Application Information
Proper Application For Best Results
-
1
Surface Preparation
Clean both surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils, dust, and contaminants. Allow surfaces to dry completely before application.
-
2
Tape Application
Apply the tape to one surface first, removing the release liner. Press firmly across the entire tape surface to activate the adhesive properly.
-
3
Surface Bonding
Carefully align the second surface and press firmly together. For maximum adhesion, apply uniform pressure across the entire bonded area.
-
4
Full Bond Development
Allow 24-48 hours for the adhesive bond to reach full strength. Optimal bonding occurs at temperatures between 15-30°C.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What type of surfaces can this tape bond effectively?
TRANSFER TAPE MPF9500 is designed to bond with a remarkably wide range of substrates. It performs excellently on metals (including aluminum, stainless steel, and painted metals), fiberglass, most plastics, composites, laminates, finished woods, and many foams. The modified acrylic adhesive has been specifically engineered for marine environments where materials may have varying surface energies. For specialty materials like silicones, PTFE, or certain low-surface-energy plastics, surface preparation with a primer may be recommended for optimal performance.
-
What level of fire resistance does this tape provide?
The MPF9500 is engineered with flame-retardant properties that meet marine industry standards for fire safety. While it isn't designed to serve as a primary fire barrier, it won't contribute to flame spread and will self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed. The tape has been tested according to maritime fire safety protocols and is certified for use in areas where flame retardancy is required. This makes it particularly valuable in interior cabin spaces, engine compartments, and other sensitive areas where both secure bonding and fire safety are priorities.
-
How does this tape perform in high-moisture environments?
TRANSFER TAPE MPF9500 delivers excellent moisture resistance, which is essential for marine applications. The modified acrylic adhesive maintains its bond integrity even when exposed to high humidity, occasional water splashes, and general marine conditions. For areas with direct, constant water exposure or full submersion, we recommend consulting our technical team for application-specific advice. In most standard marine applications—including exterior fixtures exposed to weather—MPF9500 maintains its adhesion properties for up to 6 months without degradation, making it reliable for both indoor and outdoor use.
-
What's the weight-bearing capacity of this tape?
The weight-bearing capacity of MPF9500 depends on several factors: the surface area of tape used, the nature of the bonded substrates, environmental conditions, and whether the load is static or dynamic. As a general guideline, properly applied TRANSFER TAPE provides approximately 10-15 PSI of holding strength on most surfaces. For vertical applications or areas subject to vibration, we recommend a safety factor of 3:1 (using three times more tape area than minimum calculations suggest). For critical applications or heavy loads, please contact our technical team for specific recommendations tailored to your exact requirements.
