 Additional Information 



Metalized Backing without the Weight
3M™ Metalized Film Tape 8437 is comprised of a 1 mil polyester backing with a metalized coating on both sides of the film to provide a mirror-like finish with low emissivity. It is coated with a versatile, long lasting acrylic adhesive. This backing provides some of the advantages of a metal tape without the associated weight. A mirror-like finish gives the tape high visibility and maintains its bright appearance for up to 3 months. The tape is mounted on a polyester backing that provides long-term aging, high tear resistance, good Temperature resistance and high strength. The liner allows for large applications and die-cutting of custom shapes, as well as providing additional stiffness for application in narrow gaps.

Recommended Applications

  • Applications where reflectivity and low emissivity are desired
  • Applications requiring a conductive surface
  • Decorating and identification
