3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5580, Dark Grey, 0.8 mm

3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5580 is a dark gray acrylic foam tape with an additional acrylate adhesive on one side, designed for attaching automotive components such as elastomeric add-on parts, seals, body side moldings, trims, emblems, and inserts. It provides good adhesion to many automotive paint surfaces, excellent long-term stability, and very good conformability. Thanks to its unique viscoelastic properties, the tape helps relax stress within the bond line, supporting durable attachment even when substrates expand or contract due to temperature changes.

3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5580 consists of a dark gray acrylic foam core with an additional acrylate adhesive on one side. It is designed for the attachment of automotive components, particularly elastomeric add-on parts such as body and door seals, as well as body side moldings, trims, emblems, and inserts. The tape demonstrates good adhesion to many automotive paint surfaces, strong internal strength, excellent long-term stability, and very good conformability to component surfaces.In combination with a suitable primer, 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5580 provides good plasticizer resistance and supports reliable adhesion to elastomeric parts. Its optimized acrylate foam core enables easy application and good adaptation to surface geometries, making the tape suitable for both manual and automated application processes. With resistance to temperature, weathering, UV exposure, and solvents, and an operating temperature of up to 90 °C, it is well suited for demanding automotive environments.The tape’s unique viscoelastic properties help compensate for stress within the adhesive bond line. Compared with conventional PE or PU foam adhesive tapes, it can better accommodate elongation differences between substrates caused by temperature changes. In addition, its good initial adhesion often allows immediate further processing without temporary support or fixtures. 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5580 also supports greater design freedom by enabling differentiated trim attachments without changes to the vehicle body configuration, while its sealing and damping properties can contribute to improved NVH performance.
