Tapes
3M™ CoTran™ Foam Tapes
3M CoTran™ foam tapes, laminated with proprietary acrylate adhesives, have excellent quick-stick properties for good initial adhesion and can provide excellent extended wear, even in 7-day applications. They can be used as backings or protective coverings in passive and active transdermal systems.
In addition to foam tapes, single and double coated film tapes made with 3M films and adhesives are excellent options to consider for active delivery transdermal systems. Please contact a 3M representative to learn more about the variety of tape offerings.
