Applications
■ Lens bonding
■ LCM attachment
■ Touch panel bonding
■ Bezel bonding Application Techniques For maximum bond strength the surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water. Consult manufacturer’s directions for use and precautions when using cleaning solvents. Ideal tape application is accomplished when temperature is between 21° and 38°C (between 70° and 100°F) and the bond is allowed to dwell 72 hours. Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 10°C (50°F) is not recommended. 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5980, 5980WT Property Value Adhesive Modified Acrylic Thickness 5980(WT)-015: 0.15 mm (0.006 in) 5980(WT)-020: 0.20 mm (0.008 in) 5980(WT)-025: 0.25 mm (0.010 in) 5980(WT)-030: 0.30 mm (0.012 in) Density 910 kg/m3 (57 lb/ft3) Thickness Tolerance: (approx.) +/- 15% Liners Liner 1 (tight): 0.075 mm (0.003 in) Liner 2 (easy): 0.05 mm (0.002 in) Tape Color 5980 Black, 5980WT White Technical Data | September 2017
