Typical Performance
90˚ Peel Adhesion: 40 oz / inch (ABS Substrate, 72 hour dwell time)
90˚ Peel Adhesion: 62 oz / inch (Polyproylene Substrate, 72 hour dwell time)
90˚ Peel Adhesion: 86 oz / inch (Stainless Steel, 72 hour dwell time)
Short Term Temperature Resistance: 250 ˚F
Long Term Temperature Resistance: 158 ˚F

Typical Environmental Characteristics
Humidity Resistance: high humidity has a minimal effect on adhesive performance. Bond strength (is generally higher/shows no significant reduction) after exposure for 7 days at 90°F (32°C) 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 increases and is maintained.

Temperature Cycling Resistance: high bond strength is maintained /increases after cycling four times through: 4 hours at 158°F (70°C), 4 hours at -20°F (-29°C) and 4 hours at 73°F (22°C).

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 Adhesive 300 increases as a function of time and temperature.

Temperature/Heat Resistance: Adhesive 300 is usable for short periods (minutes, hours) at temperatures up to 250°F (120°C) and for intermittent longer periods (days, weeks) up to 150°F (65°C). Lower Temperature Service Limit: -40F (-40°C).
