3M 7000048788 Super Bond Film Tape 396 Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7000048788 is a transparent polyester film tape designed for demanding bonding and fastening applications across industrial and trade environments. Known as Super Bond Film Tape 396, it features a 4.1 mil polyester film backing combined with a thick rubber-resin adhesive layer that delivers extremely high immediate tack and long-term holding power. The thin caliper of the backing allows it to conform to surfaces cleanly while the adhesive resists shear and peel forces. Each roll measures 0.5 inches wide by 36 yards long and weighs 0.13 pounds. It is well suited for use by maintenance technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals who need a reliable, high-adhesion film tape.

Super Bond Film Tape 396 is used across a wide range of applications where a transparent, strong film tape is required. Typical use cases include component bundling, surface protection, splicing, and general fastening tasks in light industrial, commercial, and residential service environments. The transparent finish allows the tape to remain visually low-profile on finished surfaces, making it practical for applications where appearance matters alongside bond strength.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying any pressure-sensitive tape. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of oil or dust for maximum adhesion. Apply firm pressure along the full length of the tape to activate the adhesive bond. No special tools or trade licensing are required for application, though safety practices appropriate to the work environment should always be followed.
