3M 7000042340 Adhesive Transfer Tape Transparent 2 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000042340 is a transparent, 2 mil acrylic adhesive transfer tape designed for high-performance bonding across a wide range of surfaces and environments. Built with 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 100MP, this transfer tape delivers strong, long-lasting adhesion in a thin, nearly invisible profile. The tape conforms well to irregular surfaces and is resistant to chemicals, UV exposure, and solvents, making it a dependable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is used by fabricators, assembly technicians, and tradespeople who need a fast, reliable bond without bulk.

This tape is suited for light industrial assembly, signage mounting, nameplates, decorative trim, and general bonding tasks where a thin adhesive layer is preferred over foam or mechanical fasteners. The 58-pound unprinted polycoated kraft paper liner provides moisture stability and supports clean, efficient die cutting in production environments. Its short-term heat tolerance and operating temperature range make it appropriate for applications near moderate heat sources.

Key Features

• 2 mil (0.05 mm) transparent transfer tape with no carrier film for a low-profile bond line
• 3M High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 100MP provides strong, durable holding power
• Short-term temperature tolerance up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• Operating temperature tolerance up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C)
• Resistant to chemicals, UV light, and solvents
• 58-pound polycoated kraft paper liner supports moisture stability and die cutting
• Conforms to a wide variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose adhesive transfer bonding applications across indoor and outdoor environments where a thin, transparent acrylic adhesive layer is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for maximum adhesion — clean, dry, and grease-free surfaces are required before application. Remove the liner and apply firm, even pressure across the tape to ensure full contact with the substrate. For die-cut applications, the polycoated liner allows clean cutting without adhesive bleed. Avoid stretching the tape during application, as this may reduce bond strength.
