4104
Single Coated Foam Tape
4104 is a 250 mil. urethane foam tape belonging to the 4100 series which are natural-white, firm, high-density, open-cell foam with pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side. The acrylic adhesive offers high initial quick stick to many types of surfaces along with excellent shear strength and high temperature performance. The adhesive is protected by a 3 mil white silicone treated paper liner. The urethane foam's open cell design offers excellent cushioning characteristics while allowing air or gas vapors to pass through. This product is used primarily for coding, sealing and identification applications. Skip slitting is also used for roll stability on these narrow sizes. This urethane tape may turn yellow when exposed to light, however, this does not effect the physical performance of the tape. 4104 tape adheres to a variety of substrates, including latex painted wood, lacquered wood, enameled steel, glass, aluminum, stainless steel, acrylic, ABS and PVC (non-plasiticized). The tape adhesion is typically satisfactory within 20 minutes and continues to build with additional time. The solvent/fuel resistant test consists of visual observations of tape bonded to steel panels and immersed totally in solvent/fuel for 24 hours.

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.
