***Discontinued*** Thermo-Bond Film

Discontinued A 12.0 mil. flexible, light colored, thermoplastic adhesive bonding film which exhibits good adhesion to a variety of metal and plastic substrates. The type of application equipment used to bond 3M™ thermo-bond film tape will depend on the application involved and on the type of equipment available to the user. Thin films and flexible substrates can be bonded using a heated roll laminator where heat and pressure can be varied to suit the application. Larger, thicker substrates can be bonded using a heated static press or, in some cases, an autoclave. For applications where a shaped adhesive is to be transferred to a flat or three-dimensional part, a hot shoe or thermode may be appropriate. See 3M data sheet for Directions for Use, Typical Performance Characteristics and Thermal Data charts.

At Budnick, we specialize in custom converting these materials into labor saving, user-friendly parts.

Data provided by Budnick Converting, Inc.

The physical properties listed are typical values and are not to be considered as specifications. Our suggestions for use are based on tests we believe to be reliable. However, the purchaser must carry out their own tests to determine the suitability of the product for their internal use. Information is given in good faith, but without warranty.

It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry and free of grease and oil.

Shelf life from date of manufacture is based on the product being stored at 70°F(21°C) / 50% relative humidity out of direct sunlight.

Specification compliance is dynamic and should only be used as a general guide. Always confirm that the tape you are interested in currently complies with all specification requirements. Please verify that the product number that you select is available in the proper size and color to meet your specification.
