Q
3M adhesives and tapes are generally hidden between the bonded
substrates. Surfaces stay smooth and clean for a more attractive
appearance and less surface refinishing.
Q
Laminates of dissimilar materials can often produce combinations
superior in strength and performance to either substrate alone. The
flexibility of many 3M adhesives and tapes compensates for
differences in the coefficients of expansion between such materials
as aluminum and wood.
Q
The viscoelasticity of many 3M adhesives and tapes improves
resistance to vibration fatigue by imparting flexibility to a joint or
bonded area.
Q
Adhesives perform better with some part configurations than with
others. With the variety of 3M adhesive forms such as pastes, aerosol
sprays, and tapes, you should be able to find an adhesive to meet
the requirements of most parts that can be assembled with mechanical
or fusion fastening. A spray adhesive would be effective, for example,
to cover foam cushioning, but would not be a consideration for a
part with a narrow bonding area. For cleaner, more efficient
application, die-cut pressure sensitive adhesive foam tape can be
precisely placed on smaller, irregularly-shaped bonding surfaces.
Q
With many adhesives and tapes, continuous contact between mating
surfaces effectively bonds and seals against dirt, dust, water, and
other environmental conditions.
Adhesives and tapes also provide a film barrier to reduce or prevent
bimetallic corrosion that often occurs in bonding two different
types of metal.

Do you want to attach dissimilar substrates?
Will your part be subjected to vibration?
Is the design of your part right for adhesive bonding?
Do you want to bond and simultaneously seal between
the substrates?

Q
Some adhesives do not hold well when exposed to very low or
very high temperatures, high humidity, chemicals, or even water.
Other adhesives are specially formulated to resist harsh environments.
Q
In some instances, adhesive bonding can be slow and require critical
processing. Some epoxies, for example, require heat, pressure and
fixturing to bond metal to metal in structural strength assemblies.
With the wide range of 3M adhesives and tapes, however, a
variety of open times are available. Depending on your end use
requirements, you can select 3M pressure sensitive adhesives that
bond on contact or a 3M two-part paste adhesive with open times
ranging from 2 to 90 minutes. Repositionable formulations are
also available for repeated openings and closings.
Q
When assembled with most adhesives or tapes, parts are generally
difficult or virtually impossible to disassemble without damaging
the part. As an exception, hot melt adhesives can be reheated and
reused, but in most instances reuse would be messy and impractical.
As already noted, repositionable adhesives are available, but
application is restricted to lighter duty attachment or closure.
Reclosable fasteners are a hybrid technology using mechanical
fastening and pressure sensitive adhesive. The adhesive permanently
bonds two reclosable mating strips to the substrates that need to be
opened and closed. See pages 85 through 91 for details.
Q
With 3M adhesives and tapes, you can see cost reduction through
reduced material requirements, weight reductions, and elimination
of drilling, welding, screwing, finishing, and similar operations. In
most cases, adhesives require minimal training. And many adhesives
require little or no investment in major equipment.
Will your finished assembly be exposed to harsh
environmental conditions?
Do you need high speed bonding?
Does your part need to be disassembled for
maintenance or service?
Do you want to cut costs, increase production and
simplify your operation?
