Tape 3M 7000116558 Transparent 55mm

3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 950 is a high-strength acrylic adhesive layer coated on a densified kraft paper liner. The product is suitable for thin, high-tack bonding applications and offers good UV and chemical resistance. It bonds a wide range of substrates including high- and low-surface-energy plastics, textured plastics, foams, fabrics and coated papers, and can be used for splicing film, foils and fabrics as well as laminating foams, photos, fabrics, metal or plastic nameplates. The related product listing (3M 7000116558 Transparent 55mm) describes a transparent tape option with a width of 55 mm, length 50 m and total thickness 0.127 mm designed for indoor and outdoor use and capable of operating between -30 °C and 121 °C.

Advantages

The acrylic adhesive provides high initial tack and long-term strength while maintaining resistance to ultraviolet exposure and many chemicals. The densified kraft paper liner supports conversion and handling for splicing and lamination processes. The tape bonds both high and low surface energy materials and performs well on textured surfaces, foams and fabrics.

Suitable for

• Bonding textured plastics, foams and fabrics
• Splicing film, foils and fabrics during conversion
• Laminating nameplates, photos or thin foam sheets
• General-purpose fastening where high initial adhesion is required

How to use

Ensure bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free of oil, dust or other contaminants. Cut the tape to the required length and apply pressure uniformly to promote contact between the adhesive and the substrate. For splicing or laminating, align materials precisely before applying firm, even pressure. Use rollers or a press for larger or continuous applications to ensure consistent adhesion.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best results, apply at room temperature and allow bonded assemblies to stabilize before subjecting them to load or environmental stress. Test adhesion on representative substrates when using on difficult or critical materials.
