3M™ Double Coated Tapes 9731 and 9731RW have a firm, silicone pressure sensitive adhesive coated on one side of a polyester film carrier and a high performance acrylic adhesive coated on the other side of the carrier. This tape is meticulously engineered with a high-performance acrylic adhesive on one side and a silicone adhesive on the other, bonded together with a flexible, strong 1 mil clear polyester film (PET) carrier. Its design is tailored for applications demanding high reliability, such as gasketing, and is particularly effective in environments requiring the bonding of silicone materials to various substrates.
- Differential Adhesive System: Features a silicone adhesive on the back side for superior attachment to silicone materials, including keypads and parts of printer toner cartridges, and a robust acrylic adhesive on the face side for excellent adhesion to a wide range of other materials.
- High-Performance Applications: The combination of silicone and acrylic adhesives makes this tape exceptionally suitable for high-temperature environments, offering excellent solvent resistance, outstanding holding power, and superior UV resistance.
- Flexible PET Carrier: The 1 mil clear polyester film carrier provides essential dimensional stability and facilitates ease of handling, making it ideal for die cutting and lamination processes.
- Industrial-Grade Liners: Equipped with a 3 mil PET liner and a polycoated kraft paper release liner, this tape delivers reliable performance for industrial applications, while also reducing edge curl and protecting against humidity extremes.
- Versatile Usage: Excellently suited for gasketing, applying filters, and bonding silicone foams and rubber, this tape meets the needs of a broad spectrum of applications where silicone materials must be securely bonded to other substrates.
Usage and Maintenance: For optimal application, surfaces should be clean, dry, and well-prepared before tape application. This ensures the highest level of adhesion and performance across all intended uses. The tape's design allows for precise application and exceptional durability, even in demanding environments. When working with the tape, consider the specific requirements of your application to choose the appropriate adhesive side. Proper storage in a controlled environment is recommended to maintain the tape's adhesive qualities and performance characteristics over time.
