3M
3M is a global diversified technology and manufacturing company whose Industrial Adhesives and Tapes division produces one of the broadest bonding and fastening portfolios in the industry. The lineup spans structural epoxy, urethane, and acrylic adhesives (Scotch-Weld™), high-bond acrylic foam tapes (VHB™), reclosable mechanical fasteners (Dual Lock™), and a wide range of transfer, foam, and specialty tapes. These products are engineered for demanding assembly applications across electronics, transportation, industrial fabrication, and general manufacturing. 3M backs the line with application equipment — nozzles, guns, and applicators — so customers can dispense and process adhesives consistently at any production volume.
As an authorized 3M distributor, we supply the full range of Scotch-Weld, VHB, Dual Lock, and Fastbond products along with the dispensing hardware needed to apply them correctly, backed by technical guidance on adhesive selection and process setup.

Markets Served by 3M
Structural & Engineering Adhesives
Scotch-Weld structural adhesives are two-part, high-performance bonding systems used to join metals, composites, and engineering plastics where mechanical fasteners or welding aren't practical. The line spans epoxy, urethane, and acrylic chemistries, each suited to different substrate combinations, cure speeds, and environmental demands. Most are supplied in duo-pak cartridges or bulk pails/drums for use with standard 1:1 or 1:2 mixing/dispensing equipment.
Spray, Contact & Hot Melt Adhesives
This category covers 3M's fast-tack bonding products for flexible and porous materials — spray adhesives for foam, fabric, and film lamination; hot melt adhesives for high-speed assembly lines; and the surface-prep chemicals that ensure a clean, contamination-free bonding surface before adhesives or tapes are applied.
Industrial Tapes
3M's tape portfolio ranges from permanent structural bonding tapes to temporary transfer adhesives, foam cushioning tapes, and specialty conductive/shielding tapes. VHB tapes are engineered to replace fasteners and liquid adhesives entirely, while transfer and ATG tapes offer fast, mess-free lamination for graphics, gaskets, and componentry.
Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners
Dual Lock is 3M's mushroom-profile mechanical fastening system, used where components need to be opened, removed, or reattached repeatedly without losing holding strength. It's a common alternative to screws, snaps, or hook-and-loop closures in enclosure and panel assembly.
Application Equipment & Accessories
To apply Scotch-Weld and ATG adhesives correctly, 3M offers a full line of mixing nozzles and manual/pneumatic dispensing tools sized to match cartridge ratios and volumes. These accessories ensure consistent mix ratios and clean, controlled application on the production floor.
