4225
White Acrylic Foam Tape
4225 is a 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape consisting of a white foamed acrylic foam core with additional acrylate adhesives on both sides. Typical applications are attachments of exterior add-on-parts such as body side moldings, trims etc. 4225 demonstrates a very good adhesion to many automotive surfaces, good inner strength, excellent long term stability as well as a very good adaptability to the areas adhered to. Based on the unique viscoelastic properties of the 4225, stress is decreased in the adhesive bond line so that durable bonds are formed.
