Rethink Possibilities With 3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE Series

  • Bonding low surface energy (LSE) plastics is challenging. Our new 3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE Series masters the challenge, delivering durable results where other solutions need additional support. These tapes bond composites and LSE plastics without a priming step, increasing productivity and reducing the use of harmful chemicals in your facilities. Excellent durability and wide temperature resistance ensure ultimate performance strength and reliability for indoor and outdoor applications.

    3M™ VHB™ Tape provides a flexible bond that allows for thermal expansion up to three times its thickness and is therefore ideal for joining dissimilar materials. It shows excellent dynamic stress performance that can even exceed certain structural bonds. By taking advantage of its ability to adhere to difficult-to-bond substrates, you can use lighter and thinner materials for groundbreaking innovations in form and function, supporting durability, aesthetics and weight reduction.

    Recent advances in multi-material tapes and adhesives provide designers and manufacturers new assembly options beyond traditional mechanical and thermal assembly methods. These strong, durable assembly solutions for various materials, including composites and LSE plastics, can help you optimize your design and increase flexibility on the manufacturing line.

    Rethink how you design and build.
