Environmental
Performance
Humidity Resistance – High humidity has a minimal effect on
adhesive performance. Bond strength shows no significant reduction
after exposure for 7 days at 90⁰F (32⁰C) and 90% relative humidity.
UV Resistance – When properly applied, nameplates and decorative
trim parts are not adversely affected by outdoor 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 158⁰F (70⁰C)
4 hours at -20⁰F (-29⁰C)
4 hours at 73⁰F (22⁰C)
Chemical Resistance – When properly applied, nameplate and
decorative trim parts will hold securely after exposure to numerous
chemicals including oil, mild acids and alkalis.
Bond Build-up: The bond strength of 3M™ High Performance Acrylic
Adhesive 200MP increases as a function of time and temperature
Temperature/Heat Resistance: 3M™ High Performance Acrylic
Adhesive 200MP is usable for short periods (minutes, hours) at
temperatures up to400⁰F (204⁰C) and for intermittent longer periods
(days, weeks) up to 300⁰F (149⁰C).
Lower Temperature Service Limit: The glass transition temperature
for 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP is -31°F (-35°C).
Many applications survive below this temperature (factors affecting
successful applications include: materials being bonded, dwell at RT
before cold exposure, and stress below the TG[i.e.expansion/contraction
stresses, impact]). Optimum conditions are: bonding high surface energy
materials, longer time at RT before cold exposure, and little or no stress
below the TG. The lowest service temperature is -40°F (-40°C).

Application Techniques
For maximum bond strength (during installation of the final part) the surface
should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Typical cleaning solvents are
heptane (for oily surfaces) or isopropyl alcohol for plastics. Use reagent grade
solvents since common household materials like rubbing alcohol frequently
contain oils to minimize the drying affect on skin and can interfere with the
performance of a pressure-sensitive adhesive.
*Note: Carefully read and follow the manufacturer’s precautions and
directions for use when working with solvents. These cleaning
recommendations may not be in compliance with the rules of certain air
quality management districts in California; consult applicable rules before
use.
It is necessary to provide pressure during lamination (1.5-20 pli
recommended) and during final part installation (10-15 psi) to allow the
adhesive to come into direct contact with the substrate. Using a hard edged
plastic tool, which is the full width of the laminated part, helps to provide the
necessary pressure at the point of lamination. Heat can increase bond strength
when bonding to metal parts (generally this same increase is observed at
room temperature over longer times, weeks). For plastic parts, the bond
strength is not enhanced with the addition of heat.
The ideal adhesive application temperature range is 60°F (15.6°C) to 100°F
(38°C). Application is not recommended if the surface temperature is below
50°F (10°C) because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. Once
properly applied, at the recommended application temperature, low
temperature holding is generally satisfactory (please refer to section VII of
the Typical Physical Properties and Performance Characteristics).
When bonding a thin, smooth, flexible material to a smooth surface, it is
generally acceptable to use 2 mils of 3M™ Adhesive 200MP. If a texture is
visible on one or both surfaces, the 5 mil 3M adhesive 200MP would be
suggested. If both materials are rigid, it may be necessary to use a thicker
adhesive to successfully bond the components. 3M™ VHB™ Acrylic Foam
