3M 2112C Polyethylene Protective Tape is a 2 mil thick film with a low-tack adhesive system to help provide temporary protection of many polished metals, smooth plastics and glass materials with minimum adhesion buildup and clean removal. Its transparent backing allows visual inspection without tape removal and its acrylic adhesive is non-corrosive and non-staining. The tape is very low tack and is static-cling like.
3M 2112 Application Ideas:
- Automotive – trim, bi-metal aluminum-polished gloss, stainless steel, chrome, and interior plastic.
- Graphic Arts – gloss screen printed nameplates, aluminum signs painted gloss and polished polycarbonate.
- Plastics – gloss high-pressure laminates.
- Metals – anodized bright specular aluminum.
- Architectural Panels and Garage Doors – smooth and painted-gloss surfaces.
Please note 3M 2112C rolls are wound very tightly so when storing rolls please keep them under pressure so they do not telescope or distort (i.e. keep flat with a weight on top). By the time rolls are received they've already typically begun to telescope out; especially for rolls less than 4 or 6 inches in width.

Custom widths may be available
This tape often comes to us as full log rolls (not pre-cut) so it may be possible to cut the tape to a width not shown in the pricing table below. Also note that since this tape comes in log roll format most rolls will ship on a plain white core. Please use the 'Contact Us' page to inquire about a price and any minimum requirements for this tape in a custom width.

hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
