3M adhesives are available as liquids, pastes, tapes, films, and shaped solids. Each has characteristics to be considered for application effectiveness and efficiency.
Liquids and pastes readily fill voids to enhance mechanical adhesion. Many liquids can be sprayed to cover large areas.
Abrasives are ideal for heavy and high-pressure applications like weld removal, beveling, and other heavy grinding applications. There’s a 3M abrasive belt, disc, or wheel that could help boost productivity and safety in almost every application.
3M has been in business for over 100 years and entered the world of tape in 1925 when we invented masking tapes. 3M invention of Scotch Brand No. 33 Electrical Tape in the 1940s marked a new chapter for insulating electrical connections and for the past 70 years, groundbreaking improvements put 3M at the forefront of vinyl tape innovations.
