Description
Versatile Polyester Film Adhesive Tape for Industrial and Graphic Use
The Avery Dennison FT 397 Double-Sided Tape is a high-quality polyester (PET) film carrier tape coated with clear acrylic adhesive on both sides. It is designed to deliver strong adhesion, excellent shear resistance, and outstanding long-term durability across a variety of substrates.
Durable and Reliable Adhesion
FT 397 provides high tack and superior shear strength, ensuring permanent bonds that withstand mechanical stress and environmental exposure. Its pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive system performs exceptionally well on metals, glass, plastics, and painted surfaces, offering dependable results across diverse applications.
Environmental and Chemical Resistance
This adhesive system provides excellent UV, moisture, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The tape resists plasticiser migration, ensuring lasting adhesion when applied to flexible PVC and similar materials. It maintains consistent performance at elevated temperatures — up to 140°C short-term — without loss of bond strength or cohesion.
Engineered for Easy Handling and Application
The twin moisture-stable release liners ensure clean, reliable separation during use and make FT 397 ideal for die-cutting, converting, and laminating. The PET carrier ensures excellent dimensional stability, making the tape easy to apply in precision bonding and mounting operations.
Applications in Signage, Displays, and General Industry
Avery Dennison® FT 397 is widely used in signage, graphics mounting, display construction, and general assembly tasks where transparency, strength, and weathering resistance are essential. It provides a professional finish without the need for mechanical fasteners or liquid adhesives.
