3M™ Structural Adhesive Tape SAT1010M
Technical Data Sheet
3M™ Structural Adhesive Tape SAT1010M is a single layer-epoxy based
adhesive tape for the Automotive industry (BIW) formulated for metal bonding
applications. This tape is designed to provide structural bonding strength forvarious applications on metal components and for the bonding and isolation ofdissimilar materials. In addition to bonding performance, the tape features gap
filling properties due to expansion function.
The tape is applied during body-in-white process, run through the automotive
paint pre-treatment process, and then the E-coat process. In the E-coat oven,the tape expands and cures under the conditions described below. During thepaint process, SAT1010M provides an isolation barrier between two dissimilarmaterials, helping to guard against galvanic corrosion.
SAT1010M is available in levelwound rolls or as die-cuts. The tapedemonstrates good compatibility with stamp oils and features broad adhesive
gap and bake tolerances.
Note: Body-in-white ovens may lead to performance defects of SAT1010M.
Please consult with your 3M technical service representative for specificapplications.
