3M Weatherstrip Attachment Tapes offer a number of advantages when compared to traditional weatherseal and gasket attachment methods such as pins, wire carriers, channels and liquid adhesives. Unlike other methods, 3M's system can be applied to most surfaces with instant adhesion, providing a continuous seal against moisture, dust and noise. 3M Weatherstrip Attachment Tape also offers increased seal design flexibility and lower overall systems costs. These tapes feature a heat-activated adhesive layer that provides a secure and durable bond to weatherstrip extrusions, gasket seals and other elastomeric materials. 3M provides product and equipment support for applying tape to the weatherstrip and then the weatherstrip to many surfaces, including automotive paints and plastics.
