RC 1017 performs on a par with 3M K500, K520 and 3M Primer 94 at a more economical price. It can be used on polyolefins (TPO, PP), ABS, cured EPDM and other low-surface-energy substrates that are hard to bond. The primer raises the surface energy so the tape's adhesive grips firmly and the bond does not fail over time.
Easy to apply by brush, spray or dip, no dilution needed, dries quickly at room temperature, and resists heat.
Key Applications
- Automotive double-sided tape (OEM and aftermarket)Emblems, mouldings, trim and body accessories on TPO, PP and ABS
- Automotive weatherstripBonding to TPO, PP and cured EPDM
- Stickers and graphic filmsAdhesion promoter on low-surface-energy surfaces
- Industrial and electronicsTape-mounting components and panels on hard-to-bond plastics
- ConstructionTapes and profiles on low-surface-energy materials
- DIY and craftImproving tape adhesion on household plastics
Benefits
- Performance equivalent to 3M Primer 94, K500 and K520 at a more economical price
- Suitable for TPO, PP, ABS, cured EPDM and other low-surface-energy substrates
- Apply by brush, spray or dip — no dilution
- Dries quickly at room temperature; bond strength develops soon after drying
- Heat resistant
Frequently Asked Questions
Can RC 1017 replace 3M Primer 94?
RC 1017 performs on a par with 3M K500, K520 and 3M Primer 94 at a more economical price. We recommend an application trial on your substrate before full production.
Which substrates suit RC 1017?
RC 1017 is designed for low-surface-energy substrates such as polyolefins (TPO, PP) and cured EPDM, which are difficult to bond without a primer.
How is RC 1017 applied?
Clean the surface, apply a thin coat of RC 1017 by brush, spray or dip, let it dry at room temperature, then apply the double-sided tape or sticker. No dilution is needed.
