Find out how 3M bonding solutions help eliminate tedious steps for strong, smarter designs.
Design without barriers with bonding solutions that provide optimal performance in any environment. 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes allow you to achieve a sleek finish for your mounting assemblies and attachments without compromising on strength. Mount small metal components or fix plastic parts securely with just a thin layer of industrial adhesive.
Adaptable to thermal changes and resistant to most solvents, 3M adhesives hold against shear stress and redistribute dead loads along bonded areas for enhanced durability. Eliminate additional steps like fixturing, as adhered parts can be repositioned easily.
Enjoy a seamless design and expand your design capabilities with 3M’s range of bonding and assembly solutions:
Examples include small signs, mirrors and white boards, and panel-over-panel with partial adhesive coverage.
Decoration or identification added to a surface. Examples included nameplates, edge banding, bezels, rosettes and muntin bars.
PRO TIP
When the application requires dynamic strength, designing the joint with a tongue-and-groove provides additional mechanical strength and stress dissipation upon impact. Structural adhesives can often be used for these applications to provide a permanent assembly.
