Highlights
  • 5 mil nominal adhesive tape delivers exceptional shear strength for metals and HSE plastics
  • Provides very high resistance to solvents and humidity
  • Unique Micro-Channel PCK liner features air release technology to help prevent air entrapment during lamination
  • 200MP acrylic adhesive is considered the industry standard for graphic attachment and general industrial joining applications
  • Temporarily repositionable adhesive improves placement accuracy, reducing rework

3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 468MC provides outstanding adhesion to metal and high surface energy plastics. 200MP adhesive delivers excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting. The tape is temporarily repositionable for placement accuracy. It incorporates a unique Micro-Channel PCK liner that uses air release technology to help prevent air entrapment during lamination.

Micro-Channel Liners for Smoother Application
3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape 468MC is designed with a 5.0 mil thick adhesive for applications such as splicing and laminating procedures using metals and HSE plastics. This high-performance adhesive delivers excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting. It is delivered on a 58 lb. Micro-Channel, polycoated kraft paper liner which reduces the occurrence of unsightly wrinkles and bubbles that contribute to rework.

Recommended Applications

  • Long term bonding of large graphic overlays ("subsurface" printed polycarbonate or polyester) to metal and high surface energy plastics
  • Bonding metal nameplates, serial and rating plates
  • Bonding graphic overlays for membrane switches and bonding complete switches to equipment surfaces
  • Aerospace, medical and industrial equipment, automotive, appliance and electronics markets

About High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP
3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP is considered an industry standard for graphic attachment and general industrial joining applications. It features outstanding adhesion to metal, polycarbonate (PC), ABS and polyester (PET) making it a popular choice across many industries. This adhesive provides some initial repositionability for placement accuracy when bonding to plastics. It has also been tested for performance after exposure to solvents, humidity and moisture, as well heat (up to 400°F/204°C for short periods).

What are Adhesive Transfer Tapes?
Adhesive transfer tapes are rolls of pressure sensitive adhesive pre-applied to a special release liner. For application, the tape is simply pressed, adhesive side down, to a surface and the liner is peeled off. A variety of adhesive properties and liners are available to meet requirements for applications such as nameplate attachment to high and low surface energy plastics, appliance graphic overlays that perform in high temperatures, foam gasketing, web splicing, signs, posters, banners, point-of-purchase displays, and more.
