3M™ Low Odor Tape
The 3M™ LVO series of double-sided tapes are a high performance adhesive product designed to provide a strong, durable and reliable bond.
Characteristics
- Versatile adhesion: It is formulated to adhere effectively to difficult low surface energy substrates (such as polypropylene and polystyrene) and medium to high surface energy materials, ensuring a robust bond on a variety of surfaces.
- Low emissions: Nearly odorless (VDA 270 compliant) and features reduced VOC (volatile organic compound) and mist emissions (VDA 278), making it ideal for sensitive environments and demanding applications, such as in the automotive industry.
- High temperature resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 121 °C without compromising adhesion and strength, making it suitable for extreme conditions.
- Environmental durability: Withstands factors such as humidity and heat, ensuring consistent performance indoors and in challenging environments.
- Regulatory compliance: Tested to meet stringent standards, including FDA regulations (21 CFR 175.105) for indirect food contact, the first tape in the 3M™ VHB™ LVO family to achieve this compliance.
- Easy application: Its design simplifies the joining process, saving time and effort, and offers a cost-effective alternative to other fastening methods, such as liquid adhesives or mechanical fasteners.
- Safety and quality: It is free of harmful substances that can contaminate food-related applications, which reinforces its reliability in regulated sectors.
