When choosing an adhesive, there are multiple factors to consider. First, you must know the basic properties (including the surface energy) of the substrates you wish to bond. To form a secure bond, the surface energy of the substrate must be higher than that of the adhesive. This guide, which provides in-depth information on 3Ms low surface energy tapes and adhesives, walks you through the basics of choosing a pressure sensitive adhesive for your low surface energy bonding application.
