3M™ Ultra-clean Laminating Adhesive 502FL
• .002 in. thick adhesive
• Plastic core
• 2 mil PET, DS silicone liner
• .002 in. thick adhesive for rough surfaces
• Pressure used for lamination and application to a substrate
• Acrylic polymer provides excellent adhesion to many
substrates
• Low outgassing and ionics
Application Ideas
• 3M™ Ultra-clean Laminating Adhesives are ideal for applications that need lower outgassing and ionics levels
compared to current generation laminating adhesives.
• 3M ultra-clean laminating adhesives have improved room temperature and high temperature shear performance for
improved label and seal holding strength.
• 3M ultra-clean laminating adhesives have low odor and low outgassing of volatile components which can cause fogging
or condensation on vehicle windows.
• 3M™ Ultra-clean Laminating Adhesives 501FL and 502F laminate easily to many substrates, and the film liner offers
moisture resistance and improved die-cutability and web control.
• 3M ultra-clean adhesives 501FL and 502FL have an acrylic chemistry that offers good thermal stability over moderate
temperatures and short high temperature excursions when combined with a backing layer.
• Market application areas include: Automotive, Aerospace, Electrical Mechanical and General Industry.
