FAQs

What is ATG transfer tape?

ATG (Adhesive Transfer Gun) tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is dispensed from a special applicator gun. It allows for clean, controlled application of adhesive to surfaces without the mess of liquid glues or the bulk of tapes with foam carriers.

Can this tape be used on fabrics?

While it adheres to many materials, its performance on fabrics can vary. It's best suited for smooth, non-porous surfaces. For fabric applications, testing in an inconspicuous area is recommended.

What is the shelf life of this tape?

Under recommended storage conditions (cool, dry, away from direct sunlight), the tape generally maintains its properties for at least one year from the date of manufacture.

Is this tape repositionable?

No, 3M Scotch ATG 969 is a permanent adhesive and is not designed for repositioning once applied.

What is the maximum temperature this tape can withstand?

The tape can withstand a maximum operating temperature of +120°C.

How do I clean up excess adhesive?

For uncured adhesive, a suitable solvent like isopropyl alcohol may be used. Cured adhesive may require mechanical removal or specialized adhesive removers. Always test solvents in an inconspicuous area first.

What is the difference between 19mm and 12mm width tapes?

The primary difference is the width of the tape. The 19mm tape covers a wider area per pass, while the 12mm tape is narrower for more precise application in tighter spaces or for smaller items. Both use the same adhesive technology.

Troubleshooting

Tape not dispensing properly

Ensure the tape is loaded correctly in the ATG applicator. Check for any obstructions in the applicator's feed or liner take-up mechanism. Clean applicator components if necessary.

Poor adhesion to surface

Verify that the substrate surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or release agents. Ensure sufficient pressure was applied during the bonding process using the applicator.

Liner not peeling away cleanly

This can sometimes occur if the tape is not applied with consistent pressure or if the applicator is not functioning optimally. Ensure the applicator is held at a slight angle and moved smoothly across the surface.

Tape stretches or tears during application

Apply steady, consistent pressure and avoid excessive pulling. Ensure the applicator is functioning correctly and the tape is not bound.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides instant bonding without drying or curing time.
  • Clean application process, reducing mess compared to liquid adhesives.
  • Cost-effective replacement for rivets, staples, screws, and bolts.
  • Good adhesion to a wide range of common materials.
  • Designed for efficient, controlled application with ATG applicators.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible ATG applicator for optimal use.
  • Surface preparation (cleaning, drying) is critical for maximum bond strength.
  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy load-bearing applications without additional support.
  • Potential for residue if removed improperly.
  • Limited transparency may be a factor in some visual applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This tape is designed for use with 3M Scotch ATG Applicators (such as the ATG 700). Load the tape refill into the applicator according to the applicator's instructions. The applicator dispenses the adhesive tape and removes the liner in a single, controlled action.

Compatibility:

  • Applicators: Primarily compatible with 3M Scotch ATG series applicators.
  • Surfaces: Adheres well to most plastics, paper, cardstock, and some metals. Surface cleanliness and texture can impact adhesion. Avoid applying to very dusty, oily, or wet surfaces.

Care:

  • Store the tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the adhesive surface clean and free from contaminants before application.
  • Clean applicator components as per the applicator's manual to ensure smooth tape dispensing.
