Information Temperature Resistance
3M Magnet Tape retains
its flexibility even in cold
weather. The product
performs well indoors or
out, in hot or cold
climates. Extensive
testing in 3M laboratories
at temperatures ranging
from - 40°C to + 71°C
(- 40°F to + 160°F) has
documented the broad
range of capability of both
the adhesive and the
magnetic holding force.
Clean, Safe Handling
The magnetic side of 3M
Magnet Tape is specially
coated to ensure clean
attachment. This coating
also resists the external
physical conditions that
might otherwise result in
adhesive bonding between
magnet and application
surface. Newly painted
surfaces should be allowed
adequate drying time before
application of magnet tape.
Application
3M Magnet Tape is easily
cut with scissors or a knife.
Adhesive mounting surfaces
should be free of dirt,
grease, oil and solvent.
Following placement, the
magnet tape should be
pressed down firmly with a
roller.
Application Techniques 1. Bond strength is
dependent upon the amount
of adhesive-to-surface
contact developed. Firm
application pressure
develops better adhesive
contact & thus improves
bond strength.
2. To obtain optimum
adhesion, the bonding
surfaces must be clean dry
and well unified. A typical
surface cleaning solvent is
isopropyl alcohol & water.
Use proper safety
precautions for handling
solvents.
3. Ideal tape application
temperature range is 21°C
to 38°C (70°F to 100°F).
Initial tape application to
surfaces at temperatures
below 10°C (50°F) is not
recommended because the
adhesive becomes too firm
to adhere readily. However
once properly applied low
temperature holding is
generally satisfactory.
