding customer requirements on a daily basis.

Take a closer look:

• Worldwide availability of thousands of products
• Certified to ISO standards:
• ISO 9001:2008; ISO/TS 16949:2009; ISO 14001:2004

Applications for Tape for the Signage Industry:

• Mounting during the production process
• Mounting during installation
• Masking during spray painting or powder coating
• Protection of sensitive surfaces
• Permanent bonding between stacked or layered materials

Bonding Power
tesa® ACXplus is a powerful bonding technology designed for materials with different surface characteristics. Its acrylic adhesive system secures optimal “wetting” and chemically adapts to the bonded surface. Moreover, the tape thickness can be adjusted to compensate for rough and uneven surfaces. The result is permanent contact and complete sealing of the joined surfaces. This leads to a high strength, long-term bond which will last for decades.

Stress Dissipation

During the life cycle of a component, static and dynamic stresses act upon the constructive bond. In some circumstances, stresses in the bonded joint are caused by different thermal elongations of the respective substrates. Due to the viscoelastic properties of tesa® ACXplus, the ensuing stresses can be optimally dissipated to ensure a secure bond. Extreme temperature changes are tolerated, even for joining substrates with different elongation factors.

Temperature and Weather Resistance tesa® ACXplus provides high resistance to temperatures and different weather conditions. The main reason is the oxidation resistance of the fully saturated carbon chain, which is the foundation of the acrylates used in tesa® ACXplus. Furthermore, the special curing chemistry forms an outstanding temperature-resistant polymer network, resulting in a superior bond that resists temperature, weather, ultraviolet light, and chemical influences.

HIGH STRENGTH FILAMENT TAPES

Natural Rubber Adhesives have long been the preferred choice for metal coil tabbing, splicing and other tape applications involving oily metal surfaces—until now. 3M introduces a portfolio of products utilizing a proprietary breakthrough technology: Modified Synthetic Rubber (MSR) Adhesive. The MSR Adhesive formulation is specifically designed to meet the performance you need in critical metal applications.

Strength and Sustainability Without Compromise:

• Approximately 50% higher adhesion when compared to Natural Rubber (NR) after a dwell time of 2 minutes, with continued performance over longer dwell times
• Shear strength is equal to or better than natural rubber adhesive
• MSR uses a solventless adhesive coating process, making it another 3M innovation that builds on our legacy and commitment to cut VOCs and other air emissions

SCOTCH-WELD HOT MELT BONDING SYSTEM

The quick-stick nature of 3M Hot Melt Adhesives helps you speed up operations like packaging and production. And they stick to almost anything—foams, corrugated cardboard, fabrics, plastics, particle board and light-gauge metals. While hot melts are as strong as mechanical fasteners and sealing tapes, they’re virtually invisible –improving overall aesthetic. 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Adhesives and Applicators are advanced hand-held systems to help you improve productivity, lower cost, and minimize waste.

Adhesives are 100% solids thermoplastic resins that become fluid when heated and quickly wet the bonding surface. They cool, harden, and reach bond strength in seconds. You can move assemblies immediately to keep production flowing. This helps eliminate clamps, fixturing and drying, and saves time, energy, and space.

Each adhesive is designed and precisely manufactured for efficient use in one of the portable 3M Scotch-Weld Hot Melt Applicators. Bond wood, plastic, foam, fabric, cardboard, and more.

VHB PERMANENT ASSEMBLY TAPES

Acrylic VHB foam tape is a specialty bonding tape that is a proven high-strength alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners. While a screw or a rivet can join two substrates at a single point, specialty bonding tape permanently adheres one substrate to another and spreads the stress load across the entire length of the joint. Once substrates are joined with high-strength bonding tape, a virtually indestructible “weld” is created.

Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, marine electronics, architectural windows, recreational vehicles and trailers…all of these rely on specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening and sealing process. The inherent properties of bonding tapes make this wide array of applications possible.

Acrylic foam tape is comprised of closed cell foam with pressure sensitive adhesive on two sides. This unique combination offers benefits that screws, rivets, welds and other types of mechanical fasteners just can’t match: instant shock, stress bonding, absorption distribution,expansion and contraction, Waterproofing, conformability, design flexibility, and smooth, invisible appearance

CARTON SEALING TAPE- SHURTAPE
