  • City view of colourful signages in a bustling city

    Signage

    3M helps you attach signs (highway signs, nameplates, vending machine windows, display cases and more) without mechanical fasteners. You’ll also be able to bond glass and certain plastics with virtually invisible bonds for better aesthetics, and resist bimetallic corrosion by keeping substrates separate.

Applications involved: 

  • Panel to frame attachment for small and large signage applications
    Panel-to-Frame
  • How to use 3M tape for mounting and trim attachment for signage applications
    Mounting and Trim Attachment
  • Sealing and fabricating parts for large automotive applications.

3M Solutions you’ll need: 

  • provide over 1000 psi of overlap shear strength. 
  • allow for thermal expansion and contraction. 
  • provide good holding strength, and are separable from signs for periodic use. 
  • Large container heavy vehicle driving off on the highway against the evening sky.

    Specialty Vehicles

    Specialty vehicles (semi-trailers, box trucks, ambulances, fire trucks etc) need road-worthy bonding solutions to withstand weather, extreme temperature fluctuations and constant vibrations. Besides clean designs, they also require final structural strength to meet specific assembly challenges.

Applications involved: 

  • Panel to frame attachment for speciality vehicle applications
    Panel-to-Frame
  • Large surface lamination of interiors and structures in speciality vehicles.

3M Solutions you’ll need: 

  • provide over 1000 psi of overlap shear strength.  
  • tallow for thermal expansion and contraction. 
  • for spraying, brushing or rolling onto large areas.
