Three decades of one of the most innovative adhesive technologies
ever manufactured will be celebrated by diversified technology
company 3M on stand 46 at the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics
Exhibition at Farnborough, 16-17 February 2011.
3M VHB Acrylic Foam Tapes were launched in 1981 as an alternative to
screws, rivets and welding, and are now a fastener of choice in
industries ranging from construction and transport to
telecommunications.
3M VHB Tapes are double-sided products which create a permanent bond
to numerous substrates including metal, glass, PVC, acrylic,
polycarbonate and polystyrene. Unlike mechanical fixings, the load
is spread evenly through the entire length of the joint, while the
product’s flexibility makes it equally suitable for dynamic loads as
well as static loads. It offers strong resistance to moisture,
solvents and UV light and can cope with extremes of temperature at
both ends of the range.
The VHB range has been continually enhanced since its launch,
reflecting 3M’s constant commitment to innovation and to developing
and growing its product portfolio to meet ever-changing customer
requirements.
Also on show will be a range of other products from the highly
innovative 3M range offering proven strength, reliability and
quality including 3M Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesives and 3M Dual
Lock Fasteners.
With outstanding cohesive strength and creep resistance, 3M
Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesives can permanently bond a range of
high-strength materials, with the potential to replace mechanical
and fusion fastening in many applications.
3M Dual Lock Fasteners use hundreds of mushroom-shaped stems that
interlock when pushed together to create remarkable strength but
allow the fasteners to be opened and closed hundreds of times while
maintaining the same tensile strength.
3M specialists will be on hand to provide technical support and
advice on applications, while stand visitors can also collect free
samples and enjoy interactive product demonstrations.
