3M 7100144010 Polyethylene Film Tape 480 Transparent 2in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100144010 is a transparent polyethylene film tape with a 5.1 mil polyethylene backing and acrylic adhesive. It is designed for splicing, patching, and sealing applications involving polyethylene webs, sheets, and film surfaces. The conformable backing allows the tape to follow compound curves and irregular surfaces without lifting. The acrylic adhesive provides good chemical and solvent resistance, making it suitable for use in environments where exposure to common industrial chemicals is expected. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, and general construction use this tape for moisture barrier repairs, liner patching, and temporary sealing tasks.

This tape is well suited for applications where a conformable, abrasion-resistant film tape is needed on polyethylene substrates. Common uses include splicing poly sheeting on job sites, patching vapor barriers, and sealing seams on polyethylene liners. Its transparent appearance allows underlying markings or measurements to remain visible after application. The roll format makes it practical for field use in residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• 5.1 mil polyethylene film backing for durability and conformability
• Acrylic adhesive with good chemical and solvent resistance
• Conforms to compound and irregular surfaces without lifting
• Abrasion-resistant construction suitable for exposed installations
• Transparent film allows underlying markings to remain visible
• Designed for splicing and patching polyethylene webs and sheets

Compatibility

Designed for use on polyethylene webs, sheets, and film surfaces where a conformable, chemically resistant film tape is required.

Installation Notes

Surface should be clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before application to ensure proper adhesion. Apply firm pressure across the full width of the tape to maximize contact with the substrate. No special tools are required, though a roller or squeegee improves bond on flat surfaces. Follow applicable building code requirements when using tape as part of a vapor barrier or moisture management system.
