3M™Adh esive Transfer Tape with 3M Adhesiv e 400
463 • 465 • 9457 • 9665
Application
Techniques • Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed.
Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and improve bond strength.
• To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and well unified.
Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.*
*Be sure to follow manufacturer’s safety precautions and directions for use when using solvents.
• 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. Ho wever, once properly applied, low
temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
Features • Tapes meet the requirements of U.S. Government specification MIL-P-19834B, Type I.
• 3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 463 is designed for use with 3M automatic dispensing
equipment.
• 3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 465 is designed for use with easy liner release for manual
or hand application.
• 3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 9457 is designed for use with sub-surface graphics printing
on polyester films and custom tamper-indicating labels.
• 3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 9665 is the same as 3M tape 465 but has a thicker liner for
moisture stability with kiss-cutting applications.
A pplication Ideas • High-speed flying splices on most grades
of paper.
• Splicing of foils, films, fabrics.
• Laminating adhesiv e for foams, photos.
• Attaching metal or plastic nameplates.
• Mounting promotional items, posters.
• Core starting.
