Double Coated Splicing Tapes

Product Description

3M™ Splicing Tapes 9737 and 9737R are high tack, double coated acrylic pressure

sensitive adhesives with a polyester carrier.

3M™ Splicing Tapes 9738 and 9738R are similar products, but produced with a non-

woven tissue carrier. These products offer good temperature resistance and adhere

well to kraft and coated papers. These high performance splicing tapes are appropriate

for use on paper, plastics and other continuous web processes. Especially appropriate

in the manufacture of corrugated paper.
