    Business Information
    Shelf Life Details It is best to use the rolls as soon as possible after receipt. Ideally, rolls should be laminated to the intended substrates as soon after receipt as possible. Store in original cartons at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. When storing rolls, lay them flat in a horizontal position with release treated wafers between the rolls.;If stored under proper conditions, product retains its performance and properties for two years from date of manufacture.

  • Best Practices for 3M 9786

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.*Note: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when working with solvents. These cleaning recommendations may not be compliant with the rules of certain Air Quality Management Districts in California, consult applicable rules before use.

    2. Application

      Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure and moderate heat, from 100°F (38°C) to 130°F (54°C), will assist the adhesive in developing intimate contact with the bonding surface.

      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.
