3M Double coated and adhesive transfer tapes for better performance and productivity. Stress resistance, simplification, economy and more.
Tensile stress is exerted equally over the entire joint straight and away from the adhesive bond.
Shear stress is across the adhesive bond. The bonded materials are being forced to slide over each other. Cleavage stress is concentrated at one edge and exerts a prying force on the bond. Peel stress is concentrated along a thin line at the bond's edge. One surface is flexible.
