3M LAMINATING ADHESIVES
]
3M offers the largest selection of high quality laminating adhesive products in the graphic attachment industry. Whether you
need resistance to heat, humidity, chemicals, abrasion, slippage, or edge peel, our broad range of products has earned the trust of
converters everywhere. Our full line of adhesive products includes many solvent-free adhesives that use advanced formulations.
In addition, each adhesive is specially engineered to provide a full range of performance characteristics.
100MP HIGHEST PERFORMANCE ACRYLIC
This adhesive is designed for temperature exposure up to
500°F (short term) and/or high solvent resistance. It offers
exceptional shear strength even at elevated temperatures.
200MP HIGH PERFORMANCE ACRYLIC
This solvent-free industry standard adhesive provides
excellent overall performance with exceptional temperature
(to 400°F short term) and chemical resistance. It provides
high bond strength to most metal and HSE (high-surface-
energy) plastics along with excellent shear strength to
resist slippage and edge lifting. It offers short-term
repositionability on plastics for placement accuracy.
220 INDUSTRIAL ACRYLIC
This solvent-free adhesive is formulated for general purpose
industrial applications and will withstand temperatures up
to 350°F. Properties include good shear strength, good
chemical resistance, and good adhesion to metals and HSE
plastics. This is an excellent adhesive to replace competition
in many applications.
300 HIGH STRENGTH ACRYLIC
This adhesive is ideal for applications requiring greater
initial adhesion, especially to LSE (low-surface-energy)
plastic substrates. Its ability to flow quickly makes this
adhesive ideal for laminating to textured plastic surfaces.
Temperature performance is up to 250°F (short term)
for most applications. Thin laminating adhesive products
are ideal for 3M’s unique label component system.
300MP HIGH STRENGTH ACRYLIC
This solvent-free adhesive is designed to bond to low-
surface-energy plastics and performs in temperatures up
to 250°F (short term).
300LSE HIGH STRENGTH ACRYLIC
This solvent-free adhesive provides a much higher peel
bond strength than 300MP adhesive to low-surface-energy
plastics such as polypropylene and polyethene. It has very
good chemical, humidity, and temperature (300°F short
term) resistance. It is the best choice for attaching graphics
to low-surface-energy substrates.
350 HIGH HOLDING ACRYLIC
This is a modified acrylic adhesive designed for high bond
strength to most plastics with excellent holding strength
even at high temperatures (up to 450°F short term).
SP7514 UV SCREEN PRINTABLE ADHESIVE
This UV screen printable adhesive eliminates VOC
emissions, won’t clog your screens, and allows for quick and
easy cleanup. It provides an exceptional balance of peel and
shear strength, and withstands temperatures up to 150°F,
making it an outstanding general purpose adhesive.
SP7533 SCREEN PRINTABLE ADHESIVE
This water-based screen printable adhesive provides
excellent UV resistance, high temperature resistance,
good peel and sheer strength, and soap and water cleanup.
