3M™ Acrylic Plus Tape Series WT4100 is a tape very well suited for the attachment of elastomeric add-on-parts like seals to the car body or door.
The WT4100 Series shows very good adhesion to modern automotive surfaces and paints that are difficult to adhere to. One side of the tape is applied with a special pressure sensitive high performance adhesive to the painted surface or respective substrate. The other side is bonded to the elastomeric part trough heat activation. The heat activatable adhesive guarantees a durable bond especially to seals made of EPDM and TPE.This combination is well suitable for robot supported applications. The visco-elastic core guarantees good wet-out and conformability to the surface geometry. In addition, tape inner strength and excellent long- term stability are characteristic attributes.
FEATURES
- Outstanding adhesion to many automotive paints and MSE (Medium surface energy)
- Operating temperature up to 90°C.
- Optimized acrylate foam core for easy application and good adaptation to component
- Temperature, weather, UV and solvent
- Suitable for all manual and automatic application processes
BENEFITS
- 3M ™ Acrylic Foam Adhesive Tapes can compensate stress due to their unique viscoelasticity. In contrast to foam adhesive tapes (PE, PU adhesive tapes), they can cope with significant elongation differences between substrates in case of temperature
- Easy to use: The tape can be easily processed in multiple ways to cut and to
- Immediate initial adhesion: The initial adhesion allows immediate further processing without temporary support or
- Freedom of design: enables the easy differentiation of vehicle models through modified trim attachments without change of the body
- Sealing and damping properties: positive improvement of NVH
