3M ™ VHB ™ TAPE SOLUTIONS FOR DISPLAY BONDING

What the world’s top
devices are made of.
Every day, in every corner of the world, devices are challenged to survive
the most extreme conditions and hostile environments imaginable.
Using 3M™ VHB™ Tape in your design sets you free to create strong,long-lasting bonds that give enclosures — and the sensitive components
beneath — an amazingly protective backup for the life of your product.

ŔŔ Viscoelastic properties provide shock and vibration resistanceŔŔ Closed-cell foam technology seals out liquid and dust
ŔŔ Conformable foam allows for enhanced design flexibility
Combined with the unprecedented advantages of our global reach,
proven performance and support when you need it, 3M™ VHB™ Tape
gives you the freedom to dream, design, deliver.

3M ™ VHB ™ TAPE SOLUTIONS FOR DISPLAY BONDING

Stunning strength.
Ultra thin and uniquely protective, our high-strength,
double-sided acrylic foam creates both an exceptionallytight seal and a long-lasting bond that actually getstronger over time.
Because it adheres to a wide range of substrates,
3M™ VHB™ Tape is ideal for:ŔŔ Smartphones: screens, cameras, back covers
ŔŔ Tablet lenses
ŔŔ Notebook bezels
ŔŔ Automotive displays
ŔŔ Speaker sealingŔŔ Medical displays
ŔŔ Wearable devices

Resists shattering.
Unlike polyethylene (PE) foam tapes with lower-density open cells
that can merge and leak, 3M™ VHB™ Tape has 100% closed-cellfoam with virtually no chance of cell wall rupture.
Furthermore, the energy-absorbing nature of 3M™ VHB™ Tape’s
viscoelastic properties provides multiple levels of benefit tohandheld devices throughout the product’s lifecycle:

ŔŔ Impact resistance from dropsŔŔ A permanent seal against water,moisture and other contaminants

3M™ VHB™ Tape 864XX
provides exceptional
tensile impact resistanceand sealing capabilities.

Due to the closed-cell nature of 3M™ VHB™ Tape, it provides
a high degree of protection against liquid (water) and solid particle(such as dust) intrusion of electronic enclosures.
Because the viscoelastic acrylic foam can both compress
and expand throughout the life of your device, 3M™ VHB™ Tapeforms a protective barrier against moisture and contaminants
that simply won’t quit.

Use 3M™ VHB™ Tape 590X for agood balance of drop resistanceand peel adhesion.

FOR STRIKING NEW DESIGNSReduce stress.
The unique combination of viscoelastic properties of thefoam core and adhesive skin of 3M™ VHB™ Tape relieves stressand enables you to push the limits of your new designs.
The elastic memory of the acrylic construction allows it toelongate and relax when put under a load, then returns it backto its original state after the stress is removed, maintaining theintegrity of the original design.

3M™ VHB™ Tape 5980 offers
excellent peel and impact resistanceand is available in black or white.

Holding power.
The acrylic foam core of 3M™ VHB™ Tape has a uniquemodulus that secures parts with strong holding power.
In cases where large displays can cause creep failure,
the thick, solid core of 3M™ VHB™ Tape gives it moreshear hold, lasting strength and energy-absorbing
capabilities to isolate loads rather than transfer them.

3M™ VHB™ Tape 4914’s firm construction delivers high holding
power and easy convertibility. 3M™ Double Coated Tape 934XX
offers high conformability, anti-lifting and easy die cutting.

3M ™ LIQUID ADHESIVE SOLUTIONS FOR DISPLAY BONDING

3M™ LIQUID ADHESIVESCreate strength.
Narrow, high strength bond lines enable thin device designs
that have excellent drop test performance. When designing for
extremely narrow bond lines, look to the growing portfolio of
3M™ Liquid Adhesives, including polyurethanes (PUR) and epoxies.
Use precision dispensing for controlled bond line width andthickness. 3M™ Liquid Adhesives can provide immediate
handling strength with PSA lamination yet retain reworkability
after cure to allow for the recovery of expensive touch displays.
These adhesives enable baseless lamination (adhesive laminatedat the edge of glass) with high yield and are stackable to achieve
high aspect ratio beads.

Choose 3M™ Plastic Bonding Adhesive 2665B
and 2710p Black for bond lines below 0.5mm width.

Designed forlongevity.
Automotive products face a barrageof challenges, including dust andmoisture intrusion as well as constantshock and vibration. The viscoelastic
properties of 3M™ VHB™ Tape helpabsorb these dynamic stresses forbond reliability. And with no rivets,screws or bolts, it streamlines design,
shaves weight, speeds assembly andreduces maintenance. Plus, it’s virtuallyinvisible in your final design.

Use 3M™ VHB™ Tape 590X
for high impact resistanceand excellent sealing.
