Application Ideas • Long term bonding of graphic nameplates and overlays to surfaces such
as metal and low surface energy plastics in the aerospace, medical and
industrial equipment, automotive, appliance and electronic markets.

• Bonding metal nameplates and rating plates in the aerospace, medical

and industrial equipment, automotive, appliance and electronic markets.
• Lamination to foam for gasket application.

Environmental Humidity Resistance – High humidity has a minimal effect on

Performance adhesive performance. Bond strength (is generally higher/shows no
significant reduction) after exposure for 7 days at 90⁰F (32⁰C) and
90% relative humidity.

UV Resistance – When properly applied, nameplates and decorative

trim parts are not adversely affected by outdoor exposure.

Water Resistance – Immersion in water has no appreciable effect

on the bond strength. After 100 hours at room temperature, the
high bond strength (increases/is maintained).

Temperature Cycling Resistance – High bond strength (is

maintained/increases) after cycling four times through:
4 hours at 158⁰F (70⁰C)
4 hours at -20⁰F (-29⁰C)
4 hours at 73⁰F (22⁰C)

Chemical Resistance – When properly applied, nameplate and

decorative trim parts will hold securely after exposure to numerous
chemicals including oil, mild acids and alkalis.

Bond Build-up: The bond strength of 3M™ Adhesive 300 increases

as a function of time and temperature.

Temperature/Heat Resistance: Adhesive 300 is usable for short

periods (minutes, hours) at temperatures up to 250⁰F (120⁰C) and
for intermittent longer periods (days, weeks) up to 150⁰F (65⁰C).

Lower Temperature Service Limit: -40F (-40⁰C)

Application Techniques For maximum bond strength (during installation of the final part) the surface should
be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical cleaning solvents are heptane (for oily
surfaces) or isopropyl alcohol for plastics. Use reagent grade solvents since
common household materials like rubbing alcohol frequently contain oils to
minimize the drying effect on skin. These oils can interfere with the performance of
a pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Consult solvent manufacturers MSDS for proper handling and storage instructions.
Also, use disposable wipes that do not contain oils, to remove the cleaning solvents.

It is necessary to provide pressure during lamination (1.5-20 PLI recommended) and

during final part installation (10-15 PLI) to allow to adhesive the come into direct
contact with the substrate. Using a hard edged plastic tool, which is the full width of
the laminated part, helps to provide the necessary pressure at the point of
lamination. Heat can increase bond strength when bonding to metal parts (generally
this same increase is observed at room temperature over longer times, weeks). For
plastic parts, the bond strength is not enhanced with the addition of heat.

The ideal adhesive application temperature range is 70°F (21°C) to 100°F (38°C).
Application is not recommended if the surface temperature is below 50°F (10°C)
because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. Once properly applied, at
the recommended application temperature, low temperature holding is generally
satisfactory (refer to the Typical Physical Properties and Performance
Characteristics section).

When bonding a thin, smooth, flexible material to a smooth surface, it is generally

acceptable to use 2 mils of adhesive. If a texture is visible on one or both surfaces,
the 5 mil adhesive would be suggested. If both materials are rigid, it may be
necessary to use a thicker adhesive to successfully bond the components. 3M™
VHB™ Acrylic Foam Tapes may be required (refer to data page 70-0709-3863-7).

Application Equipment To apply adhesives in a wide web format, lamination equipment is required to
ensure acceptable quality. To learn more about working with pressure-
sensitive adhesives please refer to technical bulletin, Lamination Techniques
for Converters of Laminating Adhesives (70-0704-1430-8).
