3M VHB Surface Cleaner 1L – Fast Evaporating, Residue-Free Degreaser for Adhesive Bonding 08986

3M VHB Surface Cleaner is a solvent-based preparation that removes light contaminants and oils before adhesive application. Unlike general-purpose cleaners, it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, which is critical for achieving maximum bond strength with VHB tapes and other adhesives.

Highlights

• Fast evaporation for efficient workflow
• Residue-free formula supports strong adhesive bonds
• 1 litre bottle for multiple applications
• Suitable for metals, plastics, glass, and painted surfaces (test first)

In daily use

Apply to a clean, lint-free cloth and wipe the surface before bonding. The cleaner degreases and prepares the substrate, ensuring optimal adhesion. Its clear liquid and characteristic solvent odour indicate active cleaning. Always use in a well-ventilated area and follow safety precautions for flammable solvents.
