3M 9472LE Adhesive Transfer Tape 5.2 mil 2 in x 60 yd

Industrial Adhesive Transfer Tape 9472LE

3M 9472LE is a translucent acrylic adhesive transfer tape supplied on a continuous 60-yard roll. It is engineered for assembly, manufacturing, automotive, electronics, and general maintenance tasks where a clean, high-strength bond is required. The 5.2 mil construction delivers consistent performance across a broad temperature range. It suits professionals needing reliable adhesion on metal, plastic, and composite substrates.

Build Integration and Substrate Compatibility

The tape applies directly between two surfaces without a carrier, freeing up design space and eliminating liner waste during high-volume assembly. Its acrylic formulation bonds well to metals, glass, and many high-surface-energy plastics commonly found in electronic enclosures and automotive trim. The 2-inch width fits standard hand dispensers and automated equipment, simplifying integration into existing production lines. It is not suited for applications requiring a foam carrier for gap filling or vibration damping.

Sustained Load and Temperature Behaviour

Under continuous load the acrylic adhesive maintains shear resistance from -40 °F up to 300 °F, resisting creep and thermal degradation during extended service. The chemistry resists UV exposure and moisture, making it viable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Long-term bond strength increases with dwell time as the adhesive flows into microscopic surface texture. It is not designed for repeated repositioning or temporary holding.
