Key Application Requirements
Clean removal.
Product or Process Replaced
Tapes that stick to the metal and are costly to remove.
Benefits/Advantages To Customer
Adhesive removes cleanly: Medium-tack (2AU23B/UV, 31U23C/UV,
2AU26B/UV and 31U26C/UV) adhesives remove cleanly. (Other “A” tapes
may be considered. See Related Products on the reverse side.)
Reduces rework and labor costs: Because the tapes remove cleanly, no rework
is required to remove adhesive residue, and there’s no need to delegate a
worker to remove the tape after storage or transport.
Reliable protection: Proprietary film technology provides advanced abrasion-
and puncture-resistance that make these tapes stronger than competitive films.
UV tapes provide dual protection from sunlight in both the 3M film backing
and the adhesive system. 
Outdoor storage: 3M protective UV tapes allow equipment with the protective
tape to be stored outdoors for up to 3 months. 
Visible inspection: Translucent tapes allow visible inspection of parts under the
tape.
