Why 9474LE is the best 300LSE-based double-sided adhesive

3M 9474LE is hands-down 3M's best double-sided 300LSE adhesive, and here is why. Simpler versions of double-sided adhesive based on 300LSE (e.g., 3M's 8153LE) have one layer of 300LSE adhesive, sandwiched between two protective liners. The problem with all versions offered with this single-layer design is that when cutting these sheets with scissors or knifes, a small amount of the adhesive oozes out between the two liners and sticks to the sides of the liners, along the cut. Then, when trying to peel off a liner, that liner will stick to the opposite liner, making it impossible to separate the liners cleanly. In contrast, the sophisticated 9474LE product is constructed with three layers, as shown in the 2nd illustration, above. Here, an ultrathin, so-called "carrier" is sandwiched between two layers of 300LSE adhesive, thereby stabilizing the adhesive and preventing it from oozing out when being cut. As a result, the sheets of 3M 9474LE offered in this listing here can be cut with utility knifes or scissors and the liners will separate cleanly without sticking together. If you ever went through the frustrating experience of cutting single-layer versions of 300LSE-based double-sided adhesives, you will appreciate the value of the 9474LE product. We here at Soles2dance certainly appreciate the benefits of 3M 9474LE and we use this sophisticated product for our own fabrication needs, even though it is more expensive than simpler versions.

3M offers other double-coated** adhesive transfer tapes with the same 3-layer construction as that of 9474LE. However, in these other products the adhesive layers on each side the carrier are not the same. For example, 3M 9490LE uses 300MP adhesive on the faceside and 300LSE adhesive on the backside. This is good for specific applications in the auto industry, but most of our customers will prefer 300LSE on both sides, and the product offered here is the only such version available as sheets. Also, in small quantities of a few sheets and in small sizes (smaller than 24"x36"), this product is available only from us.

Notes:

* "double-linered" means that the product is provided with liners (protective foils) on the front and back. This is different from products fabricated in the form of rolls: those have only one liner and are thus not suitable for marketing in sheet-format.
