2011/65/EU
"RoHS 2011/65/EU" means that the product or part does not contain any of the
substances in excess of the maximum concentration values (“MCVs”) in EU RoHS
Directive 2011/65/EU. The MCVs are by weight in homogeneous materials. This
information represents 3M's knowledge and belief, which may be based in whole or in
part on information provided by third party suppliers to 3M.
Applications
The X-7001 tape is typically used to bond two surfaces together, both electrically and
physically. An example would be adhering a conductive gasket to another conductive
gasket to a conductive surface as part of the EMI shielding solution for an electronic
enclosure. The unique metallized fabric backing offers the additional benefits of
excellent flexibility and conformability. The fabric backing also minimizes the possibility
of finger lacerations.

Conductivity
Since X-7001 tape double-sided metallized fabric conductive tape would typically be used
as an electrical path between two surfaces, its most important feature is its conductivity.
Conductive particles in the acrylic adhesive provide a multitude of electrical paths
between the application substrate and the surface of the aluminum foil on each side. The
resistance of the conductive path through the adhesive (measured over a 25 x 25 mm
area) typically measures 15-20 milliohms
