Properties ASTM Test Method Adhesion to Steel: 61 gm/in. width (0.93 N/100 mm) D-3330 Tensile Strength at Break: 25 lbs./in. width (438 N/100 mm) D-3759 Elongation at Break: 115% D-3759 Backing Thickness: 0.94 mils (37 mm) D-3652 Total Tape Thickness: 1.5 mils (59 mm) D-3652 Temperature Use Range: Extended periods: Up to 150F (66C) Up to 30 min.: Up to 250F (121C) Features Low tack rubber adhesive adheres to a wide variety of surfaces with minimal adhesion build-up and clean removal when finished. Provides excellent abrasion, tear, scratch, puncture and moisture resistance to help protect surfaces. Extensible, abrasion resistant backing is ideal for forming operations. Pink color of the 3M tape 335 provides easy visibility for either application or removal, providing quick identification of protected versus unprotected areas. The transparent backing of the 3M tape 336 allows visual inspection without tape removal. These tapes can be used for extended periods of time up to 150F (66C) and for 30 minutes or less at 250F (121C). Application Ideas Protection from fumes and splash during plating processes on the upper portion of printed wiring boards. Protection of polished stainless steel and aluminum in fabrication, shipping, and storage. Protection of nameplates and instrument panels during shipping and installation. Protection of finished non-metallic surfaces. Protection of non-image side of inner layers of multilayer printed wiring boards. 3M Protective Polyester Tape 335 336 Application Techniques Adhesion levels can increase from any of the following conditions: - Extended exposure to direct sunlight - High stacking pressures - Extended application to copper bearing surfaces Sharp dies must be used when stamping parts protected with 3M tape 336 since dull dies result in nicked edges which cause tape slivering upon removal. Storage Store under normal conditions of 60 to 80F (16 to 27C) and 40 to 60% R.H. in the original packaging.
