Professional-grade transparent polyester film tape with aggressive rubber resin adhesive for bonding low surface energy materials like polyethylene. Ideal for splicing, core starting, and reinforcement applications with superior temperature and chemical resistance.
3M™ Super Bond™ Film Tape 396 is a premium single-sided adhesive splicing and core starting tape designed specifically for low surface energy materials such as polyethylene and other difficult-to-adhere-to surfaces. This transparent polyester-backed tape combines the thin caliper tensile strength of polyester with the high immediate holding strength of rubber resin adhesive, making it ideal for creating butt splices and reinforcing applications. The tape features aggressive grab capabilities that ensure quick and reliable adhesion to irregular surfaces, providing immediate holding power for fast and easy application.
The 3M Super Bond Film Tape 396 is engineered with a polyester backing that offers exceptional abrasion, chemical, and thermal resistance, withstanding temperatures from 40°F (4°C) to 200°F (93°C). With an overall thickness of 4.1 mil and dimensions of 3 inches wide by 36 yards long, this roll delivers professional-grade performance for industrial and occupational applications. Each case contains 12 rolls, providing substantial coverage for manufacturing, repair, and reinforcement operations. The rubber resin adhesive provides reliable adhesion strength of 140 oz/in (153 N/100mm), ensuring secure bonding for extended periods.
This tape is commonly used in splicing, sealing, repairing, holding, and reinforcing difficult-to-hold materials, including repairing high-wear areas of rip-stop nylon and holding polyethylene barrel liners in place. The transparent color allows for visibility of underlying materials, making it suitable for applications such as splicing large photographic acetate transparencies and polyester conveyor belts. Meeting ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications, the tape offers an 18-month shelf life from the date of manufacture and is intended for industrial and occupational use only.
