  • ColorBlack
  • Double-sided foam bonds without mechanical fasteners

3M 4496 Double-Sided Foam Tape

This black polyethylene foam tape measures two inches wide and five yards long with a one-sixteenth inch thickness. It suits assembly, manufacturing, construction and general maintenance tasks both indoors and outdoors. The continuous roll format allows users to cut exact lengths for each job. Adhesive on both sides bonds surfaces without mechanical fasteners.

Temperature range 50 to 180 degrees F

The tape performs reliably between 50 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit, covering typical indoor and outdoor conditions. Below 50 degrees Fahrenheit adhesion may weaken and above 180 degrees Fahrenheit the foam can degrade. Within this window the foam conforms to irregular surfaces and distributes stress evenly. Extreme cold or sustained heat beyond the stated limits reduces holding power.

Series 4496 polyethylene foam core

The 4496 series uses a black polyethylene foam core that provides gap-filling and vibration-damping properties. This construction handles moderate loads on metals, plastics and painted surfaces where a conformable bond is needed. It is not designed for structural loads or permanent outdoor exposure beyond the rated temperature range. Users requiring higher shear strength or different chemical resistance should select another product.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/16 in foam thickness bridge small gaps between the 2 in tape and an uneven older surface?

The 1/16 in polyethylene foam conforms to irregularities, helping the adhesive contact both the tape and the uneven surface across the full 2 in width.

How can I verify the 4496 tape is holding at the 50 to 180 °F performance range after installation?

Check that the bond remains secure through normal temperature swings; no edge lift or shear slip within the 50 to 180 °F range indicates proper performance.

Does the roll include a release liner, or must I buy one separately for the 5 yd length?

A liner is included with the continuous 5 yd roll, so no separate liner purchase is needed.
