Ease of use combined with extremely powerful bond Our 3M VHB Tape contains a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic characteristics. This results in an exceptionally powerful double-sided foam tape that adheres to a wide range of substrates, including aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel, composites and plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, painted or varnished wood and concrete. Our adhesive tapes offer excellent shear strength, formability, adhesion and temperature resistance. These tapes are widely used in many different industries, including transportation, equipment, electronics, construction, in advertising and display products and for general industrial applications. Reliable adhesion to various material types with the necessary strength and speed for permanent applications. Recommended applications: Decorative materials, trims, nameplates and logos, electronic displays, fixing panels to frame and reinforcing material on panels Invent, design and realise your products with 3M VHB Tapes' 4941 product range. 3M VHB Tape 4991 is part of the 4941 family of 3M VHB Tapes. The tape uses a versatile acrylic adhesive applied to both sides of the deformable foam base. Combining strength, formability and adhesion, this product range offers you the most suitable and universally applicable 3M VHB Tapes. The tape is specially designed for high adhesion to metals, glass, and other materials with medium to high surface energy. In addition, the tape has good resistance to plasticisers. The tape can be used in fixing stiffening profiles, sealing polycarbonate lenses on LCDs, glasswork on painted control panels, and in fixing vinyl wiring tubes and cable trays. It is part of the industrial professional range that comes in a blister pack with descriptions in several languages. An unconventional foam tape In 1980, 3M invented the VHB Tapes, the first of their kind. These unique tapes combine formability with strong, permanent adhesion. The result is a product range with extremely powerful tapes that adhere to a wide range of substrates. 3M VHB Tape has proven to be a great alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other mechanical fasteners. From skyscrapers to mobile phones, matrix signs, refrigerators and architectural windows. In these and many other products, this special adhesive tape is used during one or more steps in the assembly, installation, fixing and sealing processes. This proven and reliable tape offers consistent adhesion, excellent durability and is extremely resistant to solvents and moisture. At 3M, we stand behind all our products. We can help you design your products and offer technical support when you need it. Proven reliability of 3M VHB Tapes 3M VHB Tape provides a durable bond in a way that is impossible with mechanical fastening methods. This tape provides a very attractive end product without unsightly rivets or screws. At the same time, the tape offers immediate processing strength. In most cases, the bonding process with 3M VHB Tape is much faster than is possible via drilling, fastening or the use of a liquid adhesive. Our versatile tapes can be used both indoors and outdoors for all kinds of things, such as mounting windows, doors and signs, in electronics, construction and in countless other industrial applications. 3M VHB Tapes are resistant to chemicals, UV radiation and are temperature resistant: suitable for both desert temperatures in Dubai and chilly Canadian winters. The unique acrylate-based chemical composition is extremely durable and weather-resistant. This high-performance tape remains reliable even in the long term.
