To start building your product, first determine which adhesive best meets your need.
Fundamentals of Adhesion Selecting the proper adhesives for a nameplate, label or membrane switch application requires consideration of environmental, surface, appearance and other performance requirements. Our purpose here is to cover some of the principles of adhesion. Surface contact is fundamental to adhesive performance. To maximize adhesive contact on a surface: • It must be dry and free of contaminates.
Adhesive Surface Contact Applying firm pressure to the bond increases adhesive flow and contact for more secure bonding. Time and temperature will typically further increase contact and adhesion values.

Bonding Tapes Enhanced appearance, improved performance, improved process...if you think these benefits can help you bring a better, more competitive product to market, you’ll want to evaluate the many pressure sensitive adhesive bonding tapes from 3M. Bonding tapes have pressure sensitive adhesive on two sides to bond mating surfaces with strength that ranges from permanent to repositionable. Substrates range from metal to paper.

Flexographic Mounting Systems When your customer wants solid ink and crisp lines, you’ll want firm, high density mounting tape. For halftone work where dot gain is a concern, a softer tape optimizes reproduction. And, when solids and dots share the plate, a combination tape can properly balance the result. From the wide 3M selection, you can find the adhesives, foams, and thicknesses for the print quality that customers demand and expect.
