Product Name
Bron BT-3579 Adhesive Transfer Tape - 2 mil ATG Tape UV Resistant Solvent Resistant General Purpose Indoor Outdoor Popular for securing paper, films, foils, foams
Brief Description
The Bron BT-3579 is a 2 mil (0.002 inch) general-purpose adhesive transfer tape, also known as ATG tape, designed for versatile bonding and laminating applications. It features a medium-firm acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive system that provides an excellent balance of high initial adhesion and good shear holding power. This tape is reverse wound on a plastic core and requires an ATG dispenser for efficient application.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Bonding and laminating paper, foils, films, and various foams- Mounting and bonding lightweight materials in manufacturing and assembly processes- Splicing applications for materials like papers and films- Graphic arts and signage, including mounting and bonding lightweight materials, nameplates, emblems, and displays- Picture framing, scrapbooking, and photo mounting- Product assembly and packaging, including sealing cartons- Gasketing and foam mounting- Bonding trim components, badges, and emblems in automotive applications- Flexible circuitry bonding in electronics- General mounting tasks for both temporary and permanent uses
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Artist, Artisan (for graphic arts, framing, scrapbooking, presentations)- Automotive Service/Repair (for bonding trim, badges, emblems)- Construction/ Building Services (for temporary applications, masking, surface protection)- Distributers & Resellers (as a general industrial supply product)- General Manufacturing (for bonding, assembly, laminating)- LED/Electronics (for bonding flexible circuits and components)- Metal Fabrication (for masking and surface protection)- Packaging Services or Contractor (for sealing, assembly, labeling)- Prosumer (for DIY projects, photo albums, presentations)- Retail, Retail Stores (for displays, signage, general mounting)- Sign & Display (for signage, graphics, nameplates, displays)- Special Effects/ Scenic Design (for mounting and temporary applications)- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle (for bonding in vehicles)

- 3M Scotch ATG Tapes (e.g., 3M Scotch 908, 924, 969, 468MP)- JVCC ATG-7502- Scapa T002- Other general-purpose adhesive transfer tapes or double-sided tapes with similar acrylic adhesive properties- Double-coated tapes (though they have a carrier, unlike transfer tapes)
Comparison Note
Bron BT-3579 is an adhesive transfer tape, meaning it consists solely of a thin layer of adhesive on a release liner, without a carrier material. This distinguishes it from double-sided tapes which have an adhesive coated on both sides of a carrier (like PET, polypropylene, or paper). The absence of a carrier in transfer tapes contributes to their flexibility, thinness, and aesthetic integration, making them ideal for applications requiring an invisible bond or for conforming to irregular shapes. Its UV and solvent resistance makes it suitable for more demanding indoor and outdoor environments compared to many standard tapes.
