3M Medical Tape 1525L, Polyethylene, Matte Finish

This Medical Tape, catalog number 1525L, is a single sided adhesive tape used in the manufacture of health care medical devices. It is made from a 3 mil transparent polyethylene backing with a matte finish, coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. The liner protecting the adhesive is a silicone treated, polyethylene coated bleached Kraft paper, coated on one side only, which peels away cleanly during application.

Its matte, transparent appearance and moderate thickness make it suitable for general purpose bonding tasks within a device assembly where a balance of visibility and film strength is needed. As with other tapes in this range, it is intended for use by medical device manufacturers and converters during production rather than for direct application to skin or use as a clinical dressing.

Distributors supplying device makers in the region keep this catalog number in stock so that manufacturing lines specifying this particular polyethylene film and adhesive combination have a reliable, ongoing supply for assembly work.
