For manufacturers and converters, the material can also be processed into customized formats. Depending on the project, Yousan New Materials can support:
- Custom slitting
- Narrow-width rolls
- Laminating
- Rewinding
- Custom die cutting
- OEM converting
- Application-specific tape solutions
Installation Guide
1. Prepare the Surface
Clean the application surface and remove dust, oil, moisture, and other contaminants.
2. Cut the Tape
Select the required length and width according to the application.
3. Apply the Tape
Position the tape carefully and apply it gradually to avoid wrinkles or air pockets.
4. Apply Pressure
Use firm and uniform pressure across the tape surface to maximize adhesive contact.
5. Allow Adhesion to Develop
Where required, allow sufficient dwell time before exposing the tape to significant mechanical or thermal stress.
6. Verify Performance
For critical applications, conduct application-specific testing under actual operating conditions.
Storage
Store tape in its original packaging under recommended environmental conditions.
For best performance:
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Protect from excessive heat and humidity
- Keep the original packaging closed until use
- Avoid contamination of the adhesive surface
- Store rolls on a clean, dry surface
- Follow the latest 3M storage recommendations for the specific product
Always refer to the applicable 3M technical documentation for recommended storage conditions and shelf life.
FAQ
What is 3M™ Saturated Glass Cloth Tape 90?
It is an industrial glass cloth tape featuring a saturated glass cloth backing designed for applications requiring high mechanical strength, durability, and temperature resistance.
Is 3M™ Saturated Glass Cloth Tape 90 suitable for electrical insulation?
It can be considered for electrical insulation and related applications, subject to the specific electrical, temperature, and regulatory requirements of the application.
Can it be used at high temperatures?
The tape is designed for demanding temperature environments, but the actual allowable temperature depends on the specific application and exposure conditions. Always verify the latest 3M technical data before specifying it for continuous high-temperature service.
Can the tape be die-cut?
Yes. Glass cloth tapes can be converted into custom shapes and components using suitable die-cutting processes. The exact feasibility depends on thickness, adhesive construction, geometry, and required tolerance.
Can it be supplied in narrow widths?
Yes. Slitting and rewinding can produce narrow-width rolls according to the required application and production specifications.
What surfaces can it adhere to?
It can potentially adhere to metals, glass, fiberglass, and various industrial materials. Surface preparation and application testing are recommended.
Is it suitable for automotive applications?
It may be used in selected automotive manufacturing and component applications where its mechanical and thermal properties meet the requirements. Application-specific validation is recommended.
Can you provide an alternative to 3M™ Saturated Glass Cloth Tape 90?
Yes. Yousan New Materials can evaluate equivalent or application-specific glass cloth tape solutions based on the required backing, adhesive, thickness, temperature resistance, adhesion, width, and quantity.
