Nowadays, auto parts manufacturers have more and more options for external adhesive solutions. It is not only a challenge to

select the right accessories to meet the installation requirements of the Oems, but also to ensure the optimal process efficiency.

 How to choose PE or acrylic foam tape correctly？

PE foam tape has been used in the automotive industry for many years and has excellent cold shock resistance below -40°C due
