  • Best Practices for 3M 8805

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      Substrate surfaces should be clean and dry prior to tape application. Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) applied with a lint-free wipe or swab should be adequate for removing surface contamination such as dust or finger prints. Do not use “denatured alcohol” or glass cleaners which often contain oily components. Allow the surface to dry for several minutes before applying the tape. More aggressive solvents (such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or toluene) may be required to remove heavier contamination (grease, machine oils, solder flux, etc.) but should be followed by a final isopropanol wipe as described above.

      Note: Be sure to read and follow the manufacturers’ precautions and directions when using primers and solvents.

    2. Application

      Apply the tape to one substrate at a modest angle with the use of a squeegee, rubber roller or finger pressure to help reduce the potential for air entrapment under the tape during its application. The liner can be removed after positioning the tape onto the first substrate.

      Assemble the part by applying compression to the substrates to ensure a good wetting of the substrate surfaces with the tape. Proper application of pressure (amount of pressure, time applied, temperature applied) will depend upon design of the parts. Rigid substrates are more difficult to bond without air entrapment as most rigid parts are not flat. Use of a thicker tape may result in increased wetting of rigid substrates. Flexible substrates can be bonded to rigid or flexible parts with much less concern about air entrapment because one of the flexible substrates can conform to the other substrate.

      These tapes are tacky pressure sensitive adhesives loaded with thermally conductive ceramic fillers that do not require a heat cure cycle to form an excellent bond to many substrates. Only pressure is needed to form an excellent bond and thermal interface.

    3. Removal

      Rework requires separation of the two substrates. Separation can be accomplished by any practical means: prying, torquing or peeling. The tape will be destroyed upon separation and must be replaced. The surfaces should be recleaned according to the recommendations in this data page.

      Heating up the substrates can reduce the adhesion level and make removal easier.

      Part separation can be aided by immersion in warm water. This should eventually reduce the adhesion and make prying, torquing or peeling apart the substrates easier.
