3M 7010374187 Polyester Film Tape 856 Transparent

Product Description

The 3M 7010374187 is a transparent polyester film tape — sold as 3M Polyester Film Tape 856 — built on a 2.0 mil polyester film backing with an acrylic adhesive system. At 3 inches wide and 72 yards long per roll, it delivers a high length-to-cost ratio for repetitive edging and reinforcing tasks. The polyester backing is tough and slightly more elastic and conformable than comparable 8411 and 8412 film tapes, making it better suited for applications that require the tape to follow contoured or irregular surfaces without lifting or splitting.

Polyester Film Tape 856 is designed for permanent edging and reinforcing of three-hole punched paper, cardboard, and similar lightweight substrates. It sees use in document preparation, print finishing, and light fabrication environments where a transparent, low-profile tape must hold a clean edge over time. The acrylic adhesive provides long-term bond stability without significant yellowing, keeping the tape visually unobtrusive on paper and cardboard surfaces.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before application to ensure full adhesive contact. Apply with steady, even pressure along the entire tape length to eliminate air pockets and lifting edges. No tools beyond a tape dispenser or straight edge are typically required. For permanent bonds, allow adhesive dwell time before subjecting the assembly to stress.
