3M™ Metalized Film Tape 8437, Silver, Variable Width x 72 yd, 2.1 mil

Metalized Backing without the Weight
3M™ Metalized Film Tape 8437 is comprised of a 1 mil polyester backing with a metalized coating on both sides of the film to provide a mirror-like finish with low emissivity. It is coated with a versatile, long lasting acrylic adhesive. This backing provides some of the advantages of a metal tape without the associated weight. A mirror-like finish gives the tape high visibility and maintains its bright appearance for up to 3 months. The tape is mounted on a polyester backing that provides long-term aging, high tear resistance, good temperature resistance and high strength. The liner allows for large applications and die-cutting of custom shapes, as well as providing additional stiffness for application in narrow gaps.

Recommended Applications

• Splice detection
• Applications where reflectivity and low emissivity are desired
• Applications requiring a conductive surface
• Decorating and identification
