Printed and Unprinted Antistatic Utility Tape
A 2.2 mil. anti-static utility tape consisting of transparent polyester film backing and acrylic adhesive primarily used for office and clean room applications. 40 tape represents a breakthrough in PSA tape technology. This new tape, generates less than 50volts on unwind and removal from stainless steel and helps prevent ESD damage to sensitive electronic components in manufacturing environments. This anti-static utility tape can be used at static-safeguard workstations as part of the total static control program. It generates very low levels of static charge, even in dry conditions of 10%R.H. 40 tape is printed on the adhesive side with the 3M logo and the ESD protective symbol.

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.
