Very High Bond (VHB) and Ultra High Bond (UHB) Tapes

3M VHB Tape provides the convenience and simplicity of a tape fastener and are ideal for use in many interior and exterior structural bonding applications. In many situations, they can replace rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives and other permanent fasteners. These VHB tapes are made with acrylic foam which is viscoelastic in nature. This gives the foam energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties which provides these tapes with their unique characteristics. The acrylic chemistry provides outstanding durability performance. The tapes have excellent durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance.

All of the 3M VHB tapes are converted in house into shorter length rolls to allow our customers more options.

3M 4905 VHB Tape is excellent for applications where an aggressive double-sided clear or colorless tape is desired. The general purpose adhesive on both sides is suitable for high surface energy substrates including metal, glass and high surface energy plastics. Application ideas include sealing between inner and outer dome of skylights, attaching handles to sliding glass doors, mounting back lit translucent signs and edge bonding resin filled glass.

3M 4950 VHB Tape is typically used on metal, glass and high surface energy plastic substrates. It can be used for attaching stiffeners in air conditioners, office furniture and telecommunications equipment. Also, to bond aluminum skin to steel support of truck, vans, ambulances or to bond architectural signs to frames. The firm foam used in 4950 provides the highest level of foam strength in the 3M VHB family. UL Listing 746C.

3M 5952 Heavy Duty Mounting VHB Tape is black, double-coated VHB adhesive tape with an acrylic foam core. A modified acrylic adhesive is on both sides of very conformable foam which provides adhesion to the broadest range of substrates/surfaces, including most powder coated paints. Comes on a red film release liner. Recommended to use 4 square inches of 5952 VHB tape for every 1 pound of load; although rough surfaces may require additional tape.

3M 06376

Automotive Attachment Tape is a .030-inch (30 mil) thick, OEM-approved acrylic foam with high performance acrylic adhesives on both sides. It has good peel and shear adhesion, good internal strength, good conformability and good plasticizer resistance. Typical applications on cars would include the attachment of wheel lip molding, door edge molding, badges, nameplates, emblems and other lightweight body side molding and trim. Not recommended for medium- to heavy-weight trim.

3M 06394

Automotive Attachment Tape is a .090-inch (90 mil) thick medium-density gray acrylic foam tape with high performance acrylic adhesives on both sides and a red release liner. The tape uses automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) approved acrylic foam core and adhesive technology. 3M 6394 is characterized by high peel and shear adhesion, high internal strength, high conformability and excellent plasticizer resistance. Designed for reliable attachment of a wide variety of automotive exterior and interior trim on cars including running boards, ground effects, claddings, rocker panel moldings, spoilers, wheel flares, bumper trim and other larger or heavier automotive trim components

 

 

Foil Tapes

AF20 Aluminum Foil TapeJVCC AF20 Aluminum Foil Tape (2 inch wide

An all weather aluminum foil tape for general purpose use. It is a dead soft high tensile 2 mil thick aluminum foil coated with an aggressive acrylic adhesive system on a removable paper liner. Its malleable foil conforms well to irregular and curved surfaces; and will perform well at both low and elevated temperatures. It can also be applied at low temperatures. JVCC AF20 Foil Tape is used for vapor barrier protection, waterproof sealing, heat reflection & dissipation, masking in paint stripping and electroplating, and sealing plastic automation plateware for use in biotechnology research. The wider width 3 and 4 inch is also used to cover over and seal seams in Hexayurt shelters.

 

CFL-5CA Copper Foil Tapecopper

A 1 oz. rolled copper foil which provides excellent solderability and conformity. Used for RFI/EMI (electromagnetic interference/radio-frequency interference) shielding applications in the electrical/electronics industry (used to shield integrated circuit chips, cables and motors). CFL-5CA is coated with an acrylic adhesive which is uniformly dispersed with conductive spheres. Its conductive adhesive is ideal for printed circuit board modification, security-alarm circuit repairs, and prototype wiring-board layout and design. Also for cable wrapping to provide EMI/RFI shielding, seaming of EMI/RFI shielded rooms for electrical continuity, static charge draining and for surface contact to non-solderable materials (e.g. aluminum or plastics). The copper foil sheet resistivity is 0.003 Ohms/square inch. Its aggressive acrylic adhesive system creates a superior bond. Annealed and non-tarnishing, bright copper color. Flammability: File #130121, UL 510, Section 4. Can also be used for decorative arts & crafts projects.
