Secure bonding. It’s all about adhesive surface contact.

Applying firm pressure to the bond increases adhesive flow and contact for more secure bonding.
Time and temperature will typically further increase contact and adhesion values.

Double Sided Tapes

Make your
design a reality.
Whether you’re bonding similar or different substrates,
our double sided tapes provide the strength, conformability,
adhesion and aesthetic requirements you need to make
your project successful.

3M.com/DoubleSidedTape

Bond glass to plastic.


Help make sales soar with anti-lifting,
drop-resistant 3M™ Double Coated
Tape 93015LE.
Tapes created for performance.
A double sided tape has pressure-sensitive adhesive exposed on both sides, allowing two parts to be bonded together by
the tape between them. A carrier that holds adhesive can range from a film as thin as a fraction of a millimeter up to a thick
foam that helps damp vibrations. Pressure sensitive adhesives can meet specific needs from low-tack, which allows for
repositioning, all the way up to permanent bonding solutions. A double sided tape that has a carrier can be produced with
the same adhesive on both sides, or with different adhesives to meet the bonding requirements of different substrates.

Benefits of a 3M™ Double Sided Tape.


While the characteristics of adhesive families and individual tapes vary, double sided tapes generally offer these benefits
to your production.

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. We’ve 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.

E-Series Tapes with EH-Series
3M™ Comply™ Adhesive System Tapes
The bubble-free answer. Tight hold for small cylinders.
E-Series Tapes were the first plate mounting tapes in the market with 3M™ EH-Series Tapes combine the air-
patented 3M™ Comply™ Adhesive System which virtually eliminates air release of 3M E-Series Tapes with higher
bubbles with the micro-channels in the adhesive. That means saving the plate side adhesion to resist edge lifting
mounter time and eliminating press down time caused by air bubbles. on cylinder diameters as small as 2 inches.

Stays on with reduced edge-lifting.
Exclusive 3M plate-side adhesive maintains tight contact between tape and plate to dramatically
reduce edge lifting. Saves the prep time, downtime, and labor of sealing plate edges.
Peels off easily to reduce plate damage.
E-series tapes grip tightly but peel off so easily you can virtually eliminate plate back
treatment. You’re less likely to damage plates, so you can save time, labor and money.
