3M introduces new low VOC spray adhesives

3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division haslaunched the new Low VOC Aerosols and 3M Hi-Strength 94 ET Spray Adhesives with up to 50 percent reduction of VOCs, the company said. As more attention is paid to VOCs and their role in air quality, 3M is offering these next generation materials for customers interested in pursuing LEED credits and other environmental certifications.

The new Low VOC Aerosol Adhesives from 3M are low-emission versions of the company’s aerosol adhesives. These products include 3M Super 77 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive, 3M Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive and 3M Foam Fast 74 Spray Adhesive.

Additionally, 3M Adhesive Remover and 3M Silicone Spray complement the line. Performance benefits have been achieved with the low VOC versions of 3M Super 77 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive, which offers a longer tack and finer spray pattern than the current offering, the company said. In addition, 3M Hi-Strength 90 Spray Adhesive and 3M Foam Fast 74 Spray Adhesive deliver higher solids, better peel strength and a longer bonding range. All of the 3M Low VOC Aerosol Adhesives meet California Air Resources Board (CARB), Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) and Lake Michigan Air District Consortium (LADCO) VOC requirements. 

All of the 3M Low VOC Spray Adhesive products are Greenguard Children & Schools Certified(SM), a product certification recognizing low-emitting building materials and other products used in environments where children and other sensitive populations spend extended periods of time.
