3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 4218P features two adhesives, one on each side of a 1.12 mm acrylic foam core, designed for robust performance and shear strength on automotive surfaces such as clear coats. The liner-side adhesive is formulated for high initial and final adhesion to rigid clear coat systems. The non liner-side works on plastics and other common trim materials.
Designed for Rigid and Many Non Rigid Clear Coat Systems
Developed specifically for attaching exterior trim and other parts to automotive clear coat systems, our 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 4218P features a dark gray, 1.14 mm acrylic foam core with two different adhesives – one for each side of the application. The liner side adhesive is excellent for bonding to automotive trim and other components. The non liner side adhesive is formulated for very high initial and final adhesion to scratch and mar resistant paint systems. The viscoelastic foam core conforms well even to complex geometries. It is engineered for stress relaxation when exposed to high stress loads, and maintains bond line aesthetics under normal stress loads. The dark gray color of 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 4218P gives a pleasing bond line aesthetic. A red liner printed with the 3M logo provides easy one piece release for efficient application.
3M recommends the use of 3M™ Automotive Adhesion Promoter 06396 for tape to part adhesion with 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 4218P on all parts, especially on plastics such as RIM, TPO, PPO, PP and PC.
