3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products
Die Cut Shapes - SJ5200 Series
SJ5201 • SJ5202
Product Description
3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products SJ5201 and SJ5202 are pressure-sensitive, adhesive backed polyurethane
products made from SJ5200 Series soft foam rollstock. A hexagon shape is often preferred for various cushioning
stop and non-skid foot applications. These products have a very high tack adhesive system (synthetic rubber,
R-25), and is designed for providing excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. This includes many low
surface energy substrates such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and powder coated paints.

3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products
Die Cut Shapes - SJ5200 Series - SJ5201 • SJ5202
Features
• Soft, low compression set polyurethane foam
• Excellent sound dampening
• Vibration and shock dampening
• Long aging resiliency – will not crack or harden
• Easy to apply – just peel the bumpers from the easy release liner, position, and apply pressure. No tools
required; no holes required.
Application Techniques
To obtain maximum adhesion, surfaces should be flat, dry, and free of contaminants. Clean surfaces with low
strength solvents such as isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or heptane.* Apply firm pressure to increase the
contact of the adhesive with the substrate. Allow time (dwell) to increase adhesion.
*Note: Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using solvents.
Storage and Shelf Life
The shelf life of 3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products SJ5200 Series is 18 months from the date of manufacture
when stored in the original packaging materials and stored at 16-27°C (60-80°F) and 50% relative humidity.
Environmental Performance
3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products are intended for interior applications where resilience and other physical
properties will remain unchanged. Exposure to UV light for extended periods may cause slight discoloration or
yellowing. Bumpon products may be used outdoors in a protected area with possible discoloration and chalking.
Simultaneous exposure to high humidity and temperature may degrade (soften) the product composition.
