3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-060WF is a double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with a conformable, foam core delivering a total thickness of 25 mil (0.6 mm) when applied that was developed specifically for LSE substrates, such as polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and thermoplastic olefins (TPO). It creates a long-lasting, high-strength bond without the use of primer or promoter while offering the versatility to join dissimilar and delicate materials that would typically call for specialized ultrasonic welding equipment. This helps reduce upfront and incremental investments, simply the assembly process, and eliminate post-weld finishing operations that require extensive training within the labor force. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production times that removing the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. Offering seamless joining, this easy-to-use bonding method keeps surfaces smooth and provide an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly for long-term durability. It performs in applications for short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C), as well as offering high initial tack at low temperatures on frost-free surfaces down to 32 °F (0 °C). These attributes make 3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-060WF a reliable choice to take on a variety of bonding and sealing applications in specialty vehicle, appliance, signage, outdoor power equipment, and general industrial. Discover the many ways to apply the powerful bonding potential of 3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-060WF.
Dream, Design, Deliver with the LSE Family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes
The 3M VHB Tape LSE Series masters the challenge of low surface energy (LSE) bonding and delivers durable results where other bonding solutions need additional support on special surface treatment. It offers a superior bonding performance without primer on difficult to bond substrates such as PP, TPO, TPE, and composite materials. By eliminating the need for priming in your production, the LSE Series increases productivity and reduces the use of harmful chemicals in your facilities. Excellent durability including its wide temperature resistance ensure ultimate performance strength and reliability for in- and outdoor applications. The fast and easy to use permanent bonding method provides high strength and offers design flexibility with its viscoelasticity, making it an ideal fit for multi material bonding due to his properties on thermal expansion.
The LSE family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes utilizes modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable, adhesive foam core. The combination of strength, conformability and adhesion makes this family one of the most capable and well-rounded 3M™ VHB™ Tapes. It masters the challenge of low surface energy (LSE) bonding and delivers durable results where other solutions need additional support on special surface treatment. It offers superior bonding performance on difficult to bond substrates such as PP, TPO, TPE, and composite materials including glass filled plastics, glass and carbon reinforced or gel coated composites as well as most polyester paints without primer. It also bonds well to many MSE plastics and metals. The modified acrylic construction makes the 3M VHB Tape LSE Series resist hot, cold and cycling temperatures, UV light, moisture and solvents and seals against environmental conditions. Its performance in a wide temperature range provides a durable alternative to rivets, welds and screws. 3M VHB Tape permanently adheres one substrate to another and spreads the stress load across the entire length of the joint. The soft foam features excellent stress relaxation and gap filling which allows for a more complete bond contact area when bonding rigid or irregular materials. This will give you a flexible bond that resists dynamic stresses. The 3M VHB Tape LSE Series is designed for multi material bonding as it offers versatile performance at various temperatures on MSE and LSE surfaces that allows for thermal expansion when bonding dissimilar materials. The temperature resistance of +100 °C in long term and +150 °C in short term bonding results in an excellent durability both, indoors and outdoors across a wide range of applications and industries. It further provides high initial tack at low temperatures on frost free surfaces down to 0 °C. Benefit from faster and reliable bonds in cold areas and seasons such as in outdoor applications on site or unheated factories.
Applications for this tape include bonding and sealing of panel to frame and stiffener to panel applications especially in transportation, signage and appliances markets. Discover new possibilities of design engineering and improve aesthetics and productivity.
