3M
At one time, adhesive and glue were used synonymously. In industry today, however, designers and engineers are using terms like two-part
low-odor acrylic, high bond tape, PUR systems, cyanoacrylate, and more. Glue is now considered to be something sticky which is no longer a
characteristic of many adhesives.
3M adhesives can be classified in several ways.
Classify by form
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.
Films and pressure sensitive tapes offer advantages unique to their form:
Hot melts are supplied as solid sticks, cartridges, pellets, or similar
shapes. Handling and storage is easy and neat.
Classify by strength
Another classification for industrial applications is by relative
strength and solidification process. Generally, those adhesives that
bond through a chemical reaction are stronger than those that bond
through a physical change.
Structural adhesives bond by chemical reaction.

a product. As a rule of thumb, structural strength adhesives reach a
minimum of 1,000 psi overlap shear strength. 3M formulations
include the following:
• Epoxy adhesives are available in one and two-part liquids and
• Cyanoacrylate adhesives are high strength liquid
• Uniform thickness throughout the joint.
• Confinement of the adhesive to the immediate bonding area.
• Clean bonding without dripping or overflow.
• Minimum adhesive waste.
• Die-cut into complex shapes to facilitate bonding of

variety of substrates including hard-to-bond plastics and
oily metals. The distinction is high strength bonding without
the surface preparation needed for epoxies and urethanes.
pastes that cure quickly to an elastic bond in applications requiring
flexibility between dissimilar materials. Impact resistance is
a distinctive characteristic.
formulations known as instant adhesives. On rigid plastic,
glass, metal, rubber, and other low porosity substrates, they
harden in seconds through reaction with surface moisture.

• Anaerobic adhesives are liquids that cure to a tough plastic in
Non-structural adhesives bond with a physical change.
Non-structural adhesives vary in strength from repositionable to
strength equal to or greater than the strength of the substrate being
bonded. These adhesives are typically less than 1000 psi and bond
materials in cushions, gaskets, insulation, veneers, and general
assembly. 3M formulations include the following:
Pressure sensitive adhesives
Pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) found in 3M tapes grip

conforms to surface irregularities.
