3M 7000048491 Polyester Tape 8412 Transparent 2in X 72yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048491 is a transparent polyester film tape in the 3M 8412 series, measuring 2 inches wide by 72 yards long with a total thickness of 6.3 mil (0.16 mm). It combines a clear polyester film backing with an acrylic adhesive system, delivering high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and puncture resistance in a single-layer construction. The tape is intended for permanent bonding and reinforcement applications where a durable, dimensionally stable carrier is required. Installation is typically performed by print shop technicians, industrial maintenance workers, and assembly-line operators who need a reliable, long-lasting hold.

This tape is well suited for printing plate mounting, registration hole reinforcement, and permanent edging and reinforcing tasks across a range of industrial and commercial environments. Its puncture-resistant polyester film backing makes it a practical choice wherever mechanical stress or abrasion is a concern. The transparent finish allows markings and registration features beneath the tape to remain visible after application, which is especially useful in press and prepress workflows.

Key Features

• 6.3 mil (0.16 mm) clear polyester film backing for dimensional stability
• Acrylic adhesive provides a strong, permanent bond

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style industrial tape roll for permanent edging, reinforcing, and registration hole reinforcement applications in print, manufacturing, and general industrial environments.

Installation Notes

Clean and dry all surfaces before applying the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply firm, even pressure along the tape length using a hand roller or squeegee to eliminate air pockets. Cutting tools with a clean, sharp blade are recommended to produce precise, straight edges. Follow all applicable workplace safety and material-handling guidelines when using this tape in industrial settings.
