*Adhesive System 350 is a firm acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive system. It features very high adhesion to a variety of surfaces, excellent
shear holding power, high temperature resistance and excellent UV resistance.
Adhesive System 400 is a medium-firm acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive system. It features an excellent balance of good initial adhesion
(quick stick) and good shear holding power.
Adhesive System 400 is a medium-firm acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive system. If features high initial adhesion to a wide variety of
materials and good shear holding power.
Adhesive System 300 is a soft acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive system. It f eatures very high initial adhesion and good shear holding power
to a wide variety of materials including most plastics.
Adhesive System 1000 is a low-tack, repositionable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive .

A pplication Techniques Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact
de v eloped. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesi ve contact and
improv e bond strength.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well
unified. Typical surface cleaning solvents are isoprop yl alcohol and w ater (rubbing
alcohol) or heptane. Note: Be sure to follo w the manuf acturer’s 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 adhesi v e becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly
applied, lo w temperature holding is generally satisf actory.

Tape 928 is a low-tack adhesive which allo ws remo val from many papers, foils, and
films without adhesive residue and will not cause delamination of most paper stocks. In
many cases, the tape can be reused numerous times.
Tape 928 will not bleed into most paper stocks which helps minimize possible
discoloration or staining.
Fle xible materials will adhere better to tape 928 than will rigid materials (e.g., paper vs.
cardboard). It may also be necessary to remov e curl from certain materials to avoid
having them pull away from the low-tack adhesive of tape 928 ov er a period of time.
The extended liner (XL) on tape 970XL provides a dry edge on each side of the roll for
adhesi v e protection. Liner extension is 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) on each side which decreases
