This tape has a clear polyester film carrier, making it virtually invisible when applied. It also features different adhesives on each side for easy bonding to varied surfaces.
-
How strong is this tape?
The tape uses high performance acrylic adhesive and can hold up to 13 pounds per inch of width, providing a reliable hold for many applications.
-
Can this tape be used outdoors or in extreme environments?
Yes! It performs well in temperatures ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 180°F/82°C, and as such it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
-
Are there different sizes available or just the one size listed?
This double coated tape comes at the size mentioned (72 mm x 55 m), but we offer other tapes with varying sizes that may better suit your needs. Get in touch with us so we can determine which product would work best for you!
The 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9740 is a robust tape that offers a wide range of benefits. The tape has a 55 lb. densified kraft paper liner that improves handling, protects against humidity, and is ideal for die-cutting, automated dispensers, and laminating applications. This double coated tape is considered a razor-thin alternative to glue, screws, and rivets, and is often used for foam and gasket attachment in general industrial applications.
Recommended Applications- Attachment to irregular surfaces
- Bonding to plastics and metal extrusions
- Applications where adhesion to low surface energy substrates is needed
- Bonding of decorative trim
- High speed flying splices where heat resistance is required
The 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9740 has an acrylic adhesive that offers high adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including most low surface energy plastics. The adhesive allows for superior bonding and conformability to irregular and flat surfaces. A thin polyester carrier between the adhesive layers improves the handling and strength of the tape.
Excellent Temperature ResistanceThe 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9740 offers an excellent continuous temperature resistance range from 10°F to 425°F (-12°C to 219°C). The 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 because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
A Solution for Many Bonding ApplicationsDouble 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 can be removed at the time of application or left in place until the joining surfaces are ready to be attached. 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 splicing, construction, fabrication, arts, and hobby.
