For manufacturers requiring thin, high-performance double-sided tape for electronics, plastic assemblies, foam lamination and industrial bonding, 3M 93005LE is a versatile solution.
Installation Guide
-
Surface Preparation: Ensure both bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil and other contaminants.
-
Cleaning: Use a compatible cleaning solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, where appropriate for the substrate.
-
Temperature Check: Apply under suitable environmental conditions. Avoid applying tape to excessively cold or contaminated surfaces.
-
Tape Application: Position the tape carefully and avoid wrinkles or air bubbles.
-
Pressure Application: Apply firm, even pressure using a roller or suitable pressing equipment.
-
Liner Removal: Remove the release liner without touching the exposed adhesive.
-
Substrate Bonding: Align the second material and apply consistent pressure.
-
