Part # 9816M, 3M™ Double Coated Tape

A Balanced and Economical Tape for General-Purpose Industrial Applications
With a nominal thickness of 3.5 mils, our 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9816M is a general-purpose industrial tape that provides an immediate bond to most open cell urethane and closed cell urethane foams. This tape features an aggressive rubber-based adhesive which bonds to polyester, polyester urethane, polyethylene, polystyrene, vinyl foams and most rubbers. It is applied on each side of a white polyester film carrier which adds dimensional stability to foams and other substrates, and provides easier handling. The 74# densified kraft Paper liner adds dimensional strength for effective slitting and rotary die-cutting.

3M™ Double Coated Tape 9816M has been tested for heat resistance from 150ºF/65ºC for short periods, and 120ºF/49ºC long term.

Recommended Applications

• General purpose foam and rubber laminating
• General purpose lamination for fabricated parts
• Metals and high surface energy plastics

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 is removed at the time of application. 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 electronics, automotive, aerospace, general industrial and fabrication markets.
