Another benefit of using 3M amalgamating tape is its ease of use. Unlike traditional tapes that require scissors or other tools for cutting, this tape can be torn by hand, making it quick and convenient to apply in tight spaces or emergency situations.
Adhesives are either natural or synthetic and come in three different types: acrylic-based, silicone-based and rubber-based. Butyl tape is a synthetic rubber adhesive manufactured to upgrade natural rubber adhesives. Compared with its natural counterpart, butyl tape is less sensitive to varying temperatures and maintains its stickiness at lower temperatures than traditional rubber adhesives.
2. Stretch the tape Most amalgamating tapes come on a roll and need to be stretched before application. Gently stretch the tape to activate the adhesive properties.
