Additional Test notes |
3M™ VHB™ Adhesive Transfer Tapes F9460PC, F9469PC, and F9473PC are made from the same adhesive system and are thermoplastic in nature, becoming softer as temperature increases and firmer as temperature decreases. As the adhesive becomes firmer, the adhesion performance generally increases. At low temperatures (lower than -40°F [-40°C]), the 3M™ VHB™ Adhesive
Transfer Tape becomes very firm and glassy |
