High-performance transparent polyester-backed splicing tape with aggressive rubber resin adhesive for low surface energy materials. Ideal for butt splicing, core starting, and reinforcement on polyethylene and difficult-to-adhere surfaces.
3M™ Super Bond™ Film Tape 396 is a high-performance single-sided adhesive splicing and core starting tape engineered for demanding industrial applications. 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 on low surface energy materials such as polyethylene and other difficult-to-adhere-to surfaces. The tape delivers aggressive grab and quick adhesion for immediate bonding without requiring pressure or curing time.
The polyester backing provides exceptional abrasion, chemical, and thermal resistance, withstanding temperatures from 40°F to 200°F while maintaining its holding power. With 140% elongation at break and 43 lb/in tensile strength, this tape offers superior durability for high-wear applications. The rubber resin adhesive provides 140 oz/in adhesion strength, ensuring reliable performance on challenging substrates. Commonly used in butt splicing, core starting, and reinforcement applications across multiple industries including automotive, aerospace, printing, and specialty vehicles.
Each case contains 8 rolls of 36-yard length tape, with each roll measuring 4 inches wide and 4.1 mils thick. The product meets ASTM D3330, ASTM D3652, and ASTM D3759 specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards. With an 18-month shelf life from the date of manufacture, this tape is suitable for long-term storage. The transparent color allows for visibility through the tape, making it ideal for applications where monitoring the underlying surface is important.
