Application Techniques Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and improves bond strength. To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.* *Note: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when working with solvents. 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. Application Ideas • Miscellaneous joining and holding uses where high initial tack is required. • Quick and easy tacking of carpet edges. • General industrial mounting, joining and splicing. Application Equipment To apply adhesives in a wide web format, lamination equipment is required to ensure acceptable quality. To learn more about working with pressure-sensitive adhesives please refer to technical bulletin, Lamination Techniques for Converters of Laminating Adhesives (70-0704-1430-8).

Storage Store in original cartons at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity. Shelf Life When stored under proper conditions, product retains its performance and properties for 18 months from date of manufacture. -3- 3M™ Double Coated Tapes with Adhesive 700 Series 9443NP • 9589 Certification/ Recognition FDA The components in 3M™ Double Coated Tapes 9443NP and 9589 are in compliance with the requirements for use as indirect food additives under Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR). The carrier material is regulated under 21 CFR 177.1520 (c) (3.1) and (3.2) (Olefin polymers). All of the adhesive components are regulated under 21 CFR 175.105 (Adhesives). As found in 21 CFR 175.105, there are usage restrictions associated with all adhesives used around food. As indicated in this regulation, the adhesive must either be separated from the food by a functional barrier or used subject to the following: (1) In dry foods: used such that the quantity of adhesive that contacts the packaged dry food does not exceed the limits of good manufacturing practice. (2) In fatty and aqueous foods: the quantity of adhesive that contacts the packaged fatty and aqueous food does not exceed the trace amount at the seams and at the edge exposure between packaging laminates that may occur within the limits of good manufacturing practice. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that his or her application is in compliance with these usage restrictions.
