3M Medical Tape 9835, EVA Polyethylene Coextruded
A single sided medical tape with a coextruded EVA and white polyethylene backing, coated in acrylic adhesive, for use in medical device manufacturing.
This Medical Tape, catalog number 9835, is a single sided adhesive tape used in the assembly of health care medical devices. It consists of a 4 mil coextruded ethylene vinyl acetate and white polyethylene backing, coated with a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. Combining two film materials in a coextruded structure gives the backing a balance of flexibility and body that can suit applications needing a slightly softer, more conformable film than a single layer polyethylene tape alone.
Its white, opaque appearance also makes it suitable for components where a clean, consistent visual finish is wanted rather than transparency. This tape is intended for use by medical device manufacturers and converters during production, forming part of a finished device's construction rather than being applied directly as a clinical dressing.
Distributors supplying device makers in the region keep this catalog number stocked to support ongoing manufacturing runs that specify a coextruded EVA and polyethylene film with acrylic adhesive on one side.
