Application

Techniques

Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact

developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and

improve bond strength.

To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well

unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.*

*Note: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for

use when using solvents.

Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial

tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended

because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly

applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory. An exception is 3M™

Repositionable Tapes 9425 and 9425HT which can be applied at temperatures as

low as 32°F (0°C).
