Efficiency, strength, and versatility for your designs
Go beyond the limitations of mechanical fasteners
-
Create cutting-edge designs that last and stay relevant with 3M Industrial Tapes and Adhesives. The advanced and trusted technology creates high bond strength, even when attaching challenging materials. Combine lighter materials without worry about distorting or damaging it under a heavier load. Eliminating the use of mechanical fasteners also streamlines the production process. Using tapes and adhesives, you could skip the extra steps of preparing and finishing the surfaces, especially when bonding oily metals. These bonding and assembly solutions gives you the freedom to design and deliver innovative products.
Find out how your common design challenges can be addressed:
Bonding and assembly requirements for common application areas
-
Sporting goods - gears and golf clubs- Low-viscosity liquids flows easily into small crevices to bond effectively
- Withstands stresses and transfers energy for optimal performance
- Conveniently bonds dissimilar and low surface energy materials
-
Energy device - solar panel stands- Maintains elasticity despite changing weather conditions for a bond that lasts
- Reduce weight without the need for screws and rivets so it can be transported or mounted on roofs easily
- Easy to apply for a faster assembly process
-
Door panels- Maintains elasticity for thermal expansions during weather changes for a lasting bond
- Invisible bonds for improved aesthetics
- Easy to apply, it speeds up the production process
-
HVAC – tank exterior- Improve product aesthetics with invisible joints
- Holding power is strong even under load bearing stress
- Easy to apply for a quicker assembly
