From fastening and bonding to labeling and surface protection - solutions for manufacturers of wheelchairs, beds, cots, cushions, and similar products for patient comfort, security, and mobility.
Bonding Look to 3M for the most versatile and comprehensive line of adhesives and tapes available. You'll find solutions for bonding materials such as metal, rubber, laminates, fabric, foam, and low surface energy plastics. Select bond strength in the range from repositionable to strength enough to replace screws, rivets, and welds.
Fastening Consider the hook and loop technology of 3M™ Scotchmate™ Reclosable Fasteners for patient handling products 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 requirements such as identification, certification, information, warning, tracking, and tamper-indication. RFID labels contain a microchip that stores and broadcasts details of the labeled item.
Protecting 3M™ Protective Tapes adhere and conform to protect product surfaces during production, packaging, shipping, and installation. Select from a variety of backing characteristics and tack levels. All remove cleanly by the end user.
Sound Damping For a quieter environment, 3M™ Sound Damping Foils quiet structure-borne noise and reduce vibration in metal and composite panels and support structures. Optimized acrylic polymer on dead soft aluminum converts vibrational energy to negligible heat that readily dissipates. Reduced vibration also lowers the risk of parts loosening and getting lost.
