3M Medical Tape 9830, Antistat Polyethylene Film
A single sided medical tape with an antistat treated, transparent polyethylene backing and matte finish, coated in acrylic adhesive for device assembly.
This Medical Tape, catalog number 9830, is a single sided adhesive tape used in the assembly of health care medical devices. 7 mil polyethylene backing that has been antistat treated, with a transparent appearance and matte finish, and is coated on one side with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive.
The antistat treatment reduces static build up on the film, which can be useful during automated handling and converting processes where static charge might otherwise cause the material to cling or misfeed on production equipment. Its transparent, matte surface allows for visibility through the film while reducing glare, which can suit certain visible components within a device assembly.
This tape is intended for use by medical device manufacturers and converters during production rather than as a stand alone clinical dressing, forming part of a finished device rather than being applied directly to a patient. Distributors supplying manufacturers keep this catalog number available for production runs specifying an antistat treated polyethylene film with acrylic adhesive.
