What is 3MLSE160WF?
3MLSE160WF is a high-strength, double-sided acrylic foam tape from 3M designed to bond low surface energy materials without the need for primers. Its pressure-sensitive adhesive provides instant grip, while the 1.6mm thick foam core ensures conformability, vibration absorption, and long-term performance. This tape is suitable for demanding bonding applications across automotive, electronics, construction, and general industrial sectors.
