3M 7000049018 Double Coated Tape 9576 Clear 24x60yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000049018 is a double coated clear polypropylene tape measuring 24 inches wide by 60 yards long at a total thickness of 4.0 mil. It features acrylic adhesive 400 bonded to both sides and is supplied on a 4 mil, 60 lb tan densified kraft paper liner. This tape is engineered for high-speed splicing operations and is installed by press operators and print-line technicians in industrial printing environments. The construction delivers reliable immediate tack and holding strength under demanding run conditions.

This tape is primarily used in the printing industry, where flying splices and core starting operations require fast, dependable wet grab. It performs reliably at process speeds in excess of 2000 feet per minute, making it suitable for high-throughput roll-fed press lines. Its clear polypropylene carrier maintains a low profile at the splice point, minimizing disruption to the substrate during transfer.

Key Features

• 4.0 mil total tape thickness with dual-sided acrylic adhesive 400 construction
• Clear polypropylene film carrier for low-profile splices
• 4 mil, 60 lb tan densified kraft paper liner for controlled unwind and clean release
• Excellent wet grab for flying splice and core starting applications
• Rated for process speeds exceeding 2000 feet per minute
• 24-inch width covers wide-format roll-fed press configurations

Compatibility

Designed for flying splice and core starting applications in roll-fed printing operations; confirm substrate and line-speed requirements against press manufacturer specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Applied by press operators or print-line technicians as part of roll changeover procedures. Ensure the splice area is clean and free of dust, oil, or moisture before applying tape to achieve full adhesive contact. Follow press manufacturer guidelines and facility safety protocols when working near moving web machinery. Do not pre-stretch the tape during application, as distortion of the polypropylene carrier can affect splice integrity.
