Fundamentals of Adhesion
Selecting the proper adhesives for a
nameplate, label or membrane switch
application requires consideration of
environmental, surface, appearance and
other performance requirements. Our
purpose here is to cover some of the
principles of adhesion.

Adhesion is the molecular force of

attraction between unlike materials.
The strength of attraction is determined
by the surface energy of the material.
The higher the surface energy, the
greater the molecular attraction. The
lower the surface energy, the weaker
the attractive forces.

Surface contact is fundamental to

adhesive performance. To maximize
adhesive contact on a surface:

In comparison, water beads up into small

spheres on a freshly waxed car. It is an
example of low surface energy the
liquid (or adhesive) does not flow out.
Surface energy is measured by dynes per
centimeter. The dyne level is the actual
reading of the critical surface tension.
Modified acrylic and synthetic adhesives
with better flow (or wet-out)
characteristics have been developed
to adhere to low surface energy
substrates. The Surface Energy Chart
below compares the relative surface
energy of commonly used substrates.

Greater molecular attraction results

in increased contact between an
adhesive and substrate. In other words,
for a high surface energy material, the
adhesive can flow (or wet-out) to
assure a stronger bond.

It must be dry and free of contaminates.

Firm pressure must be applied to
increase the flow and contact of the
adhesive with the substrate.
Time and temperature will increase the
surface contact and adhesion values.
Oil contaminated materials may be
addressed with the 3M Adhesive
300LSE or 350 families.

Consider an automobile that has not

been waxed for a long time. When water
contacts the surface, it spreads in large
puddles. The unwaxed car surface exhibits
high surface energy the molecular
attraction allows the water to flow.

3M High Performance Acrylic

Adhesive 200MP will not readily adhere
to substrates categorized as having low
surface energy. However, 3M acrylic
adhesives have been designed to adhere
to low surface energy plastics, and should
be considered for those applications.

Considerations When Selecting the Right

3M Bonding Tapes for Your Product and Process

What materials are you bonding?

How will the assembly be used?
Type of substrate or hard-to-bond materials
Bonding dissimilar materials
Configuration of your part (design/shape)
Appearance and aesthetic considerations
Need for disassembly for maintenance or service
31

3M Adhesive

How the product will be processed?

Need high-speed bonding
Need to be able to reposition
Will be subjected to vibration
Requires heat and/or pressure for bonding
Desire to cut costs/increase
production/simplify operation

How do you need the adhesive

to perform?
Match strength to stresses/combination of stresses:
Tensile, Shear, Cleavage and Peel
Flexibility
Maintain surface integrity
Permanent bond
Resist heat and/or moisture
Bond and seal
Reduce risk of bimetallic corrosion and/or rust

Will the assembly be exposed to

harsh environmental conditions?
Very low or very high temperatures
High humidity
Chemicals
Water
Dirt/dust

31

Aesthetics and Surface Integrity

With uniform stress distribution of adhesives and tapes,
lighter, thinner materials can be used without concerns
about distortion, splitting, or crazing at the mechanically
fastened site. Elimination of holes in metal also reduces
the chances for rust and corrosion.

32

Bonds Subjected to Vibration

The viscoelasticity of many 3M adhesives and tapes
improves resistance to vibration fatigue by imparting
flexibility to a joint or bonded area.

3M Converter Markets | www.3M.com/converter

Bonding Tapes

Different design challenges require different solutions.

Illustration of potential stress on bonded joints.
37

Tensile is pull exerted equally over the entire

joint. Pull direction is straight and away from the
adhesive bond.
38

33

13

Shear is pull directed across the adhesive, forcing

the substrates to slide over each other.

34
39

Cleavage is pull concentrated at one edge of the

joint, exerting a prying force on the bond. The other
edge of the joint is theoretically under zero stress.
40

35

41

Peel is concentrated along a thin line at the edge of

the bond where one substrate is flexible. The line is
the exact point where an adhesive would separate if
the flexible surface were peeled away from its mating
surface. Once peeling has begun, the stress line stays
out in front of the advancing bond separation.

3M Primers Selection Guide

For some applications, it is important to use a primer to provide the highest level of performance possible or in the case of difficult
substrates like EPDM. Examples include: using 3M VHB Tape for glazing in exterior faade, assembling metal cargo vans with
3M VHB Tape, and bonding durably to EPDM. The information below is a general guideline on primers by substrate. Evaluation of
these primers should be completed on the exact substrate being used in the application to ensure that the final bond meets all of the
requirements of the application.

Polyester films exhibit excellent

water and moisture barrier
properties making it an ideal
face stock for durable label
applications. Able to withstand
higher temperatures, polyester
has excellent dimensional
stability and tensile strength.
High quality overlaminate films
utilize polyester for its optimal
clarity. Compatible with a wide
range of coatings, polyester film
is commonly used in a wide range
of printing applications including
thermal transfer, laser, UV inkjet,
flexographic and screen print
processes.

3M Commercial Graphics Glossary

3M Comply Adhesive

3M brand name for a characteristic that permits air bubbles to escape through channels in the adhesive as a
film is being applied.

3M Controltac Graphic Film

3M brand name for films with pressure-activated adhesive that is slideable and repositionable until pressure
bonds it to the substrate.

3M Scotchcal Graphic Film

3M brand name for films with pressure-sensitive adhesive that bonds upon contact.

3M Scotchcal Overlaminate

3M brand name for a transparent film that can enhance or change the gloss of a graphic as well as provide
resistance to dirt, abrasion and harmful UV light.

3M Scotchlite Reflective
Graphic Film

3M brand name for a retroreflective film that allows a graphic to be clearly seen in low or no ambient light
situations when a light source is directed at it from a point near the viewers location.

Cast Film

Highest quality vinyl film for the best in image quality, conformability, dimensional stability and durability.

Changeable Film

Can be removed without heat or chemicals and leaves little or no adhesive residue.

Compound Curves

A surface with three-dimensional curves.

Conformable

A feature in some graphic films that allows it to conform around curves and rivets.

Perforated

A grid of small holes found in some printable films that allows an image to be seen on one side of a clear
substrate, but allows a viewer to see through the film from the other side.

Permanent Adhesive

Adhesive that is not intended to be removable.

Positionable or Repositionable
(As used in 3M Controltac
Graphic Films only)

Light finger pressure may be used to tack the film in place to check for proper positioning and then repositioned
if necessary. Firm pressure applied by any means, as well as high application temperature or removing and
trying to reapply any liner, eliminates this feature.

Pressure-Activated Adhesive
(As used in 3M Controltac
Graphic Films)

Slideable, positionable and repositionable until firm pressure is applied with hand, squeegee or other application
tool. Incompletely dried solvent in piezo inkjet printed film may reduce the slideability. An applied film cannot be
moved to another position.

Pressure-Activated Adhesive
(As used in 3M Scotchlite
Graphic Films 680/680CR)

Slideable until firm pressure is applied with hand, squeegee or other application tool. Incompletely dried solvent

Selecting the Right Product for the Job

To help you make sure you find the optimum 3M tape
or other adhesive-backed product for your particular
application, youll want to consider several factors:
Backing material
Adhesive type
Application time and temperature
Surface characteristics
(e.g., roughness, surface energy, contours, etc.)
End use conditions
(e.g., temperature, UV exposure, abrasion, etc.)
The information on these two pages integrates those
factors to help you narrow your selection to fewer
products for a more in-depth evaluation.

3M Backing Materials
In many applications, 3M backings add a second
surface that affects how the underlying surface relates
to the environment.
To optimize that relationship, 3M backings offer a wide
choice of performance and handling characteristics.
3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
Most of the products in this section feature a 3M
pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds the backing
to another surface on contact. Each adhesive has
different characteristics that affect production and
end use performance.

3M Repulpable Tapes
To achieve true quality, a tape must meet all your needs. Outstanding strength is not enough. The tape must be easy to use, easy to choose,
readily available and fully repulpable. Weve built our reputation as an industry leader by being responsive to the increasingly complex
needs of paper producers. Today, our customer base consists of clients who demand no less of their product than we demand of ours.

1 Type 400 is not recommended to be engaged to other type 400 fasteners. As well, type 170 should not be engaged with type 170. Engagement strength is dependent upon the
area engaged and number of stems engaged.
2 The actual 3M Dual Lock area available for (dis)engagement may be less than the part dimension. This should be taken into consideration when designing how much
3M Dual Lock will be required for a specific application.
3 E ngaged thickness is for the shown product engaged to 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners SJ3781 (a type 250 Dual Lock with an acrylic adhesive backcoating). You can mix
products with different backcoatings (standard pressure sensitive adhesives or via our 3M Dual Lock Mix and Match Program) to obtain a greater variety of engaged thicknesses.
Any of these 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners can be engaged with 3M Scotchmate Reclosable Fasteners, providing a quick grab closure with high strength and limited life.

This technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.

Notes:
Suggest 4 square inches of fastener per pound of load as a starting point for evaluation of long term performance. Suggest Type 250 engaged to Type 250 as a starting point for evaluations.
Tensile strength increases approximately in the following order: 170/250 <250/250 170/400 < 250/400.
The information provided is considered representative only for use in narrowing the possibilities of 3M Dual Lock piece parts to be considered for further evaluation, and should not be used for
specification purposes.
User is responsible for determining whether the 3M product is fit for the desired end use. Refer to specific product technical data sheets for more detailed product performance information.
All 3M Dual Lock Piece parts are comprised completely of black polypropylene.

Flexographic Mounting Systems

Ensure Superior

Print Quality

For halftone work where dot gain is a concern, softer tapes optimize
reproduction. When solids and dots share the plate, a combination
tape can properly balance the result. When your customer wants
solid ink and crisp lines, youll want firm, high density mounting tape.
3M offers a wide selection of adhesives, foams and thickness for the
superior print quality your customers demand.

E-Series Tapes with Easy Mount Adhesive

EH-Series Adhesive to
Hold the Edge on Small
Diameter Cylinders

On Easy with Reduced Air Entrapment

Unlike flat or pebbled liners, E-Series liners are cross-hatched on both sides with
unique microchannels that allow air to flow throughout the adhesive. Improved
airflow virtually eliminates air bubble problems for easier application. Air releases
from between the tape and plate, and between the tape and cylinder or sleeve for
virtually bubble-free mounting. Setup is faster with smoother surfaces for cleaner
print quality and higher productivity.

3M EH-Series Tapes combine the air-release

of 3M E-Series Tapes with higher plate side
adhesion to resist edge lifting on cylinder
diameters as small as 2 inches.
