3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5344, Gray, 1.14 mm

3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5344 (PDF, 175.6 Kb), Gray, 1.14 mm is a medium density foam tape providing a balance of conformability and strength. The acrylic foam core has unique viscoelastic properties that allow it to elongate and relax when put under a load, thereby minimizing stress on the adhesive bond line. 3M AFT 5344 has two different adhesives — one on each side of the tape for effective bonding.

This tape has a liner side adhesive for bonding to automotive paint surfaces, and a non-liner side adhesive for bonding to exterior trim parts. Since product performance will depend on actual conditions within a specific application, it is essential that the user evaluate the 3M product to determine whether it is fit for a particular material purpose and suitable for the user's method of application.

A red, 3M branded liner provides easy one-piece release for efficient application.

3M recommends the use of 3M™ Adhesion Promoter for tape-to-part adhesion with 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5344 on all parts, especially plastics such as RIM, TPO, PPO, PP and PC.
