Pressure-sensitive adhesives on a liner without a carrier. They transfer a thin layer of adhesive to smooth substrates.
Cost-efficient film tapes with rubber or high-tack acrylic adhesive on both sides for quick, permanent bonding on relatively smooth surfaces.
Double-sided PE foam tapes with high-tack permanent adhesive help level uneven materials, fill gaps, and create stronger bonds on textured surfaces.
High performance pressure sensitive adhesive tapes, like 3M™ VHB™, replace mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives in permanent bonding applications.
