Supersedes technical data sheet dated October 2008
General Description
3M™ Wire Harness Tape BT3005 is an acrylic foam, double-face tape developed for use in automobile interiors. This tape provides excellent initial and static performance against substrates that have uneven surfaces. 3M Wire Harness Tape BT3005 is primarily intended for the attachment of wire harness assemblies to automobile headliners.
3M Wire Harness Tape BT3005 offers the following features, advantages and benefits:
•
Demonstrates excellent initial adhesion and static performance against substrates that have uneven surfaces
•
Reduced VOC emissions as compared to current products – meets Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) Guidelines for Reducing Vehicle Cabin VOC Concentration Levels
•
Can be applied on various headliner materials , often without special surface treatment
•
Exhibits good workability due to high tape modulus, ease of cutting and wet-out
•
Demonstrates superior heat resistance
•
High visibility due to blue color
Applications
3M Wire Harness Tape BT3005 is used in the attachment of wire harness assemblies to automobile headliners and similar applications.
