3M™ Structural Isolation Tape SIT2010

Designed to help prevent galvanic corrosion, 3M SIT2010 is a single-sided, die-cut tape solution offering serviceability that provides a durable and abrasion resistant isolation layer between dissimilar materials. Optimized for current OEM and tier processes, this material is designed to bond to standard stamping/drawing lubricants without surface treatment and cure in standard ecoat and paint bake oven cycles, offering process flexibility and process efficiency.

Target application segments where the isolation of dissimilar materials is required, such as: bumper, bed, body, upper-body structures, trailer, bed to frame, hinge brackets, or e-powertrain, and applications requiring ovens.

The product will be available as die-cut parts.

3M SIT2010 is a single-sided tape solution designed to provide an isolation layer between dissimilar materials. 3M SIT2010 bonds to one substrate and isolates against the second substrate. The solution structurally bonds to a variety of substrates and surfaces, including the ability to bond through standard stamping/drawing lubricants without surface treatment. Contact your regional application engineer for evaluation or testing for your specific application.

3M SIT2010 is 0.35 mm thick. Thickness information should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes. Product is die-cut based on the application and customer requirement.

3M SIT2010:
• Can be cured before or after part assembly, offering process flexibility
• Can be applied at the tier for final assembly for cure at the OEM, offering the potential for optimized system cost savings
• Is a single sided tape solution, allowing for serviceability and accessibility before and after OEM manufacturing
• Has the ability to be supplied in automation ready formats (such as a reel), or can be formatted for manual application, allowing process flexibility
• Bonds to metals with stamping or drawing lubes without surface treatment, reducing manufacturing costs associated with prep and cleaning
• Is optimized to cure in standard paint and ecoat bake ovens, allowing process optimization and the ability to potentially eliminate the need for separate curing cycles
• Can be cured at the tier location prior to the OEM processing

3M SIT2010 meets FAR 25.853 flammability horizontal burn test.

3M will work with you and your preferred equipment manufacturer. If you do not have a preferred equipment manufacturer, 3M can provide suggestions.

3M SIT2010 requires a thermal cure for a certain length of time at a given temperature. See the product technical data sheet for reference.

If you have an OEM application and need specification data, please contact your application engineer for support. 3M has global testing capabilities internally and works frequently with third party test organizations. 3M laboratories are IATF certified.
