Dream, design, deliver with 3M™ VHB™ Acrylic Foam Tape 5952. It is a black, 45 mil (1.1 mm) modified acrylic adhesive with a very conformable, foam core. It can replace rivets, welds, and screws. The fast and easy to use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability. It offers design flexibility with its viscoelasticity and powerful ability to bond to a variety of surfaces.
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 aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and painted or sealed wood and concrete. 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. The 5952 family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes utilizes modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a very conformable, adhesive 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 high, medium, and lower surface energy plastics and paints, metals, and glass. Applications for this tape include bonding and sealing polycarbonate, lens over LCD, signage, and windows to post-painted control panels.
Suggested Applications
- General purpose bonding
- Decorative material and trim
- Attach roof to roof bows
- Nameplates and logos
- Panel to frame
