3M™ VHB™ Tape 4951
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4951 offers a fast, easy-to-use permanent bonding method with high strength and long-term durability. With its white color and 0.045 in (1.1 mm) thickness, it features a low temperature applicable adhesive on both sides of a firm acrylic foam core. This tape can replace mechanical fasteners like rivets, welds, and screws, as well as liquid adhesives, providing virtually invisible fastening that keeps surfaces smooth, making it ideal for transparent applications.
Part of the 4951 family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes, the 4951 tape utilizes a low temperature applicable adhesive that can be bonded down to 32°F (0°C). It utilizes a firm foam and can be used on a variety of substrates including metals, glass, and high surface energy paints and plastics. Applications for this tape include stiffener, panel, decorative material, and trim attachment.
- Low-temperature application adhesive allows bonding at temperatures as low as 0°C (32°F), making it ideal for cold-weather assembly environments.
- Strong permanent bond replaces screws, rivets, welding, and liquid adhesives for a cleaner and more reliable attachment.
- Firm acrylic foam core provides excellent strength, durability, and long-term performance.
- Bonds effectively to metals, glass, painted surfaces, and high surface energy (HSE) plastics.
- Creates a durable seal against water, moisture, dust, and environmental exposure.
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive provides immediate handling strength, reducing assembly and installation time.
- Virtually invisible bond line improves product appearance by eliminating visible mechanical fasteners.
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications with excellent resistance to weather, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations.
- Helps absorb vibration and thermal expansion, improving the durability of bonded assemblies.
- Supports lightweight and modern designs by enabling the use of thinner and dissimilar materials.
