High-Bond Acrylic Foam Tape

FindTape XHB-40 is a clear, 40 mil thick double-sided acrylic foam tape designed for permanent structural bonding. It delivers holding power described as superior to mechanical fasteners such as screws and rivets. The tape suits industrial, automotive, and general assembly tasks requiring high shear and peel strength.

40 Mil Thickness Determines Gap Fill

The 40 mil foam thickness is the critical specification governing conformability and gap-filling capability on irregular surfaces. Thicker foam compensates for greater surface mismatch but changes the stress distribution across the bond line. Verify that this specific thickness matches the engineering requirements of your joint design before purchasing.

Thermal and Environmental Stability

Acrylic foam systems generally maintain bond integrity across a wide temperature range and resist UV degradation, moisture, and solvent exposure in normal use. The foam structure dissipates vibration energy, reducing noise transmission through the joint. No power draw or active cooling is involved with this passive bonding material.

Questions about this item

How thick is the 40 mil acrylic foam tape once it is applied?

The tape measures 40 mil thick, providing a substantial foam layer that conforms to surfaces and distributes stress across the bond line for a permanent high-strength hold.

What release liner does the XHB-40 use and how does it affect handling?

It is carried on a red, release-coated polyethylene liner that peels away cleanly for quick placement without leaving residue on the adhesive.

What surface preparation is recommended for low-energy plastics like polyethylene or polypropylene?

Thorough evaluation is recommended and an adhesion promoter such as 3M Scotch 4298 Adhesion Promoter should be used to improve bond strength on low-energy substrates.
