The 5952 family of 3M VHB Tapes is a versatile range of tapes that utilize a modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a highly conformable foam core. This combination of strength, conformability, and adhesion makes the 5952 family one of the most capable and well-rounded 3M VHB Tapes available. It is specifically designed to adhere well to high, medium, and lower surface energy plastics and paints, metals, and glass. The tape is commonly used for bonding and sealing applications such as attaching polycarbonate lens over LCD, signage, and windows to post-painted control panels.
An Unconventional Foam Tape3M VHB Tapes were first invented in 1980 and have since become a unique and reliable solution for bonding applications. These tapes offer a combination of conformability and a strong, permanent bond. They are capable of adhering to a wide range of substrates, making them a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds, and other mechanical fasteners. Various industries, including construction, electronics, and automotive, rely on 3M VHB Tape for assembly, mounting, fastening, and sealing processes. The tape is used in the construction of skyscrapers, manufacturing of cell phones, installation of electronic highway signs, production of refrigerators, and the creation of architectural windows, among many other applications. It provides a consistent bond, outstanding durability, and excellent resistance to solvents and moisture.
Proven Reliability from 3M VHB Tapes3M VHB Tape offers a durable bond that surpasses the capabilities of mechanical fasteners. By eliminating the need for rivets and screws, the tape enhances the appearance of finished goods while providing immediate handling strength. In most cases, using 3M VHB Tape is a quicker process compared to drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesive. The tape is versatile and can be used both indoors and outdoors for various applications, including window, door, and sign assembly, electronics, construction, and numerous other industrial uses. It is chemically resistant, UV stable, and temperature stable, making it suitable for use in extreme environments. The unique acrylic chemistry of 3M VHB Tape ensures its durability and resistance to change over time, making it a long-lasting and reliable bonding solution.
