This selection chart is intended as an initial guide for obtaining the appropriate 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape for general applications. Since applications vary with materials, stress, procedures, environmental exposures, etc., it is important to determine through testing the most suitable 3M acrylic foam tape for a specific application. This chart cannot take into account every variable for each application. In addition, many plastic substrates can be difficult to adhere to and may require the use of a 3M™ Adhesion Promoter to ensure a reliable bond. Please consult with your 3M Automotive technical service or sales representative for further help and information.
