Industrial bonding tape

3M VHB Tape 4950 is a double-sided acrylic foam tape designed for structural bonding on metal, glass and high surface energy plastics. It replaces rivets, spot welds and liquid adhesives in interior and exterior assemblies. The firm foam carrier delivers the highest foam strength in the VHB family and carries UL 746C listing.

Firm foam and paper liner

The closed-cell acrylic foam carrier measures 45 mils thick with a 3 mil white printed paper release liner, giving a total thickness of 48 mils. The viscoelastic foam absorbs energy and relaxes stress, while the general-purpose acrylic adhesive resists solvents and moisture. The half-inch width on a 36 yard roll suits long, continuous bonds in truck bodies, signage and furniture.

Check substrate and surface prep

Verify that the mating surfaces are metal, glass or high surface energy plastic and that they are clean, dry and free of contaminants before application. The tape is not designed for low surface energy plastics or porous materials without additional treatment. Confirm the operating temperature range and load requirements match the general-purpose acrylic adhesive specification.
