Primerless Trim Component Attachment Tapes for Automotive Exterior Bonding

Low energy surfaces can enable increased water and dirt repellency or scratch resistance, as well as higher customer satisfaction and vehicle longevity, but they necessitate complex processes for car manufacturers in exterior bonding applications. Our primerless grade acrylic tapes provide exceptional viscoelastic and strong adhesion properties to LSE, automotive paint systems, and MSE surfaces, while still meeting the stringent requirements of OEM specifications. These tapes, with rapid adhesion build, conformable cores, excellent die-cutting capability, and static shear resistance, can eliminate the need for primer in tape application, offering a healthier and more sustainable process that saves time and reduces overall costs without compromising performance.
