Overview

ALS Tape supplies 3M adhesive transfer tapes matched to application requirements across six adhesive families. Each family is engineered for a distinct combination of substrate, temperature, and performance requirement. Optically clear formulations (2000MP series) bond ITO layers and display components with ITO-compatible adhesive rated from -40°F to 350°F (-40°C to 177°C). Flame-retardant grades (300FR) meet UL requirements for automotive and electronics enclosures. Ultra-high-temperature formulations (100HT, 9082/9085) withstand up to 550°F (288°C) for demanding industrial and aerospace environments. Low-outgassing grades (290 series, 501FL/502FL) meet NASA low-volatility specifications for cleanroom and aerospace assembly. Low-surface-energy formulations (300LSE, 9471LE/9472LE) bond to powder coatings, LSE plastics, and oily substrates. High-performance industrial grades (200MP, 467MP/468MP) are the industry standard for graphic attachment, metal fabrication, and rotary die-cutting. ALS Tape supports slitting, lamination, and rotary die-cutting of transfer tape into production-ready formats.

FAQ

What is adhesive transfer tape?

Adhesive transfer tape is a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on a release liner, with no carrier film or tissue inside. After the liner is removed only the adhesive stays on the part, so the bond line is thin and conforms closely. It is used to laminate foam, film and nameplates and is often die-cut into parts.

What 200MP adhesive thicknesses are listed here?

3M lists 467MP at about 0.06 mm and 468MP at about 0.13 mm of adhesive, excluding the release liner. See the related selection guide for a comparison on production surfaces.

Which transfer tape bonds to polypropylene or powder coat?

Use a 300LSE adhesive such as 3M 9471LE (0.058 mm) or 9472LE (0.13 mm). 3M lists 9472LE at 14.9 N/cm 90° peel to polypropylene after 72 hours. The 200MP grades (467MP, 468MP) are meant for metals and high-surface-energy plastics.

Transfer tape or double coated tissue tape?

Transfer tape has no carrier, so it gives the thinnest bond line and the most conformable joint. Double coated tissue tape adds a thin tissue carrier between two adhesive layers, which makes it easier to handle, slit and die-cut, and a little stiffer. Both can be supplied as die-cut parts.

Is this the same as vinyl transfer tape used with cutting machines?

No. Craft or application transfer tape is a low-tack tape for moving cut vinyl lettering. Adhesive transfer tape is a permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive used in manufacturing to bond and laminate parts.

Can you supply transfer tape as die-cut parts?

Yes. We slit transfer tape to width and die-cut it to your drawing, kiss cut on a liner or as loose parts. Die-cut parts start from 100 pcs; custom samples take 3–9 days and prototypes can be laser or CNC knife cut without tooling.
