New: 3M™ VHB™ Water-Based Promoter UV – water-based primer with UV indicator for optimal adhesion
3M™ VHB™ Water-Based Promoter UV is an advanced water-based primer (adhesion promoter) developed to optimize adhesion of 3M VHB tapes in demanding bonding applications. The product combines strong bonding performance with a UV indicator for process control and enables more sustainable production.
Benefits of 3M™ VHB™ Water-Based Promoter UV
Water-based formulation for a better working environment
The waterborne technology results in a lower content of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), providing a safer working environment and reduced environmental impact.
UV indicator for process control
The promoter contains a UV indicator that makes the application visible under UV light. This enables simple visual verification and supports repeatable, safe, and controllable processes.
Optimized adhesion on challenging surfaces
Specifically developed to ensure strong and long-lasting adhesion on difficult substrates, in combination with 3M™ VHB™ tapes.
More efficient production
With easy application, clear coverage control, and predictable drying time, production can be planned in an efficient and quality-assured manner.
Important to know
As a result of the waterborne technology, 3M™ VHB™ Water-Based Promoter UV has a slightly longer drying time compared to traditional solvent-based primers. Adequate adhesion is achieved after up to 10 minutes of drying. This should be accounted for in the production flow, while also contributing to a more sustainable and safer working environment.
Typical applications
-
Electronics and battery modules – where strong and reliable adhesion is critical
-
Transportation and automotive – for mounting interior and exterior components
-
Building and façade elements – for long-term fixation in demanding environments
-
General industry – when high strength and reliability are required
