Fastening, bonding, and labeling solutions for manufacturers of knee or ankle braces and similar products for rehabilitation, treatment, or prevention.
Bonding Look to 3M for the most versatile and comprehensive line of adhesives and tapes available. You'll find solutions for bonding brace materials such as metal, rubber, foam, and low surface energy plastics. Select bond strength in the range from repositionable to strength enough to replace screws and welds.
Fastening Consider the hook and loop technology of 3M™ Scotchmate™ Reclosable Fasteners for braces that require thousands of easy openings and closings. For hundreds of closures with greater holding power, the interlocking stems of 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners increase holding strength by up to five times.
Labeling 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.
