Product Description
3M™ Single-Coated Foam Tapes will adhere to a variety of substrates, including
latex-painted wood, lacquered wood, enameled steel, glass, aluminum, stainless steel,
acrylic, ABS, and PVC (non-plasticized) as tape adhesion is typically satisfactory
within 20 minutes and continues to build with additional time.

Product Features
3M™ Urethane Foam Tapes Series 4100 are a 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 0.003 inch
(0.08 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner and has a firm rigid open cell
urethane that offers excellent cushioning characteristics while allowing air or gas
vapors to pass through the open cells. This product is placed on a 1.5 in. wide common
core when the tape is 3/4 in. or less in width. Skip slitting is also used for roll stability
on these narrow sizes.
Note:
3M urethane foam tape series 4100 may turn yellow
when exposed to light. Such yellowing affects only the appearance and not the physical
performance of the tapes.
3M™ Urethane Foam Tapes Series 4300 are a conformable, grey, low-density, open-
cell foam with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. The adhesive is
protected by a 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick tan, silicone treated paper liner and has a
very soft, conformable low density foam which can help seal out air, dust and light
when compressed 50%. Application ideas include: recessed lighting, door, window
and cabinet seals. It also can be used to help cushion, damp sound and absorb
vibration in electronics such as printers, keyboards, computers, aircraft lights and
automotive dash boards. This tape is available on individual cores and in blocks of
1.5 inches when the tape is 3/4 inch or less in width.
Note:
Extra care should be taken
when handling these delicate rolls of tape to avoid damaging tape.
3M™ Vinyl Foam Tapes Series 4500 are a flexible, black, high-density, closed-cell
foam with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. A 0.003 inch (0.08 mm)
thick white, silicone treated paper liner is applied to the non-adhesive side of the foam
so that the PVC can be cut to length and applied while leaving the liner in place.
3M™ Vinyl Foam Tapes Series 4700 are a flexible, black, medium-density, closed-
cell foam with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. The adhesive is
protected by a 0.004 inch (0.1 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner which
allows for die cutting without having to laminate another liner to the foam.
3M vinyl foam tape series 4500 and 4700 are durable, flexible closed cell vinyls
which can help seal out dust, light and moisture when placed under 30%
compression. These vinyl tapes offer excellent aging characteristics and will remain
flexible when exposed to elevated temperatures and UV light. Application ideas
include: dust and moisture seal for appliances, computers, copiers and other
electronic and transportation equipment.
