3M™ Bioderived Adhesive Tape

The 3M™ Bioderived Adhesives Portfolio

3M’s influence as the world’s leading tape supplier reaches the lives of billions. They innovate, and industries change, markets move forward, and entirely new markets are born. 

Considering their long history of breakthroughs, it’s worth the excitement when 3M launches new products. As we’ve taken a look at their latest product unveiling, it’s clear they’re keeping their innovative spirit alive with the new Bioderived Adhesives. 

This portfolio signals a monumental achievement in what’s possible, a vital step toward a more sustainable future:

• Depending less on fossil fuels and more on renewable, plant-based adhesives
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions with a solventless manufacturing process

For this portfolio, 3M’s created two adhesive families to cover the spectrum of your bonding needs: 

1. 3M™ Acrylic Adhesive 210MP
   1. 68% plant-based acrylic
   2. Ideal for high surface energy (HSE) bonding
2. 3M™ Acrylic Adhesive 310LSE 
   1. 61% plant-based acrylic
   2. Ideal for low surface energy (LSE) bonding

Both of these families include transfer and double-sided tape options, offered in two different thicknesses (measured by a thousandth-of-an-inch, or mils for short).
