MED 5684U

Single-Coated Foam

MED 5684U is a single-coated, pink, soft, conformable, thin polyethylene foam with a solventless acrylic adhesive. Its high initial tack and good level of adhesion—even under stress conditions—make this product a good match for mounting electrodes, grounding pads and other devices for sustained periods. It comes with a heavy duty liner with an easy release that is ideal for converting.
