Attaching, Bonding & Fastening

With 3M adhesives, topcoats, facestocks, and liners, you can mix and match for about 150,000 combinations of label materials. That means solutions for most brace labeling requirements such as identification, certification, information, warning, and tracking. RFID labels contain a microchip that stores and broadcasts details of the labeled item.

3M™ Bonding Films
3M™ Bonding Films offer the benefits of a film adhesive with the reworkability of a hot melt adhesive. Bonding films can bond in seconds, allow for a controlled uniform thickness and can be die cut to precise intricate shapes.

3M™ Double Coated Tapes
3M™ Double-Coated Tapes offer a winning combination of performance and productivity. They deliver the flexibility and easy-handling properties of an adhesive transfer tape with the stability and die-cutting capability of a double-coated tape.

3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners
Hundreds of mushroom-shaped stems interlock with one another forming a "positive" lock with excellent tensile strength results so you can replace unsightly mechanical fasteners in many applications. 3M™ Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners can be opened and closed hundreds of times.

3M™ Industrial Adhesives
Today's sophisticated electronics manufacturing and assembly applications require reliable bonds and seals. 3M™ Liquid Epoxy Adhesives, including 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxies and 3M™ Jet-melt™ Adhesives, deliver the performance and cost efficiencies you need for a broad spectrum of applications.

3M™ Light Cure Adhesives
Create an adhesive bond instantaneously with 3M™ Light Cure Adhesive. This high viscosity adhesive usually cures in less than 10 seconds, forming a flexible bond, reducing processing times for many applications.

3M™ Plastic Bonding Adhesives
Reduce costs, streamline assembly, and improve yield with 3M™ Plastic Bonding Adhesive 2665. Based on hot-melt, moisture-curing adhesive technology, it delivers a long open time for easy assembly of parts requiring a thin bond line.

3M™ Scotchmate™ Reclosable Fasteners
When your product calls for thousands of easy openings and closings, 3M™ Scotchmate™ Reclosable Fasteners pull through for you. Tiny, stiff hooks mesh with pliable loops for quick secure fastening. In addition, Scotchmate reclosable fasteners are available backed with 3M adhesive or as plain back product.

3M™ Thermal Interface Materials
3M™ Thermal Interface Materials, which includes tapes, pads and epoxies, provide high thermal conductivity by focusing on the two areas that matter most: bulk conductivity and interface conductivity. They address a crucial problem with today's low-power electronic devices - the need to dissipate the sizable amounts of heat being generated.

3M™ VHB™ Adhesive Transfer Tapes
3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tapes are available on a rotary die-cuttable paper liner for efficiency. These adhesives give you the adhesive power customers demand for die cut graphic attachment and many other high performance industrial applications.

3M™ VHB™ Tapes
For over 25 years, engineers have been specifying 3M™ VHB™ Tapes to permanently bond and seal many metals, plastics and other surfaces for increased productivity, high strength, long term durability and improved appearance.
