User manual 3M SPLICING TOGETHER FIBERGLASS WEB TO ASPHALT SHINGLES

[. . . ] Application Profile Market: Construction Application Description: Splicing together fiberglass web in the manufacture of asphalt shingles and roofing materials. Application Method Manual operation where the mat materials are cut and a 4" ­ 6" wide piece of 365 or 3650 is applied. Heat is applied either by hand or may be automated. PRODUCT 3MTM Thermosetable Glass Cloth Tape 365 and 3650 Key Application Requirements Splicing material that has equal or greater tensile than the fiberglass mat. [. . . ] Resists moisture: Butt splices made with 3M tape provide complete adhesive coverage for the spliced web leaving no overlapping uncoated mat to absorb moisture. Helps reduce maintenance: Use of tape eliminates the use of hot melt glue guns, eliminating the time needed to clear plugged nozzles and routine maintenance time for glue gun heads. Tensile strength: Tensile strength of the 3M tape and the finished spliced produced is greater than that of the fiberglass web. 3M Industrial Business Process Operator precuts the length of 3MTM Thermosetable Glass Cloth Tape 365 or 3650, which is necessary as time spent is critical to the operation. Near the end of the fiberglass jumbo, they bring in the start of the new jumbo and make a butt splice. Tape 365/3650 is applied by hand over the two jumbo ends and smoothed down. Heat is applied via an iron that is at least 500°F and up to 800°F. The tape is ironed until the backing becomes a light tan. The jumbo is released and goes through the accumulator and coating process.
