Primerless Trim Component Attachment Tapes for Automotive Exterior Bonding

Low energy surfaces can allow for increased water and dirt repellency or scratch resistance, and higher customer satisfaction and vehicle lifetime, but require complex processes for automakers in exterior bonding applications. Our primerless grade acrylic tapes offer outstanding viscoelastic and strong adhesion properties to LSE, automotive paint systems and MSE surfaces while still meeting the tough demands of OEM specifications. These tapes with fast adhesion build, conformable cores, excellent die-cuttability and static shear resistance can eliminate the need for primer in the tape application, offering a healthier and more sustainable process that saves time and reduces overall cost without sacrificing performance.
