3M's LSE Series VHB Tapes

     3M's LSE series of VHB tapes solve the problem of bonding low surface energy (LSE) plastics and composites. Where other solutions require additional support, such as a primer, VHB tape provides long-lasting results. These tapes bond composites and LSE plastics without primer, increasing productivity and reducing harmful chemicals in user facilities. Outstanding durability and broad temperature resistance ensure ultra-high performance strength and reliability for indoor and outdoor applications.

     3M VHB tape provides flexible bonding and allows thermal expansion up to three times its thickness, making it ideal for joining dissimilar materials. It exhibits excellent dynamic stress properties that exceed some structural bonds. Can be used on difficult-to-bond substrates, allowing customers to use lighter, thinner materials for breakthrough innovations in form and function. Supports durability and aesthetics while reducing weight.

     Recent advances in multi-material tapes and adhesives offer designers and manufacturers new options beyond traditional mechanical and thermal assembly methods. These robust assembly solutions for a variety of materials, including composites and LSE plastics, help customers optimize designs and increase line flexibility.
