A Selection Guide to 3M™ PSA Adhesive Tapes for Low Surface Energy (LSE) Applications

There's a lot that goes into adhesive tape selection. That's why JBC Technologies teamed up with 3M™ to create an easy-to-use, educational selection guide for 3M LSE bonding solutions - Tapes and Adhesives for Low Surface Energy Applications: 3M LSE Product Selection Guide. Download it today and learn more about why surface energy matters, the surface energy of commonly used substrates, and the adhesive tape performance properties you need to consider during the design phase of your project.

10 Medical Uses for Differential Double-Sided Adhesive Tape

Differential double-sided adhesive tapes are a great way to bond two very different materials - think foam to glass or steel to plastic - and their versatility makes them a popular choice in industries like electronics and automotive. This two-faced approach to adhesive tape bonding makes differential tape the perfect choice for bonding two materials with significantly different surface characteristics. It's also the main reason you'd probably choose to use a differential tape in the first place. In this post, we turn our attention to some of the most common ways that you'll find differential adhesive tapes being used for medical applications.

10 Automotive Uses for Differential Double-Sided Tape

Welcome to the second post in our series about differential double-sided Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) tape.  In our first post - Differential Double-Sided Tapes Defined | The Basics, we gave an overview of differential double-sided PSA tapes. Here we'll see how these special double-sided adhesive tapes are used for 10 automotive applications.

Differential Double-Sided Tape Defined | The Basics

Differential double-sided adhesive tapes are a powerful ally in the battle to bond dissimilar materials. We've taken a deep dive under the liner of this versatile and often overlooked tape option to get to the bottom of what makes this adhesive tape so special. This post — the first in a three-part series — covers the basics of differential double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape. It's a primer for differential double-sided tape and it sets the stage for more focused discussions of the automotive (Part II) and medical (Part III) applications of differential double-sided tapes.

6 (More) Benefits of Adhesive Tapes Over Liquid Adhesives

You've probably got a pretty good idea why tapes can often be the better choice compared to liquid adhesives, but did you know there are even more ways that pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape can come out on top? Don't misinterpret, we're not saying there's anything wrong with liquid adhesives...
