About 3F GmbH
3F GmbH is a developer and manufacturer of technical adhesive tapes for a wide range of industrial applications. The company coats and converts millions of square meters of self-adhesive materials every year and supplies numerous industries in Germany and abroad. The product portfolio includes unsupported transfer tapes, double-sided tapes with carriers made of stitch-bonded fabric, woven fabric, film or paper nonwoven, foam tapes made of PE, PU, PVC and cellular rubber (EPDM, CR, natural rubber) as well as single-sided tapes for the building envelope. The adhesives used are solvent-free polyacrylates, hotmelt (synthetic rubber) and the company's own UV-crosslinked HPA technology, which works without solvents, water and VOCs. In addition to series production, 3F offers adhesive coating as contract manufacturing, adhesive tape development in cooperation with customers, and private-label production with printed carriers, cores, packaging and cartons. Customers include industrial companies, trading companies and tape converters from sectors such as automotive and transportation, construction, industry and trade, healthcare as well as energy.
