Long Description
Avery Dennisonβ’ FT Y3241 is a high-performance double-coated polypropylene film tape featuring a hot melt rubber adhesive on both sides. It is specifically engineered for applications requiring high initial tack, strong adhesion, and conformability, particularly on low surface energy (LSE) materials such as painted steel and polypropylene.
Designed to deliver fast, secure bonding, FT Y3241 is ideal for splicing, temporary fixation of components, and general industrial assembly. It offers a unique combination of adhesive strength, dimensional stability, and clean removability at the point of application.
Key Features
Double-coated construction with a hot melt rubber adhesive on both sides.
Transparent polypropylene film carrier provides strength and conformability.
High coat-weight adhesive ensures secure bonding to LSE surfaces.
Blue-green glassine release liner allows for easy removal and efficient processing.
Benefits
Excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates, including apolar plastics like PP and PE.
High initial tack enables fast bonding with minimal pressure.
Maintains dimensional stability, even on flexible materials.
Enhances die-cutting efficiency for converters and fabricators.
Supports reinforcement of soft or flexible substrates.
Facilitates easy liner removal for smooth, one-step application.
Typical Applications
Splice tapes in industrial processing
Temporary fixation of evaporator plates in appliance manufacturing
General LSE bonding where removability is desired
Assembly tasks requiring fast bonding and easy application
