3M™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
XTO fabricates, converts and distributes 3M™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesives for a variety of industrial and manufacturing uses. The adhesives can adhere quickly and securely to a wide range of High Surface Energy (HSE) and Low Surface Energy (LSE) materials including glass, ABS and hard-to-bond PP, HDPE, LDPE, nylon and powder coated or UV painted surfaces. 
Pressure sensitive adhesives are designed for many applications and have a set of characteristics of which defines their use. Which type of adhesive you choose depends on the desired outcome. XTO offers the following types of 3M™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Products:
Rubber Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
- Remove cleanly from most smooth surfaces, but also adhere well to porous or rough surfaces
- High initial bond
- Can withstand heat to 350°F
- Good solvent resistance
- Synthetic rubber adhesive is moisture and humidity resistant
Standard Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
With moderate initial bond, standard acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive is recommended for high surface energy applications.
- Can with stand up to 450°F
- Excellent chemical and UV resistance
- Permanent
- Excellent solvent resistance
Silicone Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Silicone adhesives have high shear and peel strength for hard-to-bond substrates.
- Can with stand up to 600°F as well as excellent low temperature performance
- Excellent chemical and UV resistance
- Removable
- Excellent solvent resistance
Modified Acrylic Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
Modified pressure sensitive adhesive bonds to a wider variety of materials than standard acrylic and has a softer feel. It can also be applied to many different types of surfaces compared to the standard acrylic.
- Can withstand up to 300°F
- Good/Moderate chemical and UV resistance
- Durable
- Moderate UV resistance
- Good solvent resistance
