3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP is an extrudable high strength pressure-sensitive adhesive that requires little or no surface preparation for some substrates and offers immediate handling strength. This versatile material can be applied in variable widths and thicknesses and even around corners without wrinkles or gaps, and can provide an air- and watertight seal if desired. The hot bond line can be closed immediately with a second substrate, or a liner can be applied and the second substrate can be added to the cooled tape later. A stretch release feature allows the tape to be removed cleanly from a part by pulling parallel to the surface so the part can be reprocessed with minimal waste. Offers excellent adhesion to metals, glass, rubber, low surface energy (LSE) plastics, woven and non-woven textiles, and hard-to-bond materials, including slightly oily surfaces. This material has no special storage or curing requirements.

3M™ VHB™ Flame Retardant Tape 5958FR is a black, 40 mil (1.0 mm) double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with a conformable, foam core when applied and requires no curing time. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology offers secure bonding that performs on many painted and powder coated surfaces. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. It performs in applications for short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 300°F (149°C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200°F (93°C) and meets flame retardant test FAR 25.853. This tape balances strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to various surfaces, such as stainless steel. These attributes make 3M™ VHB™ Flame Retardant Tape 5958FR a reliable choice to take on a variety of bonding and sealing applications in transportation, appliance, electronics, construction, signage, and general industrial.

3M™ VHB™ Tape 4947F is a black, 45 mil (1.1 mm), multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a 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. 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.

3M™ VHB™ Tape 5915 is black, 16 mil (0.4 mm) double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with a conformable, foam core when applied and requires no curing time. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology offers secure bonding that performs on many painted and powder coated surfaces. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. It performs in applications for short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 300°F (149°C) or long-term use withstanding up to 250°F (121°C). This tape balances strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to various surfaces, such as stainless steel.

3M™ VHB™ Tape 4655 is a dark grey, 62 mil (1.6 mm), general purpose adhesive with firm foam that has the added feature of high temperature resistance. 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. These tapes utilize general purpose adhesive on both sides of firm foam. High temperature capability makes this family often suitable for bonding prior to high temperature paint processing. It is typically used on metal substrates such as aluminum, galvanized steel, and stainless steel. Applications for this tape include stiffener and panel attachment, including assembly before paint ovens, as well as decorative material and trim.

3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+ features a multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core and 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 a variety of surfaces, with temperature resistance of 230°C (450°F) for up to 4 hours. Commonly used in applications across a variety of industries including transportation, appliances, construction, sign and display, and general industrial. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, architectural windows, and more all rely on this specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening, and sealing process.
