Product Categories for Bonding and Assembly
Behind every great design are fastenings that keep seams and joints secure, maintain flexibility where needed and provide a barrier to keep things out or in. 3M adhesives and tapes can complement or replace welding, screws and bolts, making your products stronger and more impermeable yet easy to assemble – with clean, sleek results.
-
High-strength double-sided acrylic foam tapes provide immediate strength and a long-lasting bond that actually builds strength over time.
-
Advanced strength and durability for the toughest bonding requirements with options to meet specific design and manufacturing needs.
-
Bond layers and even contours without liquids. Adhesive Transfer Tapes are pure adhesive while Double Coated Tapes can have different adhesives on each side of a carrier.
Featured Product Categories:
-
Strong and simple bonding for a wide range of substrates including metals, high-pressure laminates, plastic, insulation, foam, fabric, wood and more.
-
Detachable bonding options for situations that require a firm hold that can be separated and reclosed when necessary, over and over again.
Featured Product Categories:
-
Strong, flexible and durable bonds also fill gaps while keeping weather out and water and other chemicals on whichever side they belong.
-
The advantages of double sided tapes with a foam carrier to help absorb vibration, movement and thermal expansion.
-
A bonding solution that applies easily and with virtually no odor, yet hardens and reaches bond strength within seconds so assemblies can be moved.
