Description
3M™ Extreme Sealing Tape is a family of single coated, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes
designed for difficult sealing applications. The backing on this tape is an ionomer film that is
very tough yet flexible and abrasion resistant. The very soft and thick acrylic adhesive has
excellent sealing properties and good outdoor durability. This single coated tape is designed to
seal over an existing joint, seam, or penetration. The adhesive is designed to adhere well to the
ionomer film so that overlapping tape joints can be made while maintaining a strong seal.

Notes:
1. For metals and paints, 3M™ Adhesion Promoter 111 was used to increase adhesion to maximum levels.
2. For glass, 3M™ Silane Glass Treatment AP115 was used to increase adhesion to maximum levels and
to provide long term durability on glass.
3. For plastics, 3M™ Primer 94 was used to increase adhesion to maximum levels. Note that Primer 94
has high levels of VOC’s and may not be available for purchase in all areas.

Preparing the
Surfae
The first step in making a successful seal is to prepare the surface for bonding. At a
minimum, this means making sure the bonding surface is clean of all contaminants. For
most surfaces, cleaning with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol* (IPA) and water works
well. If the substrate is contaminated with heavy oils or grease, a degreaser or strong
solvent may be used to remove the oil, but a final wipe of IPA/water should be used.
For many substrates, a simple cleaning will allow 3M™ Extreme Sealing Tape to bond.
However, adhesion promoters can be used to increase both initial and final bond strength.
The following three primers are commonly used with 3M™ Extreme Sealing Tapes:
Metals and Paints
3M™ Adhesion Promoter 111 (AP111) increases adhesion on most metals and many hard
coatings and paints.
Plastics and Rubbers
3M™ Primer 94 increases adhesion on many plastics and rubbers.
Glass
3M™ Adhesion Promoter 115 (AP115) increases adhesion on glass.
See technical data sheets for adhesion promoter and primer application instructions.
*Consult
manufacturer’s directions for use and precautions when using cleaning solvents.
This cleaning recommendation may not be compliant with the rules of certain Air Quality
Management Districts in California; consult applicable rules before use.

Application
Temperature
Ideal tape application is accomplished when temperature is between 70° and 100°F
(21° and 38°C). The tape generally reaches full bond strength after 24 hours but
provides a seal immediately. Tape application to surfaces at temperatures below
50°F (10°C) is generally not recommended. Once properly applied, low temperature
holding is generally satisfactory.
Select the Proper
Tape Width
In order to provide a seal, the tape must cover all points of water intrusion. To do this
robustly, the tape should be wide enough to cover the intrusion points and provide for
some variation in workmanship. Choosing a tape width that allows the tape to extend
at least 2 cm (3/4 in) beyond the sealing points can help to accomplish this.
Applying 3M™
Extreme Sealing
Tape
3M™ Extreme Sealing Tape has a release liner on the backing side of the tape.
To avoid overstretching, this liner is usually left on while laying down the tape.
Application Steps
•
•
•
Lay tape down so that it covers all areas meant to be sealed.
Remove release liner (file cleaning brush can help)
Roll down tape with a soft roller (such as a medium nap paint roller). If there is a
step, roll down top and bottom separately.

Creating an
Overlap Joint
It is often required to overlap 3M™ Extreme Sealing Tape onto itself. In this case,
the ionomer backing of the first piece is one of the substrates to which the second
piece of tape is bonding. The tapes should overlap at least 2 cm (3/4 in).
Surface Preparation
The ionomer does not need to be cleaned prior to bonding unless it has been
contaminated with oil, dirt, grease, etc. If the bonding area of the ionomer has been
contaminated, IPA/water can be used to clean the surface.
A quick wipe of AP111 on the ionomer is suggested for best performance of the
overlapping tape. AP111 will approximately double Extreme Sealing Tape’s
adhesion to its own ionomer backing.
Pressure
Firm pressure should be applied to all points of overlap between the two tapes to
join the adhesives and create a robust seal.
Additional Sealing
To increase sealing robustness, a small dab of liquid sealant 3M™ 4000UV is
suggested at the points of overlapping tape. This step maximizes process robustness
by decreasing the chance that an improperly pressurized overlap might leave a gap.
In the above images, the white circles indicate where 3M 4000UV should be applied
in the corner and step situations. These two general categories can describe most
common configurations. For configurations other than these, the general principle is
to use 3M™ 4000UV in any place where water (shown as blue arrows) could seep
past an improperly joined overlap.
Do not apply 3M™ Extreme Sealing Tape over the top of uncured liquid sealants.
If using over a liquid sealant, check with sealant’s manufacturer to determine when
sealant is 100% cured. Certain chemicals produced by the curing process of some
liquid sealants may cause detrimental effects to the long term stability of the bond.
