Product Introduction
3M™ Structural Adhesive Tape SAT1010 is an expandable, single-layer epoxy adhesive tape that delivers structural bonding strength for automotive Body-in-White (BIW) applications. It is specifically designed to bond and isolate dissimilar materials like steel and aluminum. Applied during the BIW process, the tape expands and cures in the e-coat oven to fill and seal small gaps, forming a continuous barrier that prevents electrical conductivity and helps stop galvanic corrosion. As a cleaner alternative to liquid adhesives, SAT1010 simplifies manufacturing, reduces process variability, and can be integrated into automated application systems. This innovative tape supports vehicle lightweighting goals by enabling the use of mixed materials while ensuring a robust, repeatable, and corrosion-resistant bond.
3M™ SAT1010 Features
- Corrosion Prevention: Helps prevent corrosion, including galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
- Bonds & Isolates: Effectively joins and isolates dissimilar materials like steel and aluminum.
- Enables Automation: Suitable for high-speed, automated application to improve production efficiency.
- Gap Filling & Sealing: Expands during cure to fill gaps and prevent water ingress.
- Process Simplification: Offers a clean, repeatable process compared to liquid solutions.
- Dimensional Stability: Provides consistent thickness to reduce application variability.
- Oil Tolerant: Adheres well to oily surfaces common in BIW processes.
- Lightweighting Enabler: Helps OEMs meet weight reduction requirements by facilitating mixed-material designs.
