Each of the adhesive tapes that 3M produce are designed for use in a specific way.  Some are designed to help bond items together, whilst others can be used to mask, protect or shield something.  Then there are those adhesive tapes which can help to seal a space or hole or for damping or splicing.In this article we are going to take a look at just some of the kinds of adhesive tapes that the company 3M have developed and which they now produce.  

Some of the tapes that they have are not only very adhesive, but can resist high temperatures and moisture or solvents.1.  VHB Tape - Is extremely reliable and use for bonding metals, plastics and glass to each other.  Using this eliminates one having to carry out any drilling or having unsightly fasteners protruding from the item that is being joined together.2.  Adhesive Transfer Tape - This tape is sensitive to pressure and comes with an adhesive surface on both sides of it just as the VHB tape does.  

However in order to protect one side of the tape it has a liner which needs to removed in order to stick the second surface to the first.  This kind of tape is ideal for using when wanting to bond light weight materials such as paper and plastic to each other.3.  Specialty Masking Tape - This is ideal for using with printed circuit boards, chemical baths and in photographic processes.  So the tape is actually able to adhere to the surface without being affected by the chemicals or metals which it comes into contact with.
