Dual Lock
™
Reclosable Fasteners are pressed together, hundreds of
mushroom-shaped stems interlock with one another. An audible “snap” announces that
the fastener is locked. Excellent tensile strength results so you can replace unsightly
mechanical fasteners in many applications. Dual Lock fasteners can be opened and
closed hundreds of times.
• Plasticizer and moisture resistant
• UV resistant
• Solvent resistant
• Excellent tensile strength
• Reclosable
• Adhesive-backed formulations for
bonds—20ºF(-29ºC) to 200ºF(93ºC).
Flexible foam carriers fill gaps and help bond irregular surfaces. In bonding rough or
irregular surfaces, 3M
™
Double Coated Foam Tapes fill gaps and distribute stress
uniformly over the bonded area. Depending on the specific tape, the result is a bond
line that seals, cushions and dampens vibration; resists impact; withstands a wide
temperature range; and provides good insulating qualities. To meet your requirements,
you can select from rubber or acrylic adhesive, and a choice of different foam carriers:
urethane, vinyl, elastomeric, polyethylene, or neoprene. These tapes can be applied by
hand or with one of 3M’s tape dispensing systems.
3M

VHB
™
Tapes can replace rivets, screws, and other mechanical fastening devices.
High-strength VHB tapes are used throughout industry to replace mechanical fastening
for permanent assembly in many applications. To help meet your assembly and
production requirements, consider 3M
™
VHB Adhesive Transfer Tape or 3M
™
VHB
Double Coated Acrylic Foam Tape. With transfer tape, a thin dry strip of permanent
pressure-sensitive adhesive is transferred from a liner to the surface to be bonded, ready
to use. The foam carrier of VHB foam tapes help provide higher strength, handling
convenience, cushioning, and damping and impact resistance. “VHB+” foam tapes bond
a wider range of materials. More conformable foam helps improve void filling and
flexibility, and application temperatures can be lower.
