Soft Aluminum Adhesive Tape 434

• Vibration-damping properties make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications in aerospace, transportation, household appliances, general industry, and more.
• Can be used at extremely low temperatures (-60 °C) thanks to its cold-temperature resistance
• Suitable for many demanding applications thanks to weather and UV resistance
• Protective film allows for processing into die-cut parts
• Special viscoelastic acrylic polymer adhesive – converts vibration energy into small amounts of heat energy that are easily dissipated
• Alternative to bitumen mats as an anti-drone coating
• Well-suited for the production of stamped parts thanks to protective cover

3M™ Metal Tape 434 is a vibration-damping, low-temperature-resistant, silver adhesive tape with a soft aluminum backing. The interface layer is coated with a pressure-sensitive viscoelastic polymer, covered by an easily removable blue polyethylene release liner. The tape absorbs and converts vibrations and dampens noise. It is suitable for a wide range of applications in aerospace, automotive, construction, and household appliances, as well as maintenance and repair tasks.

Effective at very low temperatures 3M™ Metal Tape 434 is a vibration-damping, 0.2 mm thick, silver adhesive tape with a soft aluminum backing. The tape is suitable for reducing resonance noise and vibrations in metal housings and composite materials. Covering just 10% of the surface area is sufficient to achieve effective damping. This tape is durable, moisture-, weather-, and UV-resistant, as well as flame-retardant. Additional features include resistance to aging and chemicals, as well as usability across a wide temperature range, particularly at low temperatures. The product is temperature-resistant down to -60 °C. The version with a protective film is suitable for the production of stamped parts. Recommended applications: Reduction of disruptive resonance noise, as well as vibrations and material fatigue in metal plate and structural frameworks; applications in aerospace and industrial settings at low operating temperatures; conveyors, conveyor belts, containers, metal boxes, and tables where contact with metal generates unwanted vibrations General noise reduction With protective cover for punching molded parts for aerospace applications – F.A.R. 25.853(a) Reduces noise and can prevent vibration-induced material fatigue Our 3M™ Metal Tape 434 uses a special pressure-sensitive viscoelastic acrylic polymer adhesive for noise reduction. The adhesive converts vibration energy into a negligible amount of heat energy that can be easily dissipated. It can also prevent vibration-induced material fatigue and, consequently, wear and loosening of component connections. Thanks to the pressure-sensitive adhesive, the tape can be easily applied to various surfaces.
