3M™ Urethane Foam Tapes Series 4300 are a conformable, grey, low-density, open cell foam with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. The adhesive is protected by a 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick tan, silicone treated paper liner and has a very soft, conformable low density foam which can help seal out air, dust and light when compressed 50%. Application ideas include: recessed lighting, door, window and cabinet seals. It also can be used to help cushion, damp sound and absorb
vibration in electronics such as printers, keyboards, computers, aircraft lights and automotive dash boards. This tape is available on individual cores and in blocks of 1.5 inches when the tape is 3/4 inch or less in width.
Note: Extra care should be taken when handling these delicate rolls of tape to avoid damaging tape.
