Application Information
Proper Application For Best Results
-
1
Surface Preparation
Clean both bonding surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove oils, dust, and contaminants. Allow surfaces to dry completely before application.
-
2
Initial Positioning
Apply the tape to the first surface without removing the release liner. Plan positioning carefully to ensure proper alignment before proceeding.
-
3
Firm Application
Remove the liner and press firmly across the entire tape surface to activate the adhesive. Use a roller or hard rubber squeegee to ensure full contact.
-
4
Full Bonding Development
Allow 72 hours for the bond to reach maximum strength. For critical applications, avoid placing full loads on the bond for at least 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does TRANSFER TAPE+ (4 Layer) differ from standard TRANSFER TAPE (2 Layer)?
While both tapes offer flame-retardant properties and clean removability, the key difference lies in the structural integrity. TRANSFER TAPE+ features a PET carrier layer sandwiched between adhesive layers, providing significantly enhanced dimensional stability and load distribution. This 4-layer construction makes it ideal for more demanding applications where higher stress resistance is required, such as mounting heavier components or installations in high-vibration areas. The PET carrier also improves the tape's resistance to tearing during application and removal, making it more forgiving in complex installation scenarios.
-
What makes this tape especially suitable for marine environments?
MPF9600 has been specifically engineered to withstand the unique challenges of marine environments. Its advanced adhesive system maintains strong bonding performance despite humidity variations, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to salt air. The tape has achieved Marine Approval certification after rigorous testing under maritime conditions, ensuring it meets the high safety and performance standards required onboard vessels. Additionally, its flame-retardant properties are particularly valuable in marine applications where fire safety is paramount, while the structural reinforcement of the PET layer helps it maintain integrity even with the constant movement and vibration experienced at sea.
-
What's the maximum weight the tape can support?
The weight-bearing capacity of TRANSFER TAPE+ depends on several factors including the area of tape used, surface types being bonded, environmental conditions, and whether the load is static or dynamic. Thanks to its reinforced structure with the PET carrier layer, this tape typically provides approximately 20-30% higher shear strength than our standard 2-layer tape. For vertical applications, we recommend calculating based on 1.5-2.0 kg/cm² of tape area, with a safety factor of 4:1 (using four times more tape area than the minimum calculation suggests). For critical load-bearing applications or specific weight requirements, we recommend contacting our technical team for customized recommendations and possible testing.
-
Can this tape be used for permanent installations?
While TRANSFER TAPE+ creates extremely strong bonds that can last for years in protected environments, it's designed to be technically removable when needed for maintenance or replacement. For truly permanent installations, adhesive solutions might not be the optimal choice compared to mechanical fasteners or structural bonding agents. That said, in many "semi-permanent" applications where future access might be needed but strong long-term performance is required, this tape excels. The PET carrier layer provides exceptional durability over time, while the adhesive chemistry is formulated to maintain its properties for extended periods without hardening or breaking down. Many of our marine customers have installations using this tape that have remained secure for 5+ years in interior applications.
