3M Medical Tape 1527, Perforated EVA Film
A transparent, perforated ethylene vinyl acetate film tape with acrylic adhesive, available in four model variants for health care medical devices.
8 mil perforated ethylene vinyl acetate, or EVA, backing coated with a pressure-sensitive tackified acrylic adhesive, with a silicone-treated, polyethylene-coated bleached Kraft paper liner on one side. Perforations in the backing distinguish this tape from a solid film, allowing for airflow or a defined tear pattern depending on how the material is used within a device assembly.
The listing covers four model variants, ENP, LX, MS and SP, giving manufacturers a choice of specific formulations within the 1527 family depending on their exact requirements. As with other tapes in 3M's medical component plastic tape range, this product is intended as a raw material for manufacturers constructing health care medical devices, rather than a tape for direct clinical application.
Device makers select the appropriate model based on the specific perforation pattern, adhesive characteristics or handling properties their assembly process requires. It is stocked under one catalog number for the LX model shown.
