3M 7000048530 Adhesive Transfer Tape 1 in 60 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048530 is an adhesive transfer tape carrying a 5 mil medium-firm acrylic adhesive on a polycoated paper liner. Sold in a 1-inch-wide, 60-yard roll, it bonds to high surface energy (HSE) plastics and resists plasticizer migration in flexible vinyls. The acrylic adhesive construction provides strong UV resistance, helping maintain adhesive integrity over extended exposure to sunlight. It also offers reliable humidity and temperature resistance, making it suitable for demanding bonding applications in fabrication, assembly, and sign-making environments.

This tape is used in applications where a clean, liner-free adhesive layer is required between two substrates. Typical uses include bonding nameplates, graphics, and flexible vinyl materials where plasticizer migration would otherwise degrade a standard adhesive. It is well suited for light industrial assembly, signage production, and display fabrication work handled by trade professionals and skilled fabricators.

Key Features

• 5 mil medium-firm acrylic adhesive on a polycoated paper liner
• Bonds effectively to high surface energy (HSE) plastics
• Resists plasticizer migration in flexible vinyls to prevent adhesive staining and degradation
• Excellent UV resistance for extended adhesive longevity in sun-exposed applications
• Good humidity and temperature resistance for durable long-term bonds
• Transparent adhesive layer for clean, invisible bonding results

Compatibility

Designed for bonding high surface energy plastics and flexible vinyl substrates in light industrial assembly, signage, and display fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying transfer tape — clean substrates thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the full bond area using a roller or squeegee to ensure full adhesive contact. Remove the polycoated paper liner carefully and avoid touching the exposed adhesive to prevent contamination. Once bonded, repositioning is not recommended as the acrylic adhesive forms a strong permanent bond.
