Mounting and Attachment
Find out how 3M bonding solutions help eliminate tedious steps for strong, smarter designs.
Beyond strong, even when bonding dissimilar substrates
Design without barriers with bonding solutions that provide optimal performance in any environment. 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes allow you to achieve a sleek finish for your mounting assemblies and attachments without compromising on strength. Mount small metal components or fix plastic parts securely with just a thin layer of industrial adhesive.
Adaptable to thermal changes and resistant to most solvents, 3M adhesives hold against shear stress and redistribute dead loads along bonded areas for enhanced durability. Eliminate additional steps like fixturing, as adhered parts can be repositioned easily.
Enjoy a seamless design and expand your design capabilities with 3M’s range of bonding and assembly solutions:
Design challenges associated with mounting and attaching parts
-
-
Aesthetics
Mount nameplates, hang small signs and attach small parts invisibly for a clean appearance. Open your design possibilities for creating products with a seamless finish, uninterrupted by screws or weld marks with 3M adhesives and tapes.
-
Bonding dissimilar materials
Effectively join two or more different substrates of varying surface energies together. 3M Industrial Tapes and Adhesives conform to the shape of the bond area to form high-strength attachments.
Design confidently with the trusted solution
Streamline your processes and achieve greater cost-efficiency with adhesives and tapes that deliver reliable bonding for any design. Contact our experts to tailor a solution for your assembly needs.
