Tapes

ANTI-SLIP / ANTI-SKID

EIS offers a full range of functional, slip-resistant materials designed for the safety of people in the workplace. As a leading global manufacturer of slip-resistant products, 3M offers a full range of functional, slip-resistant materials designed for the safety of people in the workplace. These mineral and non-mineral coated anti-slip materials are suitable for industrial or residential applications in dry, wet, or oily conditions. 3M™ Safety-Walk™ Slip-Resistant Tapes and Treads adhere to clean, dry surfaces without wrinkling, curling, tearing, shrinking, or lifting. Additionally, anti-slip materials offer proven durability for long life. A pressure-sensitive adhesive backing makes it easy to apply tapes and treads without the use of anchoring. 3M™ Safety-Walk™ products meet or exceed the standards and recommended guidelines for slip resistance under ASTM requirements.

Standard rolls and pre-cut treads are available in various sizes, colors, and textures ranging from fine resilient, medium resilient, and general-purpose to coarse and conformable material types. EIS can easily produce custom sizes, pieces, and die-cut shapes. 

DOUBLE COATED

EIS provides double-coated tapes for a variety of bonding, attaching, and laminating applications.

Our double-coated tape lines are available in a wide variety of tack strengths and release values. These products are provided with liners on both sides and allow the user to bond both high and low surface energy materials. EIS can provide these tapes in roll form or as die-cut parts. We are also able to design custom laminates that utilize double-coated materials in the product construction. Several of the products are provided with different adhesives coated on either side or different types of adhesive to meet the most challenging application requirement.

REMOVABLE TAPES

Tapes are high-quality, double-coated, and made for easy application. These products are the ideal material to be used when repositioning of parts may be needed. These products allow for the same part to be easily removed, if required, for repositioning.

EIS offers both high and low tack variations of these products allowing for near limitless application. The high tack material in this product line is an excellent example of a high flow adhesive that is best used for bonding complex materials such as fabric, contoured material, and foam.

TRANSFER

Adhesive Transfer Tapes are rolls of pressure-sensitive adhesive designed to adhere to many different substrates. For application, the tape is simply pressed, adhesive side down, to a surface, and the liner is peeled off.

Adhesive transfer tapes are suitable for adhering, joining, affixing, bonding, mounting, holding, laminating, and splicing. They are available for applications that include laminating high-performance materials and difficult to bond surfaces or substrates. Transfer tapes offer both low tack and high tack and shear strength versions. Many of them provide excellent temperature and solvent resistance, excellent adhesion to foams and foils. They can be used for joining materials that have a wide range of surface textures.

VHB

EIS is a supplier and converter of the entire range of 3M™ VHB™ acrylic foam tapes. VHB tape can replace mechanical fasteners in many applications by providing:

• Instant bonding
• Shock absorption
• Stress distribution across the bond for high strength
• Flexibility to accommodate expansion and contraction
• Permanent waterproof seal
• Conformable to substrate irregularities
• Smooth, invisible appearance
• Improved productivity by eliminating drilling, welding, grinding, and clean-up

These tapes have remarkably high holding power for static and dynamic loads and are reliable and durable. The 3M family of VHB tapes includes the RP, 5952, and 4941 families of tapes.

The 3M VHB RP family includes RP16, RP25, RP45, and RP62 and is well-suited to resist UV and weather damage in outdoor applications. It bonds to:

• Glass
• Metal
• Many plastics
• Composites
• Wood
• Painted surfaces
  
  

The 3M VHB 5952 family includes 5915, 5915P, 5925, 5925P, 5930, 5930P, 5952, 5952P, 5962, 5962P, and 5958FR. Conformable acrylic foam is combined with modified acrylic adhesive resulting in a tape that adheres to the broadest substrates. Applications include medium surface-energy plastics, such as rigid PVC, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and polystyrene.

3M VHB 4941 tape family includes 4926, 4936, 4936F, 4919F, 4941, 4941F, 4947F, 4956, 4956F, 4979F, and 4991. This tape family performs well in outdoor applications and harsh environments. It can also be used with painted/sealed porous surfaces like wood and concrete.
