Following its recent acquisition of Knifeless Tech Systems, 3M has launched a range of knifeless tapes that incorporate patented technology that uses a filament embedded in the centre of the tape for cutting and trimming adhesive films.

The film is placed over the knifeless tape and is cut by pulling the filament up through the film, taking the worry out of cutting and trimming during installation. The flexible tape allows installers to quickly and confidently cut graphic film along the contours of the surface with precision and without risk of damage.

“The addition of 3M Knifeless Tapes to the range of innovative graphic films and installation tools we offer underlines our commitment to supporting 3M customers and making their installations as simple, quick and worry-free as possible,” explains Christian Stoehr, Portfolio manager West Europe, 3M Commercial Solutions Division.

3M Knifeless Tapes cut through graphic film with sharp, clean lines and curves and cover a wide range of applications including panels, stripes and accents and intricate designs. In addition, the 3M PPF Line Knifeless Tape is a two-tape system designed for wet applications and makes installing pliable paint protection films quick and easy.

All 3M Knifeless Tapes are supplied in re-sealable, single roll pouches for easy storage and to prevent damage from dust and dirt. Training is also available through the 3M Endorsed Training Programme.
