Product Description
3M™ General Purpose Vinyl Tape 764 can be used in non-critical
applications such as color coding, bundling and safety marking, etc.
Product Features
• While vinyl tapes resist most common solvents, care should be taken to
avoid ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons and esters found in lacquers,
thinners, degreasers, paint strippers, etc., which may cause the backing to
swell or curl.
• Pigmented vinyl backing to conform to many irregular surfaces.
• Rubber adhesive for good instant adhesion.
