How To Use 3M Tape In Cold Weather?

Winter temperature if low, many models of 3M tape at low temperature glue is easy to harden, resulting in a decline in initial viscosity.  Low temperature environment to achieve the best bonding effect, the bonding surface must be clean and dry, the best temperature range of adhesive tape application is 21-38℃, it is recommended that if the initial bonding temperature is lower than 10℃, not suitable for bonding, so the adhesive is too hard, and can not firmly bonded on the object;  However, if it is already attached, the holding force at low temperatures is also satisfactory.

It is recommended that you use 3M glue (3M 94 primer /3M94 adhesive aid) to increase the initial adhesion of the 3M tape when there is no bonding temperature around 15 degrees 

Product Description: 3M Tape, 3M VHB tape

3M Tape Primer 94 can be used to promote adhesion of 3M tapes to surfaces such polyethylene,polypropylene, ABS, PET/PBT blends, concrete, wood, glass, metal and painted metal surfaces.

Application:3M Tape, 3M VHB tape
Shake 3M Primer 94 well before using. Apply a thin uniform coating to the bonding surface using the minimum amount that will fully coat the surface. Allow 3M Primer 94 to dry thoroughly before applying tape.
This is usually accomplished in 5 minutes at room temperature. Be sure the primed surface remains free from contaminants prior to applying the tape. Porous surfaces may require 2 applications of 3M Primer 94 for uniform coverage and good adhesion. Allow first application of primer to dry before applying the second coat. 3M Primer 94 may be applied with brush or swab. It can also be applied with a pressurized flow gun, knurled roller or other similar type of application equipment.

Or choose 3M VHB tape that can be constructed at low temperature, such as 3M 4951, which can be constructed at zero temperature.

With 3M VHB Tape, you can maintain consistency from sketch to construction, eliminating distracting, visible fasteners, like screws and bolts. These high-strength, double-sided acrylic foam tapes let you quickly and easily create a long-lasting bond that actually builds strength over time. With the ability to join a variety of materials including aluminum, steel, glass, plastics and painted and powder-coated surfaces, they provide resilient bonding solutions in just about anything you can dream up.

Or add oven, add air conditioning, ensure that the ambient temperature of the tape attached to the station is above 15 degrees.  3M Tape, 3M VHB tape
