No special liner removal equipment is required. - The complete plastic construction of both tapes provides a hot wire cuttable feature for plastic packaging. * 3MTM Repositionable Tapes 9415PC and 9416 have a low tack adhesive on the back side (exterior of roll) and a high tack ("permanent") adhesive on the face side (interior of roll). This means liner covers the low tack adhesive and the high tack adhesive is exposed when the tape is unwound. - The low tack adhesive side allows for removal from many films, foils, and papers and will not cause delamination from most paper stock. In many cases this side can be reused numerous times. The user should perform specific tests to determine the product's suitability for the particular application. - Flexible materials will adhere better to the low tack adhesive than will rigid materials (e.g. paper vs. cardboard). It may also be necessary to remove curl from certain materials to avoid material separation from the tape over time. - 3MTM Repositionable Tape 928 is identical to 3M tape 9416 for the hand-held ATG applicator. * 3MTM Repositionable Tapes 9425 and 9425HT have a medium tack adhesive on the back side (exterior of roll) and a high tack ("permanent") adhesive on the face side (interior of roll) of the tape. This means liner covers the medium tack adhesive and the high tack adhesive is exposed when the tape is unwound. - The medium-tack adhesive allows removal from many foils and films without adhesive residue. In many cases, the tape can be reused numerous times. The user should perform specific tests to determine the product's suitability for the particular application. - The moisture stable liner improves processing of parts and ease of liner removal. - The polyester film carrier of 3M tape 9425HT provides dimensional stability, improved handling for die cutting and laminating, as well as providing higher temperature resistance. * 3MTM Repositionable Tape 9449S is a single linered low tack laminating adhesive. - The liner is non-siliconized on the back side (adhesive side) which allows for the construction of custom labels that are easier to handle, consistently maintaining registration on-press when printing and converting. - The low tack allows easy removal of labels from substrates with little or no adhesive residue. -3- 3MTM Repositionable Tapes 665 * 666 * 9415PC * 9416 * 9425 * 9425HT * 9449S 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.* *Note: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's precautions and directions for use when using solvents. 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. An exception is 3MTM Repositionable Tapes 9425 and 9425HT which can be applied at temperatures as low as 32F (0C). Application Ideas * * * * * * * * Reclosable bags or envelopes. Core starting and end tabbing of papers, foils, and films. Removable stickers and labels. Point of purchase displays. Book inserts. Mounting promotional items. Removable/changeable advertisements. Temporary hold for protective packaging material, such as foam or cardboard, used during shipment of manufactured goods. * Removable/changeable foam gasketing. Storage Store in original cartons at 70F (21C) and 50% relative humidity. Shelf Life If stored under proper conditions, these products retain their performance and properties for two years from date of manufacture. -4- 3MTM Repositionable Tapes 665 * 666 * 9415PC * 9416 * 9425 * 9425HT * 9449S Technical Information The technical information, recommendations and other statements contained in this document are based upon tests or experience that 3M believes are reliable, but the accuracy or completeness of such information is not guaranteed.
