3M Adhesives
3M adhesives deliver industry-leading performance, reliability, and versatility across an extensive range of industrial and commercial applications. Engineered with decades of materials science expertise, these adhesives create strong, consistent bonds between metal, plastic, composite, and glass surfaces - reducing assembly time, material weight, and the need for traditional fasteners.
3M offers one of the most comprehensive portfolios of bonding and assembly solutions on the market. From structural adhesives and epoxies that replace rivets and welds, to pressure-sensitive adhesives that create ultra-thin, durable bonds, every product is designed to meet exacting performance standards. Many formulations are built to absorb vibration, flex under stress, and maintain long-term durability even in harsh environments.
