3M™ Double Coated Differential Tape 97027 features a .5 mil polyester (PET) film carrier coated on the face side (exposed side) with an aggressive permanent acrylic adhesive for excellent shear performance on a range of substrates including metals, composites and HSE plastics. The liner side features a removable acrylic adhesive designed for clean removal with no residue.
Removable on One Side, a Permanent Bond on the OtherDesigned for specific applications on a wide range of substrates, our 3M™ Double Coated Differential Tape 97027 features two adhesives, one on each side of a .5 mil polyester (PET) film carrier. The 1.6 mil pressure sensitive adhesive on the face side of the tape delivers excellent adhesion to HSE plastics, metals and composites, and performs well in high and low temperatures. The liner side adhesive is 0.8 mils and provides reliable temporary adhesion for placement during processing and assembly. This adhesive removes cleanly without residue, saving time. The film carrier on 3M™ Double Coated Differential Tape 97027 adds strength to final adhesion and dimensional stability for easier handling during slitting and die-cutting. The 74# polycoated kraft paper liner removes cleanly, improves handling and protects against humidity during storage.

In general, double coated tape is composed of a paper, film, or tissue carrier that is coated on both sides with pressure sensitive adhesive. The adhesive is protected by a peel-away liner that is removed at the time of application. These tapes can be applied by hand or with a dispenser. Double coated tape dispensers are available in a variety of configurations ranging from manual to fully automatic. Applications for double coated tape are found in electronics, automotive, aerospace, general industrial, and fabrication markets.
