Slitting Tolerance

Standard slitting tolerance ± 1/32 inch (± 0.031 inch, ± 0.8 mm).

Precision slitting with slitting tolerance of ± 1/64 inch (± 0.016 in., ± 0.44 mm) is available on select products

with minimum order of full web increments.

Core Size

All products are provided on a 3 inch ID Core (76.2 mm).

Converted Parts

In addition to standard and custom roll sizes available from 3M through the distribution network, 3M™ VHB™

Tapes are also available in limitless shapes and sizes through the 3M Converter network. For additional

information, contact 3M Converter Markets at 1-800-223-7427 or on the web at www.3M.com/converter.

Shelf Life

All 3M™ VHB™ Tapes have a shelf life of 24 months from date of manufacture when stored at 40°F to 100°F

(4°C to 38°C) and 0-95% relative humidity. The optimum storage conditions are 72°F (22°C) and 50% relative

humidity.

Performance of tapes is not projected to change even after shelf life expires; however, 3M does suggest that

3M™ VHB™ Tapes are used prior to the shelf life date whenever possible.

The manufacturing date is available on all 3M™ VHB™ Tape cores as the lot number. The lot number, typically

a 4 digit code, is a Julian date (Y D D D). The first digit refers to the year of manufacture, the last 3 digits refer

to the days after January 1. Example: A lot number of 9266 would translate to a date of manufacture of Sept. 22

(266th day of year) in 2009. On most products this is found as the 4 digits after the “9” following the product

number. For tapes printed continuously around the core (e.g. 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 family) the lot number

typically will be the string of 4 digits preceding the product number.
