Applying 3M Scotch weld adhesive to rubber and metal gasket parts.

Gasket Attachment

Create flexible bonds for complex shapes and materials.

Solutions for pre-formed gasket attachment

Gaskets are substrates, typically foam, rubber or paper, that act as an interface or seal between two surfaces. Their assembly requires resistance to several fluids, high adhesion to difficult-to-bond surfaces, and fast and easy application.

Typical requirements for Gasket Attachment include:

Easy and fast application of tape or adhesive
Strong environmental and chemical resistance
High adhesion to foams, rubbers, and other difficult-to-bond substrates

Gasket Attachment Applications

View all industries

Plastic and rubber joints

Achieve full design flexibility by replacing mechanical fastening methods like screws, rivets, and welding.
Manufacturing Piping

Bonds that remain durable in harsh environments, withstanding liquids, most chemicals, and high temperatures.
Metalworking

Work with machinery and parts that are heavily loaded and subject to friction, without compromising strong bond strength.
