- Provides excellent adhesive performance in various temperature conditions
- Follows the shrinkage and elongation of the plastic part caused by temperature changes
- Good initial adhesion allows immediate further processing, often without temporary support or fixture
- High final adhesion and peel strength
- Excels in a variety of weather, solvent and high temperature resistance
- Maintains bond-line aesthetics under normal stress loads
- Polyethylene liner enables easy liner release
- Suitable for both manual and automatic application processes
- Wide range of operating temperatures (-40°C - 120°C) allows for process optimization as tape can be applied before paint process
3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape GT6012 is a 1.2mm tape for the attachment of exterior trim parts on automobiles. The stress relaxation characteristics of the viscoelastic core, allow the tape to conform well to complex geometries and deliver excellent wet out.

This tape delivers flexibility with balanced performance and value.
1. 3M Branded Liner
Red polyethene, 3M branded liner features a subtle 3M logo-marking for easy identification. The liner is compatible with tabbing and splicing tapes to enable easy liner removal for improved production uptime and a broader process window.2. Highly conformable acrylic foam core
Following the shrinkage and elongation of the plastic part caused by temperature change, the foam core also has good stress relaxation properties and maintains bond-line aesthetics under normal stress loads.

Frequently asked questions
3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape GT6000 Series offers very good adhesion performance and high flexibility. These tapes are specifically designed for the attachment of automotive exterior and interior trim applications.
3M Acrylic Foam Tape GT6000 Series tapes feature a high-performance, acrylic-based adhesive on both sides of the tape’s core.
The processing, tabbing, and splicing of 3M Series GT6000 tapes will be comparable to other 3M Acrylic Foam Tapes.
We recommended 3M™ Tabbing Tape 5400, 5081, or 5082 for heat-bond tabbing or 5300 for pressure sensitive adhesive tabbing. An extended tab liner tab or heatbond tab is recommended instead of a pressure sensitive adhesive tab.
Yes. Please contact your 3M application engineer to request.
The product is designed to sustain a temperature range of -40°F to 200°F (-40°C to 90°C) over the life of the vehicle.
For a large number of paints, the final bond strength performance will be reached after 24h RT.
For information about tape performance at high vs. low temperatures, please contact your 3M application engineer representative.
3M Acrylic Foam Tape Series GT6000 tapes have been tested to, and pass, customer specifications for most common automotive solvents like gasoline, diesel fuel, washer solvent, etc. Solvent resistance is a function of type of solvent, time of exposure and temperature. For information about specific solvents, please contact your 3M application engineer representative.
OEM specification data packages are available upon request. Please contact your 3M Application Engineer regarding your specific data request.
