ADHESIVE TAPES VS TRADITIONAL FIXINGS
Adhesives and tapes are becoming the first choice for joining in the manufacturing process, either as a standalone bond or in conjunction with standard fixings. Why choose 3M adhesives over traditional bonding methods? While there are several ways to design and manufacture products, 3M adhesives and tapes offer unique benefits compared to welding and mechanical fastening.
Adhesives and tapes can provide multiple benefits as an alternative to the traditional methods. Tapes provide a consistent bond thickness and size. They offer immediate handling strength to enable easy assembly and come in multiple formats providing design and production flexibility. In addition to formats, tapes and adhesives come in a variety of strengths to match a wide range of substrate and design needs.
Industrial adhesives and tapes provide key benefits over other industrial assembly methods, including:
Eliminate drilling and holes to reduce labour costs and stress concentration
Use thinner, lightweight materials to reduce product weight and energy usage
Distribute stress evenly across the bond to optimise performance
Bond dissimilar materials to enable new designs and prevent corrosion
Bond and seal simultaneously to eliminate process steps
Reduce vibration in final product to enhance customer experience

WHICH PRODUCT SHOULD I USE? When selecting an adhesive for a job, you should consider what the bond must be able to withstand and what stresses the component will be exposed to in use. The temperature range, the influence of moisture, other chemical substances or UV radiation must also be considered. The process of choosing the right adhesive for your application can be daunting, so having experts on hand to provide guidance and advice will make the process simpler. Not only does the team at Cadillac Plastic have their own product knowledge and expertise developed over many years of experience, the team at 3M are also on hand to provide help in offering solutions for ‘difficult to stick’ applications, for your evaluation. So, no matter what your project or application is, Cadillac is on hand with the appropriate product.
