3M™ Membrane Switch Product with
Adhesive 200MP 7961MP
Product Details Regulatory Info/SDS

Product Description
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)data is available for this product at: 3m.com/FEA

3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP is a popular choice and industry standard, for graphic attachment and
general industrial joining applications. It provides outstanding adhesion to metal and high surface energy plastics. This
adhesive provides some initial repositionability for placement accuracy when bonding to plastics. It also performs well
after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles and provides the assurance the switch will perform through difficult
environmental conditions and millions of actuations.

Product Features

• Up to 400⁰F (204⁰C)short-term heat resistance

• Excellent solvent resistance
• Excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting

3M™ Double Coated Membrane Switch Spacers feature a 2.0 mil adhesive layer for industry-standard, high-performance
requirements.

Typical Environmental Characteristics

Environmental Resistance

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 increases as a function of time and
temperature as the adhesive further wets the surface and reaches maximum bond strength after 72 hours at room
temperature.

Temperature/Heat Resistance: 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive on polyester carriers is usable for short periods
(minutes, hours) at temperatures up to 400 ⁰F (204⁰C) and for intermittent longer periods (days, weeks) up to 300⁰F
(149⁰C).
Lower Temperature Service Limit: -40⁰F (-40⁰C).
