1/2" X 5' MOLDING TAPE - 3M Automotive

The 3M Automotive 3609 Molding Tape is a professional-grade, double-sided acrylic foam tape designed for the permanent and secure attachment of automotive and industrial components. This high-performance tape provides a robust bonding solution for exterior and interior trim, emblems, and other vehicle parts, ensuring reliable adhesion even under demanding operational conditions for professional technicians and mechanics. Its viscoelastic foam core effectively adapts to dynamic stresses, maintaining bond integrity over time.

Key Features

• Permanent Acrylic Foam Construction: Utilizes high-strength acrylic foam for a lasting, secure bond across a wide range of components, ensuring long-term durability and performance in demanding applications.
• Versatile Adhesion System: Features an advanced acrylic adhesive system, providing strong and consistent attachment to diverse surfaces including painted metals, plastics, carbon fiber, and composites.
• Extreme Environmental Resistance: Engineered to withstand moisture, common automotive solvents, prolonged UV exposure, and impacts, ensuring bond integrity in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 120°C short-term).
• Stress Relaxation and Vibration Dampening: The viscoelastic foam core effectively mitigates stress from thermal expansion and vehicle movement, while simultaneously dampening noise and vibration for improved component stability.
• Efficient and Clean Application: Designed for straightforward measuring, cutting, and application, facilitating a clean, mess-free installation process without the need for specialized tools or liquid adhesives.

Applications

• Attaching vehicle body side moldings and trim panels.
• Mounting automotive emblems, badges, and nameplates.
• Securing plastic, metal, carbon fiber, and composite components to painted or unpainted surfaces.
• Installing wheel well trim, drip rail moldings, and bumper trim.
• Suitable for both interior and exterior automotive and industrial bonding tasks requiring a durable, permanent bond.
