***Discontinued*** Double Coated Paper Tape

General Information

DISCONTINUED, REPLACED WITH 401B A 9.0mil. double coated rubber tape with 860 paper adhesive ideal for bonding a wide variety of similar and dissimilar materials such as rubbers, metals, woods, glass, papers, paints and many plastics. This tape has also been recognized by the Technical Association for Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) for many years. Paper mills continue to utilize this tape for testing the internal strength (Z-Directional Tensile Test) of thier papers. Product 401 is not recommended for direct exposure to sunlight or other sources of ultra violet light. 860 is a soft rubber adhesive system which offers high peel adhesion and excellent quick stick to many types of surfaces. This tape is also 9.0 mils. thick with the paper carrier being specially treated to enhance the clean removability characteristics. Parts can be joined before the milling, buffing and polishing process and then later removed cleanly. The extra thickness of this tape plays a key role in bonding rigid materials together that need additional gap filling abilities.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.

It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.

Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.

Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
