Why Do we Choose 3M Tape?

there are 10 advantage for 3M tape.

1. No rust or surface deterioration.

Acrylic foam tape use eliminates the concern for rust development and
surface deterioration because it requires no drilling.

2. Preserved warranties.

OEM warranties are often considered void when Class A surfaces are compromised
by drilling. Acrylic foam tape provides field-proven adhesion for many applications without drilling.

3. No holes to patch.

Sometimes people choose to remove accessories or parts from their vehicles. By using
acrylic foam tape, there is no need to fill holes and repaint surfaces if a part needs removing. Acrylic foam

tapes can be removed with a special tool called 3M™ Scotch-Brite™ Stripe-off Removal Wheel.

4. No part loosening and vibration.

Mechanically attached assemblies can loosen and shift over time,
sometimes creating vibration or a rattling sound. When properly applied, acrylic foam tape provides a
reliable, permanent bond.

5. Less labor-intensive assembly.

The use of acrylic foam tape can eliminate steps in the installation process,
often requiring fewer parts and less labor.

6. Unique stress relaxation properties.

The stress relaxation properties of the tape’s foam core allow it to
expand and contract with temperature changes and to compensate for some part-to-vehicle fit mismatch.
The stress forces of an application are not concentrated at the adhesive bond line, but rather dissipated
throughout the foam core, providing excellent long-term performance.

7. Viscoelasticity.

The acrylic foam tape is viscoelastic, meaning it acts as both a liquid (viscous) and a solid
(elastic) at the same time. In its viscous (liquid) state, it flows into microscopic surface irregularities to
establish a strong adhesive bond. The elastic (solid) properties provide the internal or cohesive strength
necessary to maintain the bond. These viscoelastic properties also contribute to the stress relaxation
characteristics of the acrylic foam tape. They allow it to conform to surface irregularities and gaps,
allowing for a better fit by compensating for part-to-vehicle mismatches.

8. Aesthetically pleasing result.

Tape use eliminates unsightly bolt and screw heads. Surfaces remain clean
and smooth. In this way, tape mounting allows greater design flexibility than mechanical fasteners, and can
contribute to styling and aerodynamic design.

9. OEM-approved technology.

3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes are approved by automotive original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide.
10. Extensive tape testing and experience. 3M acrylic foam tapes are continuously being tested, developed and
improved to ensure that they meet the changing needs of the automotive market. 3M is in contact with
OEMs on a regular basis to remain on the forefront of market needs in the evolving automotive environment.
