3M 7000048645 Double Coated Tape 12 in 36 Yd Roll

Product Description

The 3M 7000048645 is a 5 mil double coated tape built around a 1.0 mil clear polyester (PET) carrier film and a high-performance acrylic adhesive on both sides. It is designed for bonding to low surface energy (LSE) substrates, powder-coated surfaces, and other difficult-to-adhere materials where standard tapes fail. The tape ships on a 58, 4.5 mil unprinted polycoated kraft paper liner that minimizes edge burr during hard-tool die cutting. Short-term heat resistance reaches 350 degrees F, making it suitable for assemblies that see elevated operating temperatures. Fabricators, assembly technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This tape is used in manufacturing and assembly applications where a transparent, dimensionally stable bond is required. The clear PET carrier provides consistent caliper control, which supports precise die cutting and automated dispensing lines. Typical use cases include bonding nameplates, mounting light-gauge components, and assembling plastic or powder-coated parts in both commercial and industrial settings. Each roll measures 12 inches wide and 36 yards long, making it well suited for high-volume cutting operations or wide-format lamination work.

Key Features

• 5 mil total construction with 1.0 mil clear PET carrier for dimensional stability
• High-performance acrylic adhesive bonds to LSE substrates, most plastics, and powder-coated surfaces
• Short-term heat resistance up to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C)
• 58 unprinted polycoated kraft liner reduces edge burr during hard-tool die cutting
• Transparent construction for clean, low-visibility bonds
• 12 inch wide by 36 yard roll format supports high-volume and wide-format applications

Compatibility

Designed for bonding to low surface energy plastics, powder-coated metal surfaces, and other difficult substrates commonly encountered in industrial assembly and fabrication operations.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by fabrication technicians or assembly line operators. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oils or contaminants before tape application. For die-cut applications, use hard-tool cutting methods to take full advantage of the kraft liner design. Store rolls in a controlled environment away from direct heat sources to maintain adhesive performance prior to use.
