3M™ Structural Sealing Tape 5231 is a white, 1.0 mm (0.04 in) thick, conformable, PVC-free structural sealing tape formulated to seal automotive body joints on hidden surfaces.
Formulated for Sealing Jointed Panels Combining excellent workability and professional-grade performance, 3M™ Melt Sealing Tape 5231 was developed for sealing jointed panels and offer optimal design freedom. This high modulus adhesive is applied as a tape, then heated to flow around the joints and cure to a smooth and ready-to-paint surface. Linerless, repositionable and tack-free, the tape is easily applied to clean or E-coated surfaces for improved workability. Blends in for a Perfect Appearance 3M™ Melt Sealing Tape 5231 enhances the overall appearance of the vehicle by conforming to irregular surfaces to cover imperfections and provide a smooth, paint-receptive surface. Readily conforming to irregular surfaces, the tape is well suited to cover spot welds, weld flash, pillowing, and other surface imperfections treatable in the sealer deck or paint shop. It can then be painted and supply the ideal base for perfect surfaces. Our tape leaves vehicles looking great because its presence is not noticeable after being painted. User-Friendly Workability and Reliable Performance Our tape becomes soft and flows while being heated and provides good sealing performance virtually anywhere it is applied. The tape doesn't require any special set up or equipment because it is possible to sufficiently cure in a conventional paint oven. Automotive technicians rely on it for uniform sealer thickness and to provide a smooth, ready-to-paint surface. It provides very high final adhesion once cured. Our tape does not include any plasticizer and excels in weather resistance and durability.
