Product Description
3M SJ3540 Dual Lock 250 Reclosable Fastener (Rubber Adhesive) is a general-purpose black reclosable fastener with 250 stems per square inch, an engaged thickness of 0.23 inches and a closure life of 1,000. This black fastener has mushroom-shaped stems on a polypropylene carrier which is coated with a rubber adhesive. Type 250 stem density fasteners can mate to type 170, 250 or 400 fasteners (the higher the combined number the greater the closure strength). Mushroom-shaped stems on one side of the fastener interlock with identically shaped stems on the other side for 5X greater closure strength than hook and loop.
Dual lock type 250 fasteners with rubber adhesive are designed to bond to plastics, powder-coated metal and other low surface energy (LSE) substrates. They can replace conventional fasteners such as screws, clips, rivets, snaps, hook and loop and bolts in many applications where access or repositioning is needed. Used to hang indoor signs or art, cushions, wall headliners, indoor display components, ceiling attachment, privacy curtain rails, and wall panels. Also for POP (point of purchase), trade show exhibition and electronics, and for attaching E-ZPass tags to car windshields.
Dual lock only has one type of side; unlike velcro where there are a separate hook and a loop side; so rolls are typically cut in half and then mated or connected so a 10-foot roll would be used as two 5-foot strips.
Features & Benefits of Rubber Adhesive
- High initial adhesion upon contact
- Quick stick adhesion
- Good shear strength
- Narrow operating temperature range
- Fair moisture resistance in end use
- Some solvent resistance in end use
- Fair UV resistance for indoor use
- Moderate aging performance
- Bonds well to a variety of LSE materials including plastics and powder coated surfaces
Country of Origin: United States.
* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

Question & Answers
User Reviews
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.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
