3M 5952 VHB Tape 45 mil
3M 5952 VHB Tape is a black, double-coated acrylic foam tape designed for heavy-duty mounting. It bonds a broad range of substrates including most powder coated paints. The tape comes on a red film release liner with a 3 inch diameter core. It replaces mechanical fasteners in many interior and exterior applications.
Sustained load behaviour
The acrylic foam core is viscoelastic, giving the tape energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties under continuous load. This provides outstanding durability performance with excellent solvent and moisture resistance. The bond maintains strength over time rather than relaxing quickly. Rough surfaces may require additional tape area for equivalent holding power.
Load-to-area ratio
The manufacturer recommends using four square inches of 5952 VHB tape for every one pound of load. This single specification determines whether the 15 foot roll provides sufficient bonding area for the intended weight. Insufficient tape area relative to load will result in bond failure.

Questions about this item
Does the black 45 mil 5952 VHB tape generate any heat or noise during continuous mounting duty?
The tape is a passive acrylic foam adhesive with no electrical or moving parts, so it produces no heat and no noise while holding a bond.
What surface preparation or primers do I need to have on hand before applying the 1 in wide 5952 VHB tape?
Clean the substrate with isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, and apply firm pressure; no separate primer is required for most powder coated paints and smooth surfaces.
Will the 15 ft roll of 5952 VHB tape bond reliably to older powder coated panels I want to keep?
Yes, the modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of the conformable foam core is designed for adhesion to most powder coated paints, including aged panels.
