3M 4952 White VHB Tape

3M™ VHB™ 4952 is a white, 0.045" (1.1 mm) tape which utilizes a low surface energy adhesive on both sides of a firm, acrylic foam core. This synthetic adhesive bonds to a variety of smooth surfaces, including lower surface energy substrates such as many plastics and powder coated paints. 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. It can replace rivets, welds and screws. The fast and easy to use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability. 3M™ VHB™ 4952 offers design flexibility with its viscoelasticity and powerful ability to bond to a variety of surfaces.
