3M 4950 VHB Foam Tape

This 3M 4950 VHB foam tape comes in a 12 in wide by 1 yd continuous roll with a 45 mil thickness. It is designed for assembly and manufacturing across automotive, aviation, construction, electronics and metalworking environments. The white firm foam carries an included liner and suits indoor or outdoor use. It bonds to ABS, acrylic, composites, glass, metal, polycarbonate and powder coated paints.

Temperature range and upgrade value

The tape performs continuously from 50 Degrees F up to 200 Degrees F. It replaces mechanical fasteners or liquid adhesives when a clean, immediate bond line is required and when the application must withstand vibration, thermal cycling or weather exposure without drilling or curing time. The jump is worth it when the substrate list matches and a high shear strength foam is specified.

Users and limitations

This product suits engineers and technicians who need a pressure sensitive acrylic foam tape for structural joining of the listed materials. It is not for buyers who require a thinner tape, a different colour or a temperature rating beyond the stated range. It is also not for applications involving substrates not named in the compatibility list such as low surface energy plastics without prior testing.

Questions about this item

What surface width does the 12 inch roll cover in a single pass?

The roll is 12 inches wide so one length covers a 12 inch surface without seams.

How do I apply the 45 mil 4950 tape so the bond holds?

Clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, press the full 12 inch width firmly with a roller, then wait for the adhesive to reach full strength before loading the joint.

When will the white foam tape need replacement in an outdoor mount?

The tape is rated from 50 to 200 degrees F; plan to inspect and replace it if the bond sees temperatures outside that range or shows foam degradation.
