 3M™ BONDED TAPE SYSTEM BT offers the ultimate bond to the rubber and the ultimate bond to the substrate. It creates a moisture barrier and air-tight seal between rubber and substrate. With the highest peel-and-shear resistance, it can be used under high loads of stress and force. It has low initial tack for easy re-positioning during installation and needs 72 hours of cure time to reach full-bond strength. It has good heat performance from -20F to +158F.
