PRODUCT FAQ
-
What type of surfaces can the 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9731 be used on?
The 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9731 is versatile and can be used on a variety of surfaces including metals, plastics, and papers.
-
How durable is the tape?
The 3M™ Double Coated Tape 9731 has a thickness of 5.5 mil making it strong and durable for various applications.
-
Can this tape be easily removed without leaving residue behind?
Yes, the adhesive on the tape is designed to provide secure bonding while allowing for clean removal without leaving any residue behind.
Combining a silicone-based adhesive and a rubber-based adhesive on a flexible, strong 1 mil clear polyester film (PET) carrier, 3M Double Coated Tape 9731 is an excellent choice for gasketing and other specialized applications involving silicone parts. The silicone adhesive provides a strong bond to silicone rubber and various silicone surfaces, while the rubber adhesive offers excellent holding power. The face side of the tape features 3M Adhesive 350, an acrylic adhesive known for its high adhesion to a wide variety of materials. This combination of adhesives allows the tape to perform effectively across a range of applications, including high temperature environments, good solvent resistance, strong holding power, and excellent UV resistance.
The thin polyester carrier provides dimensional stability and improved handling, making it easy to die cut and laminate. The 3 mil PET liner and the polycoated kraft paper release liner offer reliable performance for industrial applications, such as die-cutting and automated dispensers. These liners also help reduce edge curl and protect the tape from humidity extremes.
Recommended Applications- Gasketing
- Filters
- Silicone foams and rubber
Unique Solutions
For gasketing applications, 3M Double Coated Tape 9731 can be pre-applied to gasketing material, which is then die-cut to provide parts. This tape offers instant adhesion, ensuring processes can move forward smoothly. It is ideal for attaching preformed gaskets, replacing gaskets, or bonding and sealing simultaneously. Some examples of its applications include air and liquid filters, fluid handling equipment, and heat exchangers. When you need gaskets that are easy and quick to apply, resist fluids, and provide high adhesion to foams and various silicone surfaces, turn to 3M Double Coated Tape 9731.
What is Double Coated Tape
In general, double coated tape consists of a carrier made of paper, film, or tissue 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 various configurations, ranging from manual to fully automatic. Double coated tape finds applications in electronics, automotive, aerospace, general industrial, and fabrication markets.
