3M

3M is a Minnesota-based industrial manufacturer that produces some of the most widely used adhesives, tapes, and surface preparation materials in industrial manufacturing. Chemical Concepts stocks 3M’s industrial product lines for OEM assembly, transportation, sign and display, electronics, aerospace, and general manufacturing applications.
The 3M product range we carry includes:

Scotch-Weld Structural Adhesives. Two-part epoxies, urethanes, and methacrylates for metal, composite, and plastic bonding (DP series cartridges, EC series film adhesives).
VHB Tapes. Acrylic foam double-sided tapes for permanent panel mounting, sign assembly, and weather-exposed joints (5952, 4941, RP, GPH, LSE, LVO families).
Scotch-Grip Industrial Adhesives. Rubber, plastic, and contact cement formulations for production assembly.
Hi-Strength 90. Spray contact adhesives for large-area bonding.
Fastbond. Water-based contact cements for foam, fabric, and laminate applications.
Surface preparation. Primers, cleaners, and abrasives sized for industrial workflows.

3M has been making industrial bonding products since 1925 and runs manufacturing in more than 70 countries. The VHB tape line, introduced in 1980, has become the industry standard for replacing rivets and welds in panel mounting applications.
Most 3M products ship same-day from our Dallas warehouse, with 50ml sample sizes available so you can spec and test before committing to production quantities. Browse our adhesives or tapes categories, or contact our technical team at (800) 220-1966 or [email protected] for product selection help.
