Large Surface Lamination

3M Large Surface Lamination product solutions take advantage of surface-to-surface strength to resist shear and peel stresses.

  • Peel and Cleavage Stress in Large Surface Lamination Assemblies

    The failure of a large surface lamination is a common sight; everyone can relate to a table with a peeling edge band or a carpet tile with a loose corner. The source of this delamination is relatively clear: peel. Shear and tensile forces, while present, are often negligible due to the large bond area over which to disperse the load. Most large surface laminations involve attaching a flexible surface to a more rigid surface, resulting in peel. However, some large surface laminations bond two rigid materials together, such as composite panel constructions, where the stress is cleavage. ​
