3M™ Splicing Tape 9576

3M™ Splicing Tapes offer excellent flying splice and core starting wet grab characteristics. They are typically used in the printing industry and perform well at process speeds in excess of 2000 feet per minute and can be used through ovens up to 450°F (232°C) if dwell times are ten seconds or less.
FEATURES
Medium tack double coated tape for roll-to-roll splicing, core starting and roll closing
Excellent peel and shear strength to withstand rigorous splicing applications
Bonds well to most substrates, including low surface energy plastics
Excellent UV and heat resistance
Conformable to irregular surfaces
Double sided adhesion increases dimensional stability for easy handling
APPLICATIONS
Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and improves bond strength.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.
Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
