Marian's preferred supplier partner, 3M™, recently announced a new low VOC adhesive transfer tape for automotive interior components.
The new tape, 3M™ Low VOC Adhesive Transfer Tape 59812LVC, adheres to difficult to bond substrates like low surface energy plastics, metals, fabrics, and foams, while still providing a clean aesthetic. The tape easily conforms to curves and can bond dissimilar materials after exposure to 100 °F (38 °C). It also offers short term temperature resistance up to 300 °F (149 °C) and long-term resistance up to 250 °F (121 °C) with 100% humidity.

What is VOC?
VOC, or Volatile Organic Compounds, are gasses emitted over time from human-made products containing chemicals. In addition to fogging windows and producing an odor, VOCs have potential to cause short-term and long-term adverse health effects. These natural chemical emissions are often referred to as 'outgassing' or 'off-gassing'.
Global automotive OEMs are continually pushing to limit VOCs within vehicles; an interior environment many people are in daily and for potentially long periods of time. These new efforts make transfer adhesives like 3M 59812LVC an appealing choice for OEMs. 3M 59812LVC produces less VOC emissions than most tapes, up to 80% when compared to standard 3M PSA.
3M™ Low VOC Adhesive Transfer Tape 59812LVC can be die-cut for a number of automotive interior applications, offering unique sustainability benefits.
