Made of double-sided acrylic foam, the 3M VHB tape LSE series reportedly creates a long-lasting, high-strength bond and performs well across a wide temperature range, providing a durable alternative to ultrasonic welding and other adhesion methods.
The 3M VHB™ tape LSE series is reportedly a fast, easy, and reliable bonding solution for low-surface-energy (LSE) substrates like polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic olefins (TPO), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), as well as composite materials like glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) or fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). Made of double-sided acrylic foam, the tape creates a long-lasting, high-strength bond and performs well across a wide temperature range, providing a durable alternative to ultrasonic welding and other adhesion methods.
Bonding LSE plastics can be a challenge because the plastic-to-plastic bond needed isn’t sticky enough without encountering costly, time-consuming priming or adhesion promoters, unpleasant odors, and countless other process steps. These challenges can inhibit the bonding of composites and LSE plastics and ultimately alter the creative design process.
