3M KP81127 Double-sided Acrylic Foam Tape 7/8 in 20 Yd 47 Mil

Product Description

The 3M KP81127 is a black double-sided acrylic foam tape designed for bonding exterior and interior automotive trim components. It features a 47 mil thick acrylic foam carrier with acrylic adhesive on both sides, delivering a conformable, gap-filling bond to irregular or curved surfaces. The continuous roll format measures 7/8 inch wide by 20 yards long, making it practical for production and repair applications alike. It maintains adhesion across a wide temperature range, from -50 degrees F to 250 degrees F, supporting use in demanding under-hood-adjacent and exterior environments. Licensed automotive technicians, body shop professionals, and trim installers are the primary users of this tape.

This tape is suited for attaching emblems, moldings, cladding, and other trim pieces to vehicle body panels in both interior and exterior applications. The acrylic foam construction provides vibration dampening and weather resistance, which is critical in automotive environments exposed to thermal cycling, moisture, and road vibration. It works on painted metal, plastic, and composite substrates commonly found in automotive trim assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed for exterior and interior automotive trim attachment applications, including emblems, body side moldings, and cladding panels on painted metal, plastic, and composite surfaces.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean bonding surfaces thoroughly with an appropriate solvent wipe to remove oils, wax, and debris. Apply firm pressure across the full tape length to ensure complete contact between the adhesive and both substrates. Allow adequate dwell time before subjecting the bond to stress loads, particularly in cold-weather installations. This product is intended for installation by qualified automotive technicians or body shop professionals following applicable manufacturer procedures.
