Our 3M™ VHB™ Tape consists of a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties. This provides an extraordinarily strong double sided foam tape that adheres to a broad range of substrates, including aluminium, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS and painted or sealed wood and concrete. Our bonding tapes provide excellent shear strength, conformability, surface adhesion and temperature resistance. They are commonly used in applications across a variety of markets including transportation, appliance, electronics, construction, sign and display and general industrial. Reliably bonds a variety of materials with strength and speed for permanent applications.
Recommended Applications: Decorative material and trim, Nameplates and logos; Electronic displays; Panel to frame; Stiffener to panel
3M™ VHB™ Tape 4947 belongs to the 4941 family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes. It utilizes a multi purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable foam core. The combination of strength, conformability and adhesion makes this family one of the most capable and well rounded 3M™ VHB™ Tapes. It is specifically designed for good adhesion to metals, glass and other medium to high surface energy materials. Further, it offers a good plastiziser resistance. Applications for this tape include stiffener bonding, sealing polycarbonate lens over LCD, windows to painted control panels and mounting vinyl wiring ducts and conduit channels.
An Unconventional Foam Tape
We invented 3M™ VHB™ Tapes in 1980 as the first of their kind. These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. The result is a family of extraordinarily strong tapes that adhere to a broad range of substrates. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, architectural windows and more all rely on this specialty bonding tape for one o
3M™ VHB™ Tape 4942F is a white, 0.8 mm thick, double coated acrylic foam tape with a high tack acrylic adhesive. It can replace rivets, welds and screws. It offers design flexibility with its viscoelasticity and powerful ability to bond to a variety of high surface energy substrates.
Strengths
Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability;Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength;Virtually invisible fastening keeps surfaces smooth;Black, 1.1 mm, multi-purpose adhesive and conformable acrylic foam core for good balance of strength and conformability in demanding applications; especially on high and medium surface energy substrates;Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welding, screws) or liquid adhesives: Eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding and clean-up;High dynamic stress absorption reduces vibration and impact stress;Creates a permanent seal against water, moisture and more;Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials;Offers a good plastiziser resistance.
Applications
Use for decorative material and trim, nameplates and logos, electronic displays, panel to frame, and stiffener to panel applications;Use in applications across a variety of markets including transportation, appliance, electronics, sign and display and general industrial
