3M 06397 Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape, 1/2 in x 10 yds, Black
- 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape 06397 features two adhesives, one on each side of a strong, conformable 1.52 mm closed-cell acrylic foam core. Our liner-side adhesive is formulated for bonding to automotive paint systems, and the non-liner-side bonds to metals and plastics used in automotive components. Both adhesives deliver excellent initial tack and adhesive build.

- The 3M 06397 tape can also be referred to as 3M automotive attachment tape, 3M acrylic plus tape 06397, 3M trim mounting tape 06397, 3M foam bonding tape, and 06397 acrylic foam tape.
3M 06397 Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape is engineered for demanding trim and molding bonding in automotive exteriors. It combines robust adhesion and stress-relieving foam core to maintain strong bonds on complex shapes and differential substrates.
Q: Can this tape adhere to plastic trim parts such as polypropylene or ABS?
A: Yes. One side of the tape is formulated for adhesion to plastic materials. For optimal adhesion on low surface energy plastics, 3M recommends using 3M Adhesion Promoter 06396 on the substrate before applying the tape.
Q: What is the maximum thickness this tape can handle compared to substrate mismatch?
A: The 1.52 mm thickness gives the foam core more ability to absorb mismatch between parts, making it suitable for applications where trim and substrate surfaces are not perfectly flush.
Q: How should the tape be applied to ensure a secure bond?
A: Clean and scuff both surfaces, apply firm pressure (preferably using a roller), and allow time for adhesive build. For plastic parts, prime with 3M 06396. Avoid bending parts sharply before adhesive cures fully.
