What is a Preferred Converter?

You may be wondering, what does it mean to be a 3M™ Preferred Converter? The short answer is not everyone can be recognized as a 3M Preferred Converter. It is the highest designation any 3M partner can attain and is given to high-caliber partners, and Seal & Design is proud to be just that. Not only that, but having a 3M converter status allows us access to 3M-certified specialists and support services, access to cutting-edge products and solutions, and the most competitive pricing the industry offers.

3M RPX1000 Acrylic Foam Tapes

Highlighting our recent move to be be a 3M Preferred Converter, we’d like to highlight 3M™ RPX1000.

3M Acrylic Foam Tape Series RPX1000 tapes are designed for attachment of automotive exterior trim parts
such as wheel arch extensions, spoilers, and door moldings – without the use of adhesion.

3M Series RPX1000 tapes offer the following key features:

Excellent primerless adhesion on the non-liner side to medium and low surface
energy plastics
Confident application on part over a wide range of temperatures, as low as 5°C
Holding power in application temperatures up to 90°C on LSE plastics such as thermoplastic olefin (TPO),
polypropylene, and polypropylene/ethylene propylene diene monomer (PP/EPDM)
Very good adhesion to easy, medium and difficult paint systems on the tape liner side
Unique foam core provides stress relaxation when high application loads are encountered while maintaining tight
bond-line aesthetics under normal conditions
Capable of bonding to difficult paint systems depending upon the application.

Seal & Design understands that the development of automotive applications is typically driven by specification requirements and performance.
