3M VHB Tape 4949 is a black, double-sided tape made of a general-purpose acrylic adhesive and a firm, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 45 mil (1.1 mm) when applied and requires no time for curing. Designed to bond a variety of high surface energy (HSE) substrates, this easy-to-use method can help increase productivity by eliminating steps, such as drilling, welding, and other finishing work. Because of its high-strength performance, the tape bonds thin, dissimilar, and lightweight materials while offering a smooth and seamless alternative to using rivets, welds, fasteners, and screws. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly. It performs in applications for short-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C). This tape offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, and adhesion, making it a powerful bonding solution across numerous industries, including window and door assembly, signage, electronics, construction, and general industrial. Explore the versatility and durability of 3M VHB Tape 4949 for your next operation. Convenience Meets Extreme Bonding Power. 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 high surface energy (HSE) substrates, including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, acrylic, polycarbonate and painted or sealed wood and concrete. Our bonding tapes provide excellent shear strength, surface adhesion, durability and temperature resistance. Applications for this tape include stiffener bonding and panel and trim attachment.
