3M VHB Tape 4950, White, 1/2 in x 36 yd, 45 mil, 1 Roll

Product Description 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4950 is a double-sided tape comprised of a general-purpose acrylic adhesive with a firm, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 45 mil (1.1 mm) when applied and requires no fixturing or curing time. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. Offering seamless joining and minimal surface preparation, this easy-to-use bonding method keeps surfaces smooth and enhances the appearance of applications involving thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. Providing adhesion to a broad range of materials from metals, glass, and other high surface energy substrates, the advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly for long-term durability. It performs in applications for short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C). These attributes make 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4950 a reliable choice to take on a variety of bonding and sealing applications in transportation, signage, displays, general industrial, appliance, and electronics. Discover the many ways to apply the powerful bonding potential of 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4950. You can trust the science behind 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4950 and the other products in the 3M™ VHB™ 4950 Tape Family designed to excel in applications where long-lasting bonding, high shear strength, and viscoelastic properties are needed. Developed and introduced by 3M in 1980, the technology in this family is engineered to promote productivity, reliability, and durability, making it one of the most capable and versatile 3M™ VHB™ Tapes. The unique acrylic chemistry provides UV and chemical resistance that offers stable and dependable performance. With a variety of tape thicknesses to address diverse industrial requirements, you can be sure to find the right solution that brings exemplary results across many industries. Whether the product is used to perform stiffener to panel, signage applications, or a range of other uses, a 3M expert will consider all the aspects of your operation and determine which tape is best for you. From the Manufacturer 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4950 replaces screws, rivets and studs to permanently adhere one substrate to another while spreading the stress load across the entire length of the joint. Once materials are joined with 3M VHB Tape, a virtually indestructible weld is created. 3M™ VHB™ tape combines the most conformable acrylic foam with modified acrylic adhesive. The result is an extraordinarily strong tape that adheres to the broadest range of substrates, including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, glass/epoxy, MSE plastics such as rigid PVC, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS and polystyrene, most powder-coated paints, painted or sealed wood and concrete. VHB tape can be used both indoors and out in a variety of applications, including permanent sign and panel mounting, general industrial, maintenance and repair.3M™ VHB™ Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, marine electronics, architectural windows, recreational vehicles and trailers all rely on specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening and sealing process.For more than a century, 3M has applied innovation and technology to improving our customers’ lives and supporting their business goals. Today the company, from its headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota, serves industrial and commercial customers and consumers in nearly 200 countries. 3M Industrial Adhesives and Tapes include application-specific products that provide durability, strength, and special characteristics such as temperature resistance and short- and long-term protection. The 3M brand, across thousands of products, represents consistency, superior quality, and value.
