Features

• The natural colored urethane foam tape products vary in color from white to light

yellow. The color will change to light yellow upon exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet

radiation). This color change is normal and does not affect tape performance.

• 3M™ Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4026 is available in roll form and die-

cut pieces. Die-cut pieces of 3M tape 4026 is available in 3/4" or 1" squares, either

individual pieces double linered with an extended liner on one side or in pads of 48

squares.

• 3M™ Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4085 combines conformability with

high immediate adhesion to most plastics including ABS, polycarbonate, acrylic,

polyethylene and polypropylene as well as metal and paint. 3M tape 4085 tears

easily which makes it ideal for hand application.

Application Techniques

• Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact

developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and

improve bond strength.

• To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well

unified. Typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol* and water (rubbing

alcohol) or heptane.

• Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial

tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended

because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly

applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.

*Note: Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when

using solvents.

Application Ideas

The urethane foam tapes are generally ideal for interior applications or for exterior

applications where the tape will be protected from the environment. The urethane

foam is open cell.
