Information
Temperature Range
Maximum
No 213 has the firmest and
generally most transfer
resistant adhesive of all 3M
paper tapes. A very close
product is No. 214 which
should always be evaluated
at the same time.
This tape has often been
used to overcome paint
puffing complaints despite
its rather high adhesion. Its
firm adhesive does not
anchor itself as softer
adhesives often do.
175 °C
This firm adhesive often
makes No. 213 the best
tape for use on treated
metal surfaces.
This tape is not
recommended for
applications requiring
outdoor exposure, but
generally can be used on
indoor applications for a
reasonable length of time.
No. 213 has been used in
bake cycles up to 175°C for
one hour with clean, easy
removal. Performance is
governed by total time,
temperature, surface tape is
applied to, and any other
coatings and conditions.

Application Techniques
Applications
1. Bond strength is
dependent upon the amount
of adhesive-to-surface
contact developed. Firm
application pressure
develops better adhesive
contact & thus improves
bond strength.
2. To obtain optimum
adhesion, the bonding
No. 213 should be
considered whenever
treated metals, especially
light metals, are
encountered.
surfaces must be clean dry
and well unified. A typical
surface cleaning solvent is
isopropyl alcohol & water.
Use proper safety
precautions for handling
solvents.
3. Ideal tape application
temperature range is 21°C
to 38°C (70°F to 100°F).
It should also be considered
whenever a bake cycle
exceeds one hour at 150°C
or wherever a moderate
tack tape is desired.
Initial tape application to
surfaces at temperatures
below 10°C (50°F) is not
recommended because the
adhesive becomes too firm
to adhere readily. However
once properly applied low
temperature holding is
generally satisfactory.
