To select the correct 3M component ormaterial solution you first need todetermine the appropriate adhesive.Selecting the proper adhesive for anyapplication must include considerationof the substrate surface characteristicsand the application performance
requirements.
1. To start building your product, firstdetermine which adhesive best meetsyour need. The Adhesive FamilyDescriptions and the AdhesiveSelection Charts at the beginning ofthe Label Materials and theAdhesive Bonding Tapes sectionshighlight the performance featuresand characteristics of 3M adhesives.
More detailed information about3M adhesives temperature,environmental and other performancecharacteristics are included in thecharts on pages 11 and 33.
2. If you are considering a labelmaterial, you can choose theappropriate facestock suitable foryour application by looking at the
Facestock Properties chart onpage 13. This chart showsenvironmental performance and
processing properties of our variousfacestock materials.
For instances when an application
requires the use of a specific liner,weve included convenient cross-reference charts on pages 14 and 35.
For information on a specific product,consult the Products Index.

8/10/2019 3M Adhesive Material Selection Guide
6/88
6
There are differences in adhesives.
Selecting the proper adhesives for
a nameplate, label or membrane switch
application requires consideration of
environmental, surface, appearance and
other performance requirements. Our
purpose here is to cover some ofthe principles of adhesion.
Surface contact is fundamental to
adhesive performance. To maximize
adhesive contact on a surface:
It must be dry and free of
contaminates.
Firm pressure must be applied to
increase the flow and contact of
the adhesive with the substrate.
Time and temperature will
increase the surface contact and
adhesion values.
Oil contaminated materials may
be addressed with the 300LSE
or 350 adhesive families.
Adhesion is the molecular force
of attraction between unlike materials.
The strength of attraction is determined
by the surface energy of the material.
The higher the surface energy, the
greater the molecular attraction. The
lower the surface energy, the weaker
the attractive forces.
Greater molecular attraction results in
increased contact between an adhesive
and substrate. In other words, a high
surface energy material, the adhesivecan flow (or wet-out) to assure a
stronger bond.
Consider an automobile that has not
been waxed for a long time. When water
contacts the surface it spreads in large
puddles. The unwaxed car surface
exhibits high surface energy the
molecular attraction allows the water
to flow.
In comparison, water beads up into
small spheres on freshly waxed car.It is an example of low surface
energy the liquid (or adhesive)
does not flow out.
Surface energy is measured by dynes
per centimeter. The dyne level is the
actual reading of the critical surface
tension.
Modified acrylic and synthetic
adhesives with better flow (or
wet-out) characteristics have been
developed to adhere to low surface ener-
gy substrates. The Surface Energy Chart
below compares the relative
surface energy of commonly used
substrates.
3Ms firm acrylic adhesives such
as #200, #200MP and #600 families
will not readily adhere to substratescategorized as having low surface ener-
gy. However, 3Ms #300, #320, #350,
and #300LSE modified acrylics or #700
synthetic rubber adhesives
have been designed to adhere to low
surface energy plastics, and should be
considered for those applications.
