Why Choose 3M™ Double Coated Tissue Tape 9456?
3M™ 9456 combines a flexible tissue carrier with pressure-sensitive adhesive technology to provide a practical solution for general-purpose double-sided bonding. Its thin construction is useful where manufacturers need a low-profile adhesive layer without adding significant bulk to the assembly.
The tape is also suitable for converting operations such as slitting and precision die-cutting, making it a flexible option for manufacturers that require customized adhesive shapes or production-ready tape components.
Installation Guide
- Clean the surfaces
Remove dust, oil, grease, moisture, and other contaminants from the bonding surfaces. - Prepare the substrates
Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and suitable for pressure-sensitive adhesive bonding. - Cut the tape
Cut 3M™ 9456 to the required size or use a custom die-cut component. - Apply the first side
Remove the release liner and apply the tape to the first substrate. - Apply firm pressure
Press the tape evenly across the bonding area to maximize contact. - Remove the remaining liner
Carefully remove the second liner while avoiding contamination of the exposed adhesive. - Position the second substrate
Align the mating material carefully before applying full contact. - Apply pressure
Press the assembly firmly and evenly across the entire bonded area. - Allow sufficient dwell time
Allow the adhesive to build adhesion before exposing the assembly to its maximum service load.
Storage
Store 3M™ Double Coated Tissue Tape 9456 in its original packaging in a clean, dry environment. Protect the tape from direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, dust, and contamination.
Keep the product properly packaged during storage and follow the latest official 3M™ documentation for recommended storage conditions and shelf-life requirements.
