3M 7000048390 Polyester Film Tape 6.3 Mil 1in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048390 is a transparent polyester film tape with an acrylic adhesive backing, designed for permanent bonding, edging, and reinforcing applications across industrial and commercial environments. The tape features a 6.3 mil (0.16 mm) polyester film construction that delivers excellent tensile strength and abrasion resistance. It comes in a 1 inch by 72 yard roll format, making it suitable for extended runs on production lines and shop floor use. Installation is handled by production technicians, print shop operators, and industrial maintenance personnel who require a durable, optically clear tape for precision applications.

This tape is well suited for printing plate mounting, registration hole reinforcement, and applications where puncture resistance is a priority. The transparent film allows alignment marks and reference lines to remain visible through the tape, which is valuable in press and graphics workflows. It also performs in general edging and reinforcing tasks where a permanent, high-strength bond is needed on flat or low-contour surfaces. The acrylic adhesive provides long-term adhesion stability under normal indoor industrial conditions.

Key Features

• 6.3 mil polyester film construction for high tensile strength and abrasion resistance
• Acrylic adhesive backing for permanent, stable bonding
• Transparent film maintains visibility of alignment marks and reference points
• Puncture-resistant construction for demanding edging and reinforcing tasks
• 1 inch x 72 yard roll format suitable for production and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial tape for use in printing plate mounting, registration hole reinforcement, and general edging or reinforcing applications on flat surfaces in production environments.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying this tape — clean and dry the substrate thoroughly to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape length using a roller or squeegee to eliminate air pockets and maximize bond strength. For permanent applications, avoid repositioning once the tape has been pressed down, as the acrylic adhesive is intended for long-term bonding. Wear appropriate hand protection when working with tape on sharp-edged materials or during high-volume production runs.
