Handling
In order to avoid tension in the tape, it must not be stretched, compressed or twisted and should be stored with
the magnetized plastic tape to the outside. The minimum bending radius is 150 mm.

Processing hint for the gluing of magnetic tapes
Surface-Preparation: In order to guarantee optimal adhesion, all anti-adhesive contamination (e.g. oil, grease,
dust, separating agents) has to be removed using solvents with residue-free evaporation. Suitable agents are
ketones or alcohols. Typical solvents for cleaning the surface are a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol/water mixture or
heptane. Those agents are offered by Loctite and 3M among others as surface cleaners. When using solvents,
always observe the manufacturer instructions! If the surface is copper, brass etc., it should be sealed to avoid
oxidation.
Contact-Pressure: The strength of the adhesion is directly dependent on the contact the adhesive can form with
the surface. Therefore it is important to use as much pressure as possible when gluing the tape, possibly by us-
ing aids such as draw rolls. The optimum contact pressure is 4...5 kg/cm
Gluing temperature: The optimal gluing temperature is between + 18° C and 30° C. Avoid colder sticking sur-
faces than + 10°C, because in this case the adhesive becomes too hard and perhaps a sufficient immediate
adhesion is hardly to achieve. After proper sticking, the stability of the connection is ensured also when the tem-
perature is below zero. The final tackiness of a sticking is from experience reached after approximately 72 hours
(at + 21° C). For gluing use only the supplied adhesive tape.
