Whether your project requires bonding, a protective seal or gap filling, our materials experts are here to help you finalize the best 3M™ product selection for your unique application. With our analysis, access to firsthand technical data and experience, you can feel confident in your final selection.
3M™ adhesive sealant does more than provide a strong, lasting bond between two surfaces. The sealant fills gaps and provides a barrier against moisture, cold and other unwanted elements. 3M™ adhesive sealants are available in different chemistries, so you can achieve the protection your product needs.
When it comes to joining materials, flexible adhesives can help you achieve a durable bond with complete coverage. At ABLE, our capabilities and material expertise can help you identify the best material that fits your requirements.
Structural adhesives “lock” two components together, providing a strength that matches rivets, screws and other metal fasteners, with the advantage of reducing bulk and weight to the final product. ABLE’s capabilities and technical expertise can help you identify the best product and process.
Once ABLE’s experts help you identify the right tape and bonding strength for your custom fabricated part, we can die-cut the precise shape, or slice a master roll to create rolls to your exact width. Our analytical, problem-solving approach ensures a successful outcome for your project!
3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tape’s ultra-simple structure is what makes it highly customizable for almost endless applications. This tape provides a layer of adhesive (acrylic, rubber and silicone) on a release liner. It can be die-cut and layered with other liners and flexible materials to fabricate your custom part, at the required bonding strength.
3M™ Differential Double Coated tapes come with a different adhesive on each side of the carrier and are rolled up in a release liner. These can be used for clean removal applications or to bond dissimilar materials.
Double coated tapes have an adhesive coating on both sides of the carrier, and can provide many customizable options. The carrier can provide stability, better handling, structure, and can also feature different adhesives on both sides. Depending on the desired function, the carrier can be made of PET film as well as paper, tissue and other flexible materials.
Double coated foam tapes have an adhesive coating on both sides of a foam carrier. Core benefits are bonding for irregular or rough surfaces, filling gaps and distributing stress uniformly over an area.
Achieve true customization of your customized product with the L-Series, where you can choose from eight tape products and three platforms.
3M™ Reclosable Fasteners provide a streamlined, lightweight alternative to metal fasteners. Join unlike materials without corrosion or contamination and reduce vibration. Achieve tight closure and an easy-peel opening that’s durable enough for daily use.
Tape features low-tack adhesive, letting you easily remove or reposition parts.
Single coated tapes consist of a backing material laminated with adhesive. The backing can be made of plastic films, paper, metal foils, cloth and non-woven fibers. Single-coated tapes can be slit and custom die-cut to mask, protect, enhance, splice, modify the surface to improve appearance or to alter the function.
Thermally conductive tapes and sheets are specially designed to transfer heat from critical components. They’re ideal for a wide range of applications, including automotive, LED lighting, communication infrastructure, electronic and medical devices, and aerospace and defense.
Very high bonding tape is a super strong alternative to bolts, rivets, screws and other fasteners, so you can achieve a more visually pleasing, streamlined design. Its bond builds strength over time. VHB™ tapes form a secure bond even on metals, plastics and powder-coated surfaces.
Used for fastening automotive parts onto vehicle exteriors, including nameplates, badges and emblems.
Bumpons provide high-skid resistance and anti-marring properties. Used as feet, stops and spacers to provide high-skid resistance and reduce noise and vibration.
ABLE was founded by Harold H. Martinez in 1974. He later explained that by naming the company “ABLE”. He wanted to convey his mindset to daily life and business. “ABLE” means skill, competence, and talent. That is precisely what he intended to deliver to his customers.
