927 • 950 • 950EK
A pplication Ideas 3M™ tapes 927, 950 and 950EK are ideal for attaching a wide variety of similar and
dissimilar materials where an aggressi v e adhesi v e with high initial adhesion is desired.
Some applications ideas are:
• Splicing of film, foils, f abrics.
• Laminating adhesi v e for foams, photos, f abrics, metal or plastic nameplates.
• General purpose holding and mounting applications.
A pplication Techniques • Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesi v e-to-surf ace contact
de v eloped. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and
improv e bond strength.
• To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and well
unified. Some typical surf ace cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.
Note: Be sure to follo w solv ent manuf acturer’s precautions and directions for use
when using solvents.
• Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21° to 38°C). Initial tape
application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended
because the adhesi v e becomes too firm to adhere readily. Howe ver, once properly
applied, lo w temperature holding is satisf actory.
General Inf ormation • The resistance of these tapes to ultra violet (U.V.) light is fair. Applications where
the adhesi v e mass is directly exposed to sunlight or other sources of U.V. light
through glass, clear plastic, etc. should be avoided. Edge exposure is generally
satisfactory.
• 3M™ Adhesive 300 has relatively good resistance to moderate amounts of
plasticizers. Applications may be subjecti v ely evaluated by the user testing the tape
in contact with the materials at conditions of 150°F (66°C) for a period of 5-7 days.
• Adhesi v e 300 will not bleed into most paper stocks which helps minimize possible
discoloration of posters, business forms.
• 3M™ tapes 927 and 950 meet the requirements of U.S. Government Specif ication
MIL-P-19834B, Amend 1.
A pplication Equipment To apply adhesives in a wide web format, lamination equipment is required to
ensure acceptable quality. To learn more about working with pressure-sensitive
adhesives please refer to technical bulletin, Lamination Techniques for Converters
of Laminating Adhesives (70-0704-1430-8).
