For engineers who have to use adhesive properties for modeling and analysis purpose, we suggest a Young's modulus of 4.5 x 102 kPA (measured at 23C & 1 Hz) and a Poisson's ratio of 0.499. For detailed adhesive modulus and damping properties, please refer to the nomograph for 3MTM VHBTM Adhesive Transfer Tapes, which is available upon request through our technical service group. The nomograph presents adhesive modulus and damping properties as functions of temperature and frequency. Typical Physical Properties and Performance Characteristics Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only, and should not be used for specification purposes. These 3MTM VHBTM Adhesive Transfer Tapes are made from the same adhesive system and are thermoplastic in nature, becoming softer as temperature increases and firmer as temperature decreases. As the adhesive becomes firmer, the adhesion performance generally increases. At low temperatures (lower than -40F [-40C]), the 3MTM VHBTM Adhesive Transfer Tapes become very firm and glassy; the ability to absorb impact energy is reduced. In contrast, adhesion strength reduces with increasing temperatures. Typical adhesive strength properties at room temperatures are shown below.

Solvent Resistance (3 splash testing cycles: 20 seconds submersion, & 20 seconds air dry.) No apparent degradation when exposed to splash testing of many common solvents and fluids including gasoline, JP-4 fuel, mineral spirits, motor oil, ammonia cleaner, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone. UV Resistance Excellent UV resistance through outdoor weathering tests and weatherO-meter tests. -2- 3MTM VHBTM Adhesive Transfer Tapes with Adhesive 100MP F9460PC * F9469PC * F9473PC UL 746C Listings (File MH 17478) and Durability Testing 3MTM Adhesive 100MP has UL 746C listings with different temperature ratings on many commonly used substrate materials as indicated in the table below. Qualification for this listing requires high strength retention after extended exposure to high temperatures, humidity, cold, and cyclic conditions. Substrates Temperature Rating Stainless Steel, Glass/Epoxy, Enameled Steel, Ceramic, Phenolic; Nickel Plated Steel (3MTM Adhesive Transfer Tape F9469PC only) 110C ABS, Polycarbonate, Aluminum, Galvanized Steel 90C Unplasticized PVC 75C Our testing has shown that 3MTM Adhesive 100MP yielded 92% retention of peel adhesion after the roll was aged for more than 5 years at an elevated temperature of 150F (65C). The initial tack and liner release properties were still excellent. This testing result suggests that the tape is relatively unaffected by long-term exposure to elevated temperatures. Bonds made with 3MTM Adhesive 100MP can tolerate periodic short-term exposures to temperatures up to 500F (260C). 3MTM Adhesive 100MP is thermoplastic Figure 1. T-Peel Performance vs. Temperature (3MTM VHBTM Adhesive Transfer Tape F9473PC on Aluminum) in nature, becoming softer as temperature increases and firmer as temperature decreases. As the adhesive becomes firmer, the performance generally increases. This performance increase is demonstrated graphically in Figure 1 for 3MTM VHBTM Adhesive Transfer Tape F9473PC. It shows the breakaway and peel forces as a function of temperature. The exception of the performance Temperature F increase is at very low temperatures when high impact stresses along with high frequencies are encountered. At low temperatures, the tape becomes very firm and glassy; the ability to absorb impact energy is reduced. 100 90 Break Away 80 Force (lbs./inch width) Peel 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 -65 Weight Loss and Outgassing Performance -20 0 20 70 Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only, and should not be used for specification purposes.

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/water mixture or heptane.* Ideal tape application temperature range is 70F to 100F (21C to 38C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50F (10C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory. *Note: Be sure to follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use when using solvents.
