3M VHB Tape LSE-110WF

Description

3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-110WF is a 1.1 mm thick, white, double-coated acrylic foam tape designed specifically for bonding low surface energy (LSE) materials — such as polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic olefin (TPO), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and composite materials — without the need for a primer. This advanced tape uses a modified acrylic adhesive on a conformable, closed-cell acrylic foam core, offering a combination of high initial tack, excellent stress relaxation, and multi-material compatibility. The closed-cell structure ensures moisture resistance and reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.  3M™ VHB™ LSE-110WF is part of the LSE series (also available in 0.6 mm and 1.6 mm thicknesses) and delivers consistent, high-strength bonds even on challenging plastic substrates. Its soft, conformable foam allows it to absorb and distribute stress effectively, while the pressure-sensitive adhesive delivers immediate handling strength making it a fast, clean, and durable alternative to mechanical fasteners, rivets, and liquid adhesives.

Features:

• Specially Formulated for LSE Plastics: Bonds effectively to polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), TPO, TPE, composites, and painted or metal surfaces — no primer required.
• Modified Acrylic Adhesive: Provides strong adhesion with high initial tack and long-term durability on low-energy surfaces.
• Soft Conformable Foam Core: Absorbs stress, allows easy application, and improves long-term bond reliability under dynamic loads.
• 100% Closed-Cell Acrylic Foam: Resists water, solvents, and environmental exposure for extended product life.
• Excellent Multi-Material Bonding: Compatible with low, medium, and high surface energy materials (PP, PA, ABS, glass, aluminum, stainless steel, composites).
• Superior Low-Temperature Tack: Can be applied down to 0 °C (on frost-free surfaces), with ideal range 10 °C – 38 °C.

Applications:

• Plastic Component Bonding: Designed for primerless bonding of PP, PE, TPO, and composite parts in manufacturing.
• Automotive & Transportation: Ideal for bonding exterior trims, emblems, side moldings, and lightweight composite panels.
• Appliances: Mounting control panels, nameplates, decorative covers, and plastic housings.
• Signage & Display: Clear, durable attachment of panels, graphics, logos, and backlit or translucent signs.
• Electronics & Enclosures: Secure bonding of housings, screens, and internal structural parts without mechanical fasteners.
• Industrial Assembly: Used in HVAC panels, machinery casings, and other LSE-to-metal or plastic joining.
• General Fabrication: Replacement for rivets, welds, and liquid adhesives when clean, flexible, and reliable bonding is required.
