Double-sided adhesive tapes or sheets using 3M's 300LSE adhesive are the strongest and most versatile ones commercially available. For that reason 3M 300LSE-based adhesives are extensively used in the auto and electronics industry. In recent years, 3M's 300LSE has become the preferred adhesive for attaching digitizers (i.e., the glass covers) to mobile phones and tablets.
3M manufactures more than ten different 300LSE-based double-sided adhesive tapes/sheets. Among them, a product called 9474LE offers the most sophisticated design: it is constructed with three layers, two layers of 300LSE adhesive and an ultrathin, stabilizing polyester carrier sandwiched between them. All three layers are completely transparent and thus ideal for glas panels, such as digitizers.
The most important advantage of this triple-layer construction is that it allows the sheets to be cut by knife or scissors without the edges along the cut sticking together - a problem commonly found with tapes or sheets that employ only a single layer of 300LSE. The triple-layer construction of 9474LE sheets also increases stability when the two bonded objects are subjected to shear forces.

Description

One sheet of 3M 9474LE double-linered and double-coated adhesive transfer tape, more commonly called "double-sided adhesive." It features 3M's super-strong 300LSE adhesive. 3M 300LSE adhesive bonds extremely well with metal, wood, plastics, hard leather, suede, fabrics, and rubber. 3M 300LSE bonds even with Acrylic and other so-called "Low Surface Energy" (hence the "LSE" designation in 300LSE) plastics that don't bond well with other glues. 3M's 9474LE is 3M's most sophisticated design of 300LSE-based double-sided adhesives. It comprises three layers, two adhesive layers, 2.8 mils and 3.4 mils thick, and, sandwiched between them, a thin polyester carrier, 0.5 mils thick. This sandwiched design provides much improved handling characteristics, especially for cutting with knives or scissors. In contrast, after cutting a simpler single-layer 300LSE-based sheet with a knife or with scissors, the edges along the cut tend to stick together, making it almost impossible to peel the liners off cleanly. The triple-layer sheets of genuine 3M 9474LE offered here cause no such problems, they can be cut by knife or scissors and liners still come off cleanly.
