3M-MSG6100F

Technical Data | December 2020  

3M™ Electrically Conductive Gasket Tape MSG6000F Series  

Product Description  

3M™ Electrically Conductive Gasket Tape MSG6000F Series consists of a conductive fabric, highly conductive grey  

foam and black pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). It offers excellent grounding performance between substrates and  

also has high EMI shielding performance. The PSA tack properties make 3M tape MSG6000F series easy to use in  

assembly operations and offers good adhesion to common metal such as copper, aluminum, stainless steel and smooth  

conductive substrates.  

3M tape MSG6000F series is typically used in applications that require good conductivity, compressibility and  

resilience. This tape series will help secure a reliable conductive connection for ESD grounding or form a close  

conductive enclosure to achieve good EMI shielding performance.  

3M tape MSG6000F series is effective for EMI shielding over a wide range of frequencies from several tens of  

megahertz to tens of gigahertz. This tape series is a great solution for many mobile handheld devices, including mobile  

phones, portable digital cameras, and laptops, that need grounding reinforcement or better shielding.  

3M™ Electrically Conductive Gasket Tape MSG6000F Series has three thickness options

. The standard width is  

400mm. Please contact 3M to review custom width and length options.

**It is not suggested for excessive high or low temperature excursions where the application performance might be  

compromised. The user is recommended to conduct application evaluation to determine the fit-for-purpose of tape in  

their design.

Application Guide  

The bond strength of 3M™

Electrically Conductive Gasket Tape MSG6000F Series depends on the amount of adhesive-  

to-surface contact developed during application and substrate type and surface conditions.  

Note*: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when working with

solvents.  

Tape application below 10°C (50°F) is not suggested. Once properly applied, low temperature holding power is  

generally satisfactory.  

1) Firm

 

application pressure helps develop better wet-out and adhesive contact and may lead to improved bond  

strength as well as electrical conductivity. Pressure must be applied to the bond area after assembly to ensure  

sufficient wet-out of the adhesive to the substrates and to engage the conductive acrylic adhesive fillers with the  

substrates to make electrical connection. Mechanical pressure (roller, metal bar) or finger pressure at 5-15 psi.  

(Optimally the application conditions are determined via a set of Design of experiments (DOE) using a range of  

application pressure, dwell time and temperatures (suggested initial range might include 5-15psi, 2-5 seconds,  

21°C – 38°C).  

2) Heat

 

may be applied simultaneously with pressure to improve wetting, final bond strength and electrical  

conductivity. Suggested temperature range to evaluate is in the 38°C – 60°C range.  

3) To

 

obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and well unified. Some typical surface  

cleaning solvents are isopropyl alcohol or heptane.  

4) Adhesion

 

builds with time, up to 24 to72 hours may be required to reach final adhesion values.
