  • Best Practices for 3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 950

    *See Terms of Use Below

    1. Surface Preparation

      For maximum bond strength (during installation of the final part) the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical cleaning solvents are heptane (for oily surfaces) or isopropyl alcohol for plastics. Use reagent grade solvents since common household materials like rubbing alcohol frequently contain oils to minimize the drying effect on skin These oils can interfere with the performance of a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

    2. Application

      The ideal adhesive application temperature range is 70°F (21°C) to 100°F (38°C).

      Once properly applied, at the recommended application temperature, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory (please refer to the Typical Physical Properties and Performance Characteristics section).

    3. Curing

      It is necessary to provide pressure during lamination (1.5-20 PLI recommended) and during final part installation (10-15 PLI) to allow to adhesive the come into direct contact with the substrate. Using a hard edged plastic tool, which is the full width of the laminated part, helps to provide the necessary pressure at the point of lamination. Heat can increase bond strength when bonding to metal parts (generally this same increase is observed at room temperature over longer times, weeks). For plastic parts, the bond strength is not enhanced with the addition of heat.
