Performance (such as aluminum) to an aluminum test surface.
Bond Build-up: The bond strength of 3Mâ„? Adhesive 300 increased as a function of
time and temperature and has very high initial adhesion.
Humidity Resistance: High humidity has minimal effect on adhesive performance.
Bond strengths are generally higher after exposure for 7 days at 90°F (32°C) and 90%
relative humidity.
U.V. Resistance: When properly applied, nameplates and decorative trim parts are not
adversely affected by exposure.
Water Resistance: Immersion in water has no appreciable effect on the bond strength.
After 100 hours at room temperature, the bond actually shows an increase in strength.
Temperature Cycling Resistance: Bond strength generally increases after cycling four
times through: 4 hours at 158°F (70°C)
4 hours at -20°F (-29°C)
16 hours at 73°F (22°C)

Specifications Note 1: The amount of adhesive supplied, for pressure-sensitive adhesives, is
controlled by the adhesive coat weight, not the adhesive caliper. Pressure-sensitive
adhesives are compressible which results in high error for caliper measurements. The
caliper listed in the constructions chart (page 1) has been calculated using a density of
1.012 g/cc (testing caliper is not part of the standard release testing because of the
error described).
Note 2: ASTM D3330, 15 minute dwell on stainless steel. For this adhesive family,
the adhesion will be much higher with longer dwells on stainless steel and other high
surface energy materials (please refer to the Typical Physical Properties section in this
document to see performance on other materials after longer dwells).

Note: Roll lengths vary by product slit width (the customer service department has more

For maximum bond strength (during installation of the final part) the surface should be
Application Techniques
thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical cleaning solvents are heptane (for oily surfaces)
or isopropyl alcohol for plastics. Use reagent grade solvents since common household
materials like rubbing alcohol frequently contain oils to minimize the drying affect on
skin. These oils can interfere with the performance of a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Consult solvent manufacturers MSDS for proper handling and storage instructions.
Also, use disposable wipes that do not contain oils, to remove the cleaning solvents.
It is necessary to provide pressure during lamination (1.5-20 pli recommended) and
during final part installation (10-15 psi) to allow to adhesive the come into direct
contact with the substrate. Using a hard edged plastic tool, which is the full width of
the laminated part, helps to provide the necessary pressure at the point of lamination.
Heat can increase bond strength when bonding to metal parts (generally this same
increase is observed at room temperature over longer times, weeks). For plastic parts,
the bond strength is not enhanced with the addition of heat.
The ideal adhesive application temperature range is 60°F (21°C) to 100°F (38°C).
Application is not recommended if the surface temperature is below 50°F (10°C)
because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. Once properly applied, at the
recommended application temperature, low temperature holding is generally
satisfactory (please refer to the Typical Physical Properties and Performance
Characteristics section).
When bonding a thin, smooth, flexible material to a smooth surface, it is generally
acceptable to use 2 mils of adhesive. If a texture is visible on one or both surfaces, the
5 mil adhesive would be suggested. If both materials are rigid, it may be necessary to
use a thicker adhesive to successfully bond the components. 3Mâ„? VHBâ„? Acrylic
Foam Tapes may be required (please refer to data page 70-0709-3863-7).
