3M Aluminum Foil Label Material 7940 is a durable, thin gauge aluminum designed to meet a wide range of difficult nameplate application requirements. 3M Aluminum Foil Label Material 7940 utilizes 3MAdhesive 320 which offers excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces including high surface energy (HSE) and low surface energy (LSE) plastics.
When labels come in contact with harsh chemicals, high temperatures, or otherwise rough conditions, we offer a variety of 3M™ Sheet and Screen Label Materials to meet the demands of the job. The overlaminate delivers excellent dimensional stability and optimal clarity while improving moisture, tear, cracking and abrasion resistance.
Applications
- Extended life outdoor label applications
- Nameplates and product ID labels
- Rating plates
- Property identification and asset labeling
- Caution, warning, instruction, and service labels for durable goods, equipment/machinery including lawn and garden

This product includes a 90# liner for lay flat performance. Some constructions are the same facestock and adhesive as other products. Our sheet and screen label materials come in two facestocks — polyester and vinyl. The polyester delivers high heat tolerance, optimal clarity and high tensile strength while the vinyl offers good UV resistance and excellent conformability.
For outdoor durability, High 3M™ Performance Tackified Acrylic Adhesive P1400 resists UV sunlight and moistureAbout 3M Adhesives for Sheet and Screen Label Materials
3M™ Sheet and Screen Label Materials feature a range of our specially-formulated adhesives for just the right balance of adhesion and removability. Adhesives include:
- 3M™ Adhesive 350 is a modified acrylic adhesive ideal for applications requiring high shear strength even on low surface energy materials, powder coatings or slightly oily metals.
- 3M™ High Performance Permanent Tackified Acrylic Adhesive P1400 is formulated for use in demanding environments. This adhesive offers good UV resistance and excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including polyolefins.
- 3M™ High Stability Acrylic Adhesive 500 applies to our vinyl label stocks, and removes cleanly from most surfaces up to one year after application. It's ideal for outdoor die-cut masks.
- 3M™ R3500 Removable Adhesive (PDF, 10.46 Kb) is multi-repositionable for use on smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, and plastic (including polystyrene). It provides good initial tack and long-term adhesion and removes without residue.
- 3M™ Adhesive 400 is a medium-firm pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive system which delivers a consistently strong bond across a range of temperatures, up to 250°F/121°C.
- 3M™ Adhesive 200MP provides outstanding adhesion to metal and high surface energy plastics. This adhesive provides some initial repositionability for placement accuracy when bonding to plastics. It also performs well after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles.
