3M 7100078560 Fingerprint Lifting Tape 2 in X 10 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100078560 is a transparent polypropylene film tape engineered for lifting and preserving physical evidence such as fingerprints. Sold under the Scotch 8004 product line, it features an acrylic adhesive that bonds instantly to a wide variety of surfaces while maintaining full optical clarity. The tape measures 2 inches wide on a 1-inch core and delivers a total thickness of 2 MFD (0.002 inch). Its polypropylene backing is highly conformable and hand-tearable, making it practical for field use by forensic technicians, law enforcement personnel, and evidence collection specialists who need a reliable, clean-lifting solution without specialized cutting tools.

This tape is suited for forensic and evidence-preservation applications in both field and laboratory settings. The acrylic adhesive provides high-tack, immediate adhesion to smooth and semi-smooth surfaces including glass, metal, and finished walls. The polypropylene film resists moisture, common chemicals, and UV exposure, helping preserve the integrity of lifted evidence during transport and storage. Each roll provides 10 yards of usable tape length, making it suitable for extended evidence collection work at a single scene.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by forensic technicians or law enforcement personnel following established evidence-handling protocols. Clean the tape dispenser or cutting surface before use to avoid contaminating the adhesive. Handle the tape by its edges to prevent fingerprint transfer from the applicator to the tape surface. Store unused rolls in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive performance and film clarity.
