Transportation Adhesive Assembly Solution
Speed up assembly times and reduce weight for Transportation and Aircraft Manufacturing.
Keep modern designs moving in ever-changing conditions with corrosion resistance and lighter weight.
Unpredictable weather, chemicals, and UV light are key considerations when assembling transportation vehicles. With 3M Bonding and Assembly solutions, you can take these challenges head on, and more.
-
- Bond dissimilar materials that withstand the elements for modern designs
- Streamline processes and save time without the need for screws, rivets, and welds
- Reduce weight by eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners
- Corrosion resistance ensures that vehicles function in harsh environments
Transportation Industry Applications
-
Automotive – Display Panels3M solutions bond dissimilar materials and provide an invisible, thin, and clear lock for optimal touch screen sensitivity.
