Ultra High Temperature 100HTL

Adhesive Transfer Tapes
9077 • 9079
Technical Data November, 2006

Product Description 3M™ Ultra High Temperature 100HTL Adhesive Transfer Tapes utilize a high
performance and low outgassing adhesive system having excellent heat resistance
in high temperature environments. These adhesive systems have excellent holding
power and much higher adhesion strength at high temperatures than typical pressure
sensitive adhesive tapes.
3M™ Ultra High Temperature 100HTL Adhesive Transfer Tape 9077 is a double
coated non-woven adhesive tape with improved die-cut and converting performance.
3M™ Ultra High Temperature 100HTL Adhesive Transfer Tape 9079 is a solid
adhesive transfer tape with no carrier in the adhesive, which provides better adhesive
wet-out for improved initial adhesion.

Features • High temperature release liner that is able to survive from a typical lead-free
solder reflow process having a peak temperature up to 500°F (260°C).
• Ideal for Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) attachments in many areas of electronics
subjected to high temperature processing and operating environments.
• Releasable after lead-free solder reflow.
• High adhesion, excellent holding power and low outgas.

Characteristics or typical only, and should not be used for specification purposes.

Both tapes are made from high temperature acrylic adhesive systems, and will
become softer as temperature increases and firmer as temperature decreases. As the
adhesive becomes firmer, the adhesion performance generally increases. At low
temperatures (lower than -40°F [-40°C]), the tapes become very firm and glassy;
the ability to absorb impact energy is reduced. Adhesive strength and liner release
performance before and after a typical lead-free solder reflow are presented here
along with static shear data a high temperatures.

Application Techniques Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact
developed. Firm application pressure helps develop better adhesive contact and
improves bond strength.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry, and well
unified. Some typical surface cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol/water
mixture or heptane.*
Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial
tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended
because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However, once properly
applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
*Note: When using solvents, extinguish all ignition sources and follow the
manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use.
