Long Description
Avery Dennison™ FT 8306 is a double-coated polyester film tape engineered for temporary bonding applications that demand a balance of strong adhesion and clean removability. Designed with a differential adhesive system—a high-tack rubber adhesive on the laminating side and a low-tack, removable acrylic adhesive on the mounting side—FT 8306 delivers dependable short-term holding power with minimal residue upon removal. This makes it an ideal solution for signage, graphics, foam bonding, and general industrial uses where temporary adhesion is required.
Key Features
Differential Adhesive System:
Laminating Side (Unwind): High-tack rubber-based adhesive ensures strong, durable bonding to a wide range of substrates, including foams and plastics.
Mounting Side (Liner): Low-tack, removable acrylic adhesive allows for clean removal from most surfaces.
Polyester Film Carrier: Offers high tensile strength and excellent dimensional stability, enabling easy handling, precision die-cutting, and clean converting.
Super Calendered Kraft Liner: Enhances release performance and supports smooth, accurate converting operations.
Excellent Die-Cutting Characteristics: High tear resistance and clean edge performance during converting and application.
Primary Benefits
Strong yet Temporary Bonding: Ideal for applications that require short-term holding power and residue-free removal.
Versatile Application: Adheres well to a wide variety of materials, including metal, ABS, foams, and painted surfaces.
Reliable Performance in Fabrication: High tensile strength and dimensional stability make it suitable for demanding die-cutting and converting processes.
Clean Removability: Low adhesion on the mounting side allows for repositioning or removal without damaging surfaces.
Common Applications
Temporary signage and point-of-purchase (POP) displays
Foam bonding in packaging or construction
Temporary mounting in manufacturing or assembly
Promotional displays and removable graphics
Industrial masking and holding applications

Application Guidelines
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or dust before applying the tape.
Bond strength is influenced by pressure, dwell time, and surface type.
Different materials (films, metals, foams) may affect adhesion and removability—test prior to use in critical applications.
Storage & Shelf Life
Shelf Life: Up to 2 years when stored in original packaging at 64–72 °F (18–22 °C) and 30–70% relative humidity, away from direct sunlight.
