3M UV Activated Film 82175 is a UV-activated and curable film with semi-structural strength but handles like a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). Delivered between two polyester silicone release liners, this clear, slightly yellow film creates precise bonds with very little shrinkage while ensuring good bond line visual appearance. It also makes use of a polyester film carrier, which helps ensure that the tape is easier to handle during slitting and die cutting. With the added benefits of good shear strengt
- BONDING, REIMAGINED: Stronger bonds than tapes; easier to apply than liquid adhesives; and activated with light, rather than heat
- FAMILIAR FEEL: Processes and performs like a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) before UV activation, including the ability to die cut for thin precision bonding
- CURING TIME: Achieves green strength within an hour and full bond at room temperature within 48 hours following UV activation
- FILM CARRIER: A polyester film carrier makes this tape easier to handle during slitting and die cutting
- GOOD AESTHETICS: Bonds with very low shrinkage and with good bond line visual appearance
- VARIOUS SUBSTRATES: Creates excellent bond strength on most medium and high surface energy materials

PRODUCT FAQ
-
What are the dimensions of the 3M™ UV Activated Film 82175?
The film comes in a roll measuring 200 mm wide by 100 meters long, and you'll receive 1 roll per case.
-
What does "UV Activated" mean for this film product?
The UV Activated feature means this film requires ultraviolet light exposure to fully develop its properties and adhesive characteristics, making it ideal for applications where you need controlled activation timing.
-
What are some common uses for this type of film?
This film is commonly used for security applications, document protection, and brand authentication since the UV activation feature makes it tamper-evident and helps verify product authenticity.
-
Is this film easy to apply, and what should I know before using it?
Yes, it's designed for straightforward application, but you'll want to make sure you have proper UV light sources available to activate it once it's applied to your product or document.
3M UV Activated Films and Tapes represent an innovative adhesive solution that strategically merges three distinct bonding technologies into a single, highly effective product. These specialized films and tapes deliver superior adhesive strength compared to conventional tape products, while simultaneously offering considerably simpler application methods than traditional liquid adhesive systems. A defining characteristic of these products is their unique activation mechanism—they cure through exposure to ultraviolet light rather than requiring elevated temperatures, setting them apart from conventional heat-activated bonding films.
Storage and Handling CharacteristicsPrior to ultraviolet light exposure, these films and tapes maintain remarkable stability while remaining tacky at room temperature conditions. This characteristic allows manufacturers to easily process and convert the materials into precision die-cut components without requiring specialized equipment or environmental controls. Once the ultraviolet activation process is initiated, the bonding strength begins to develop progressively at ambient room temperature, establishing initial green strength within approximately one hour and achieving semi-structural bond strength levels within a 48-hour timeframe.
Ideal ApplicationsThe unique combination of properties makes 3M UV Activated Films and Tapes particularly well-suited for manufacturing scenarios where thermal stress and excessive pressure application present significant concerns. These adhesives excel in bonding small, precision components with minimal risk of damage.
