3M Acrylic Foam Tape 19mm x 33m

The 3M Acrylic Foam Tape, measuring 19mm in width and 33m in length, is a high-performance double-sided adhesive solution engineered for demanding bonding tasks. This tape utilizes advanced acrylic foam technology to create a strong, permanent bond that distributes stress across the entire length of the adhesive joint. Its composition ensures exceptional resistance to weather, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor applications where structural integrity is paramount.

Advantages

This acrylic foam tape offers superior adhesion to a wide variety of automotive, industrial, and construction surfaces, including metals, plastics, and painted materials. The viscoelastic properties of the foam core allow it to conform to irregular surfaces and absorb vibrations, which helps maintain a secure bond even under dynamic stress. Furthermore, the tape provides a clean, aesthetic finish by eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners like screws or rivets, thereby preventing corrosion and surface damage.

Suitable for

• Automotive trim and emblem attachment
• Industrial assembly and component mounting
• Construction and architectural panel bonding
• Signage and display fabrication

This tape may not be suitable for applications involving surfaces with low surface energy, such as certain types of polyethylene or polypropylene, unless a specialized primer is used. It is also not recommended for use on porous or dusty surfaces where a secure bond cannot be established, or for structural load-bearing applications that exceed the adhesive's shear strength limits.

Key specifications

• Width: 19mm
• Length: 33m
• Material: Acrylic foam
• Adhesive type: Double-sided
• Resistance: Weather, moisture, and temperature

To achieve the best results, ensure that the application surfaces are clean, dry, and free of oil, grease, or dust. Use an appropriate solvent to wipe the surfaces before application. Apply the tape firmly to one surface, remove the protective liner, and press the second component onto the tape with uniform pressure. The bond strength will increase over time as the adhesive wets out the surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the surface energy of the materials being bonded
• Ensure the application temperature is within the recommended range for optimal adhesion
• Check the required width and length for your specific project
• Consider the need for a surface primer for difficult substrates

For maximum performance, allow the bond to cure for at least 24 hours at room temperature before subjecting the assembly to significant stress or environmental exposure.
