*3M™ Adhesive 100 is a firm acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive system. It features high ultimate bond strength, very good high temperature
and solvent resistance and very high shear holding power. Bond strength increases substantially with natural aging.
3M™ Adhesive 740 is a medium-firm rubber-resin pressure sensitive adhesive system. It features good holding power and adhesion to a
wide variety of surfaces including many low surface energy plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene.

Double Coated Urethane Foam Tapes
4004 • 4008 • 4016 • 4026 • 4032 • 4052 • 4056 • 4085
Features
• The natural colored urethane foam tape products vary in color from white to light
yellow. The color will change to light yellow upon exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet
radiation). This color change is normal and does not affect tape performance.
• 3M™ Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4026 is available in roll form and die-
cut pieces. Die-cut pieces of 3M tape 4026 is available in 3/4" or 1" squares, either
individual pieces double linered with an extended liner on one side or in pads of 48
squares.
•
3M™ Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4085 combines conformability with
high immediate adhesion to most plastics including ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic,
polyethylene and polypropylene as well as metal and paint. 3M tape 4085 tears
easily which makes it ideal for hand application.
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. Typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol* and water (rubbing
alcohol) or heptane.
• 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.
*Note:
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when
using solvents.
Application Ideas
The urethane foam tapes are generally ideal for interior applications or for exterior
applications where the tape will be protected from the environment. The urethane
foam is open cell.
