Long Description
Avery Dennisonβ’ FM 7600 is a high-performance, double-coated foam bonding tape engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring immediate adhesion, long-term durability, and high shear resistance. Designed with a cross-linked, closed-cell polyethylene foam carrier, FM 7600 delivers excellent conformability, internal strength, and reliable bonding across a variety of surfacesβincluding metals, plastics, and painted substrates.
With a specially formulated permanent synthetic rubber adhesive on both sides, this tape is optimized for bonding to low surface energy (LSE) and high surface energy (HSE) materials. It is particularly well-suited for die-cut applications, component mounting, and high-load assemblies in industries such as automotive, electronics, signage, and general industrial manufacturing.
Key Features
Double-coated with synthetic rubber adhesive for high initial tack
Closed-cell polyethylene foam carrier provides excellent internal strength
Offers conformability to uneven surfaces and compensates for substrate irregularities
Comes with a medium-release white glassine liner for smooth processing and easy conversion
Performance Benefits
Immediate adhesion to a wide range of materials including metal, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and painted steel
Foam carrier resists tearingβadhesion strength exceeds internal foam strength on many substrates
Excellent static shear resistance, supporting high-stress applications and long-term holding power
Designed for easy die-cutting and pad conversion, making it ideal for automated manufacturing lines
Clean removal from the release liner at the point of use

Thickness (ASTM D3652)
| Component | US Mils | mm | Microns (Β΅m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liner | 3.23 | 0.082 | 82 |
| Carrier + Adhesive | 44.09 | 1.120 | 1120 |
| Total Caliper | 47.32 | 1.202 | 1202 |
Adhesion Performance (ASTM D3330)
180Β° Peel Adhesion, 12β (300 mm/min) at Room Temperature
Stainless Steel (72 hr dwell): Adhesive strength exceeds internal foam strength
Polycarbonate (20 min dwell): Adhesive strength exceeds internal foam strength
Painted Steel (20β24 hr dwell): Adhesive strength exceeds internal foam strength
Polypropylene (72 hr dwell): Adhesive strength exceeds internal foam strength
Note: In all above cases, substrate adhesion surpasses the cohesive strength of the foam, indicating failure within the foam layer rather than at the bond interface.
