Double Sided Tapes

Enable strength, conformability, adhesion and aesthetic requirements you need when bonding both similar and dissimilar substrates.

Features of 3M's Industrial Double Sided Tapes

While the characteristics of tape families and individual tapes vary, double sided tapes generally offer these benefits to your production:

  • A set of icons featuring the benefits of Double Sided Tapes

Faster Assembly Time

Apply by hand or with automation, with no adhesive cure time or mechanical fastenings for 300MP tapes.

Design Flexibility

Achieve invisible bond lines with conformability and better gap filling, with greater design flexibility for HSE bonds on 200MP tapes.

Immediate Handling Strength

Enable immediate handling strength with no cure time, handle and move assembled parts immediately with 300LSE tapes.

Bond LSE Materials

Bond efficiently to Low Surface Energy (LSE) materials such as plastics and paints with Double Sided VHB and LSE tapes.

Clean Aesthetics

Virtually invisible bond lines without protruding fasteners and reduced product bulk with thinner, lighter materials with 3M VHB tapes.

Prevent Moisture Intrusion

Prevent moisture from crossing the bond line, provide adhesion to both substrates across the entire bond area with chemical resistant tapes.
