How 3M Acrylic Foam Tape layers work together

  • Product cross-section of acrylic foam tape with numbered callouts 1-4.

    This tape delivers flexibility with balanced performance and value.

    1. Polyethylene liner
    Dark red, polyethylene liner enables easy release and overall ease-of-use, plus it’s compatible with existing splicing and tabbing tapes. The lower liner release offers easy removal of liner from tape, improving uptime.

    2. High performance acrylic adhesive
    With very high initial and final adhesion to medium surface and high surface energy automotive paints and substrates, the adhesive also provides excellent performance at a wide variance of temperatures.

    3. Highly conformable foam core
    Following the shrinkage and elongation of the plastic part caused by temperature change, the foam core also has good stress relaxation properties and maintains bond-line aesthetics under normal stress loads.

    4. High performance acrylic adhesive
    Providing final adhesion and holding power to automotive substrates, this acrylic adhesive meets a number of OEM specifications and excels in a variety of weather conditions.
