3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tapes with 3M™ Low Surface Energy Acrylic Adhesive
300LSE provides high bond strength to most surfaces, including many low surface
energy plastics such as polypropylene and powder coated paints. The acrylic
adhesive also provides excellent adhesion to surfaces contaminated lightly with
oil typically used with machine parts.

Typical Physical Properties and Performance Characteristics (continued)
Typical Adhesion
Properties
Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or
typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.
The properties defined are based on the attachment of impervious faceplate materials
(such as aluminum) to a stainless steel test surface.
Bond Build-up: The bond strength of 3M™ Adhesive 300LSE increased as a function of
time and temperature, and has very high initial adhesion.
Humidity Resistance: High humidity has a minimal effect on adhesive performance.
No significant reduction in bond strength is observed after exposure for 7 days at 90°F
(32°C) and 90% relative humidity.
U.V. sistance: When properly applied, nameplates and decorative trim parts are not
adversely affected by exposure.
Water Resistance: Immersion in water has no appreciable effect on the bond strength.
After 100 hours at room temperature, the high bond strength is maintained.
Temperature Cycling Resistance: High bond strength is maintained after cycling four
times through:
4 hours at 158°F (70°C)
4 hours at -20°F (-29°C)
4 hours at 73°F (22°C)
Chemical Resistance: When properly applied, nameplates and decorative trim parts will
hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including oil, mild acids and alkalis.
Temperature Resistance: 3M™ Adhesive 300LSE is usable for short periods (minutes,
hours) at temperatures up to 300°F (148°C) and for intermittent longer periods of time
(days, weeks) up to 200°F (93°C).
Lower Service Temperature: -40°F (-40°C).

Features
• 3M™ Adhesive 300LSE is a hi-strength acrylic adhesive that provides a very high bond
strength to most surfaces.
• Excellent bond to low surface energy plastics such as, polypropylene and powder coatings.
• Excellent adhesion to lightly oiled surfaces typical of machine parts.
• Thickness range of 2.0 mils, 3.5 mils, 5.0 mils and 8.5 mils for use on smooth, or rough
surfaces.
• Extremely smooth adhesive for excellent graphics appearance.
• Double linered for selective die-cutting.
• Polycoated kraft liner for die-cutting end tabs and waste removed nameplates on a common
carrier.
• 3M™ Adhesive Transfer Tapes 8132LE and 8153LE are double linered for selective
die-cutting.
Application
Techniques
For maximum bond strength, the surface should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical
cleaning solvents are heptane or isopropyl alcohol. Carefully read and follow manufacturer’s
precautions and directions for use when using cleaning solvents.
Bond strength can also be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heat, from
100°F (38°C) to 130°F (54°C), causing the adhesive to develop intimate contact with the
bonding surface.
Ideal tape application temperature range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C). Initial tape
application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended for most
pressure-sensitive adhesives because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily.
However, once properly applied, low temperature holding is generally satisfactory.
General
Information
• Plastic nameplates or graphic overlays for use on low surface energy plastics.
• Waste removed nameplates on a common sheet for ease of application.
• Attaching membrane switch assemblies to powder coated surfaces and low surface energy
plastics.
• Graphic overlays with end tabs for easy liner removal.
• Graphic application to surfaces such as wood, fabric, plastic, where very high bond strength
is required.
• Attaching identification material to lightly oily surfaces typical of machine parts.
Application
Ideas
Processing:
Slitting and die-cutting: This adhesive is very aggressive and may be difficult to convert
depending on your application requirements. Chilling the adhesive between 35°F and 50°F
will improve the processability. In addition, dies can be lubricated with Laminoleum
evaporative stamping oil, which is available from Metal Lubricants Company (708-333-8900),
or with Lubri-Blade 907 from Ceramic Technologies Inc. (800-258-8495). You may also refer
to our Technical Bulletin on 3M™ Adhesive 300LSE converting. (70-0707-6205-2)
Roll Laminating: A combination of metal and rubber rollers with moderate pressure is
recommended.
Note: Please refer to the Technical Bulletin on slitting. (70-0709-3905-6)
