3M Product Families
We convert and fabricate components from the full range of 3M industrial adhesive product families:
- 3M VHB Tapes – Very High Bond acrylic foam tapes that replace mechanical fasteners, rivets, and welds. Ideal for structural bonding, panel attachment, and sign mounting applications requiring permanent, high-strength bonds.
- 3M Transfer Adhesives – Unsupported adhesive films for laminating, splicing, and bonding dissimilar materials. Available in acrylic and rubber-based formulations for a wide range of substrates.
- 3M Double-Coated Tapes – Adhesive on both sides of a carrier material, providing excellent conformability and handling. Used for mounting, bonding, and attachment across automotive, electronics, and general industrial applications.
- 3M Foam Tapes – Single and double-coated foam tapes for gasketing, sealing, cushioning, and vibration dampening. Available in a range of thicknesses and densities to meet specific application needs.
- 3M Structural Adhesives – High-performance epoxy, acrylic, and urethane adhesives engineered for load-bearing bonds in demanding environments, including aerospace, transportation, and heavy equipment.
Converting Capabilities
Our converting facility is equipped to handle a wide variety of adhesive fabrication processes:
- Die Cutting – Precision flatbed and rotary die cutting for high-volume production of custom adhesive shapes, gaskets, and components with tight tolerances.
- Kiss Cutting – Cuts through the adhesive layer while leaving the release liner intact, making it easy to peel and apply individual parts during assembly.
- Slitting – Converting master rolls into custom-width rolls for tape dispensing, automated assembly lines, and specialized packaging requirements.
- Spooling – Custom spooling of adhesive materials for automated pick-and-place equipment and high-speed production environments.
- Laminating – Multi-layer adhesive lamination combining different materials, adhesives, and substrates into single components for complex bonding applications.
Applications
3M adhesive products converted by U.S. Nameplate Co. serve a broad range of industrial and commercial applications:
- Replaces Mechanical Fasteners – VHB tapes and structural adhesives eliminate the need for screws, rivets, and welds, providing cleaner aesthetics and distributed stress loads.
- Panel Bonding – Attach metal, plastic, and composite panels in automotive, HVAC, appliance, and architectural applications with permanent, weather-resistant bonds.
- Gasketing & Sealing – Custom die-cut foam and adhesive gaskets for environmental sealing, dust protection, and moisture barriers in enclosures and housings.
- Electronics Assembly – Thermally conductive adhesives, EMI shielding tapes, and component mounting solutions for circuit boards, displays, and electronic enclosures.
- Signage Mounting – High-strength bonding tapes for permanent mounting of nameplates, labels, signs, and graphic overlays to a variety of surfaces.
