Over the years, the American company 3M has become an international leader in the field of industrial production. The company has an abundance of products and innovative solutions for industry and everyday life. 3M is the only company in the world that offers all types of adhesive products When it comes to bonding, most people’s…
n 1956 year Yoshio Okada, the founder of the Japanese company OLFA, develops first in the world snap-off knife. The unique invention of Okada very quickly becomes the best selling and most recognizable product in the world. The length, width and angle of the blades developed by Yoshio Okada have become the world standard for the snap-off knives.
Industrial Marking Tapes Whatever industrial marking you need – on a wall, pipes or loading area, 3M can offer the right marking tape. The product range of specialized safety floor tape and walls contains tapes with different stability, flexibility and adaptability to improve visibility and safety in the working environment of factories, warehouses, hospitals and…
For a structural adhesive to be effective, it has to closely adhere to the surface, which, as previously mentioned, depends on a material’s surface energy. In order to bond well, an adhesive has to closely adhere to the surface, and to be able to do that, the surface has to allow good contact with the adhesive, which is something that low surface energy materials don’t do.
Plastics of all shapes and types have become indispensable in our everyday lives. If you look around, you will find that an increasing number of natural materials are being replaced by plastics. This has resulted in many technical challenges, one of the biggest being bonding.
When talking about plastics, we are actually using a term that covers a wide variety of synthetic and semi-synthetic organic compounds. What is interesting is that only a small portion of plastic materials is based on petrochemicals, while most are made from renewable resources such as polyacrylate, which is derived from corn or cotton.
Numerous tests of 3M’s double-sided tapes have been done by the 3M’s experts in order to prove the qualities of the VHB tapes. For testing the strength of the adhesive of the double-sided tapes, they used the open spaces in Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, and many others.
3M 8810 double-sided thermally conductive tape is designed to assure heat transfer path between heat generating components and heat sinks or other cooling devices aiming more efficiency. Guarantees strong bonding, good thermal conductivity, and electrical insulation.
The adhesives from the 200MP series are based on the 3M’s innovative technology. They are in the core of many long lasting double-sided products. Widely used in many industries, especially in electronics.
We offer you the opportunity to order one or double-sided tapes that meet your business’s needs. With the help of our new slitter machine, we can offer tapes in a customized sizes in short notice.
Each type of materials including plastics has a specific surface energy. It quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occurs when a substrates is created. The surface energy of plastics defines the adhesion strength,…
We all have experienced the situation when we were wondering how to join details with a different surface structure (metal with wood, plastic with metal, and others). At such moments, we often face the following problem: glues or double-sided tapes do not help as they promise.
