Reclosable Fasteners

Now it’s easier than ever to get connected – www.3M.com/fasteners. Or 1-800-567-1639 ext. 3115 for additional information or sales assistance.

Note: This technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes. 

Rubber adhesives are suited for indoor applications or attachments to low surface energy (LSE) materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, powder coated paints, etc. Acrylic adhesives are
better suited for outdoor, high temperature or high humidity applications.

All PSA products are on film liners (except SJ4570 and SJ3506/07 have paper liners) – four square inches of fastening area per pound of static load is a suggested starting point.
