Attach and Seal Gaskets
Creates flexible bonds that conform to complex shapes and substrates.
Bonds that hold strong in extreme conditions
Gaskets are often held in place between different parts of a machine with pressure and friction. Subjected to such environments, the ideal gasket adhesive would be resistant to fluids, most chemicals, and able to withstand high temperatures. Design with confidence and expand your design capabilities with the help of 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes. The flexible adhesive bond outperforms the bonding capabilities of mechanical fasteners. It adapts to thermal changes and attaches hard-to-bond substrates efficiently without distorting or damaging the surface.
Challenging gasket attachments have now met its adhesive match. Explore the right adhesive for your gasket material.
Design challenges associated with attaching and sealing gaskets
