3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape EX4508 is a series of deep black, double-coated acrylic foam tapes designed for the attachment of automotive exterior trim parts – without the use of adhesion promoter. 3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape EX4508 offer an advanced adhesive system – on both sides of the product – that adheres well to traditional, medium surface energy, and scratch- and mar-resistant automotive paint and polymer systems. The product is available in 1.1 mm (45 mil) and 1.52 mm (60 mil) calipers.
FEATURES
- Primerless adhesion capability – allowing for adhesion to medium surface energy plastics without the use of adhesion promoter on both liner and non-liner sides of the product.
- Excellent adhesion to traditional, low surface energy, and scratch and mar resistant automotive paints
- Unique foam core that provides stress relaxation when high application loads are encountered, while maintaining tight bond-line aesthetics under normal conditions.
- Deep black color which provides excellent bond-line appearance.
BENEFITS OF 3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape EX4508
- Viscoelastic Flexibility: unique formula for excellent adhesion and stress relaxation qualities that deliver conformability during thermal expansion and in periods of high stress.
- Ease of Use: tape can be die-cut into intricate shapes allowing for easy peel and stick bonding – enabling attachment in areas where mechanical attachment is difficult or impossible.
- Design Freedom: enables easy differentiation of vehicle models by providing flexibility to respond quickly to changes in design and materials, allowing for easy installation of dealer installed accessories.
