3M™ Double Coated Tapes are engineered with adhesive on both sides of paper, film or tissue. This increases the dimensional stability of the adhesive for easy handling and application. Select paper, polyester film or other synthetic carriers to help meet your special needs. Different adhesives—rubber, silicone or acrylic—can be on opposite sides of the carrier to join different materials. Your choice of properties include high temperature resistance, conformability to irregular surfaces, high initial adhesion, high shear strength, and more.
