A pplication 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. Typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol*and water (rubbing
alcohol) or heptane.
• 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 adhesi ve becomes too f irm to adhere readily. However, once properly
applied, lo w temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
*Note: Be sure to follo w the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when
using solvents.
A pplication Ideas The urethane foam tapes are generally ideal for interior applications or for exterior
applications where the tape will be protected from the environment. The urethane
foam is open cell.

Features • The natural colored urethane foam tape products vary in color from white to light
yello w. The color will change to light yellow upon exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet
radiation). This color change is normal and does not af fect tape performance.
• 3M™ Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4026 is av ailable in roll form and die-
cut pieces. Die-cut pieces of 3M tape 4026 is available in 3/4" or 1" squares, either
individual pieces double linered with an extended liner on one side or in pads of 48
squares.
•3M™ Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4085 combines conformability with
high immediate adhesion to most plastics including ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic,
polyethylene and polypropylene as well as metal and paint. 3M tape 4085 tears
easily which makes it ideal for hand application.
