Find out how 3M adhesives and tapes help protect and seal surfaces quickly for easy handling.
For optimal results in your product designs, there must be no room for dirt or moisture. Fill gaps and fissures with 3M sealants and tapes that outperform soldering and welding methods. They maintain a durable, flexible bond even when exposed to extreme weather conditions or chemicals, and allow for joint movements. With their quick bond, shorter cure time and invisible fastening, you can enjoy a leaner, more cost-efficient manufacturing process and create cutting-edge designs confidently.
Whether it's sealing glass or plastic substrates, discover which is the best bonding solution for your needs:
Easy to apply with an applicator, adhesive sealants and tapes bond and seal in a single step, conforming to spaces to fill gaps. They set quickly for painting or handling.
Applied along the length of a seam, the low-viscosity liquid flows over and around a component easily, sealing it from moisture and dirt.
