3M's LSE series VHB tape solves the problem of bonding low surface energy (LSE) plastics and composites. In cases where other solutions require additional support, such as primer, VHB tape provides long-lasting results. These tapes bind composites and LSE plastics without primer, thereby increasing productivity and reducing harmful chemicals in user facilities. Excellent durability and extensive temperature resistance ensure ultra-high performance strength and reliability for indoor and outdoor applications.

     3M VHB tape offers flexible bonding that allows thermal expansion up to three times its thickness, making it ideal for connecting different materials. It exhibits excellent dynamic stress properties that can exceed certain structural bonding. It can be used on difficult-to-bond substrates, allowing customers to use lighter, thinner materials for radical innovation in form and function. Support durability and aesthetics, but also reduce weight.

     Recent advances in multi-material tapes and adhesives have provided designers and manufacturers with new options beyond traditional mechanical and thermal assembly methods. These rugged assembly solutions for a variety of materials, including composites and LSE plastics, help customers optimize designs and improve line flexibility.
