3M™ Urethane Foam Tapes Series 4100 are a natural-white, firm, high-density, open-cell foam with pressure-sensitive adhesive on one side. The acrylic adhesive offers high initial quick stick to many types of surfaces along with excellent shear strength and high temperature performance. The adhesive is protected by a 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner and has a firm rigid open cell urethane that offers excellent cushioning characteristics while allowing air or gas vapors to pass through the open cells. This product is placed on a 1.5 in. wide common core when the tape is 3/4 in. or less in width. Skip slitting is also used for roll stability on these narrow sizes.
Note: 3M urethane foam tape series 4100 may turn yellow when exposed to light. Such yellowing affects only the appearance and not the physical performance of the tapes.
