3M Double sided tapes can be customized by a converter to provide the precise shape you need for your final design. Learn more about 3M™ VHB™ Tapes and 3M™ Thin Bonding Tapes using the links below, or view specific products using the Products links.
Benefits of a Double Sided Tape
Our 3M Product Services
DOUBLE COATED TAPE
• Polyester film carrier provides
dimensional stability to foams
and other substrates to make
tape easier to handle during
slitting and die-cutting
• Excellent bond to low surface
energy substrates including
powder coatings and plastics
such as polypropylene (PP)
• High adhesion to metals and
high surface energy materials,
making it suitable for bonding
dissimilar substrates
• Adhesive provides excellent
holding power and anti-lifting
properties
ADHESIVE TRANSFER TAPE
• Excellent chemical resistance
and shear and peel strength
even at elevated temperatures
• Designed for short term temperature
exposure up to 450°F (232°C) and long term 300°F (149°C)
• Adhesive is fiber reinforced
for roll stability in narrow
widths and to resist oozing
• Low odor for improved working
environment
3M™ VHB™ TAPE
3M™ VHB™ Tape demonstrates
high strength and long-lasting
bonds. It is composed of a special
acrylic foam that provides
viscoelasticity and greater cohesive strength for demanding
applications.
Specific benefits of 3M™ VHB™
Tapes
include:
• Fatigue resistance
• Gap filling between substrates
• Accommodation of different
thermal expansion rates
• Vibration damping
THIN BONDING TAPE
Thin bonding enables the attachment
of different substrates
or composites using a
strong but very thin tape to
keep the overall profile as thin
as possible.
Specific benefits of 3M™ Double
Sided Tapes for Thin Bonding
include:
• Low profile in the finished
product
• Attach foam or fabric
• Conformable to irregular surfaces
• Clear tapes for display panels
and graphics
