3M 7000042757 Double Coated Tape 0.75 in 36 Yd 4 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000042757 is a double coated transparent tape designed to deliver high initial adhesion combined with reliable holding power across a wide range of substrates. At 4 mil total thickness, it uses a densified kraft paper liner to maintain dimensional stability and ease of handling during high-speed production work. The tape measures 0.75 inches wide and runs 36 yards per roll, making it well suited for continuous-use environments where consistent splice performance matters. It is primarily installed or specified by press operators, bindery technicians, and print production professionals working in commercial printing facilities.

This tape is built for printing and converting applications where both zero-speed and flying splices are required. Its high tack formulation promotes strong adhesion to most paper stocks, including low and high surface energy substrates. The tape also performs reliably under UV exposure, moderate heat, and variable humidity conditions, extending its usefulness across different press environments and production schedules.

Key Features

• High initial tack with strong adhesion to most paper stocks and mixed-surface-energy substrates
• Double-sided adhesion increases dimensional stability for consistent handling during print splicing
• Supports both zero-speed and flying splice operations
• Densified kraft paper liner promotes clean unwind and easy handling
• Excellent UV resistance and good humidity resistance for varied production environments
• Transparent construction for low-visibility splices

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose double coated tape for printing and paper-converting applications where high tack and reliable splice performance are required on paper-based substrates.

Installation Notes

This tape is typically applied by press operators or bindery technicians during web-fed or sheet-fed printing operations. Surfaces should be clean and dry before application to ensure full adhesive contact. For flying splice applications, follow press manufacturer guidelines for splice preparation and overlap geometry. Avoid exposing the tape roll to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight before use, as this can affect adhesive performance.
