3M™ VHB™ Tapes provide the convenience and simplicity of a tape fastener and are ideal for use in many interior and
exterior bonding applications. In many situations, they can replace rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives and other permanent
fasteners.
These 3M™ VHB™ Tapes are made with acrylic foam which is viscoelastic in nature. This gives the foam energy absorbing
and stress relaxing properties which provides these tapes with their unique characteristics. The acrylic chemistry provides
outstanding durability performance.
These tapes utilize a variety of specific foam, adhesive, color and release liner types to provide each product/family with
specific features. These features can include adhesion to specific or a broad range of materials, conformability, high tensile
strength, high shear and peel adhesion, resistance to plasticizer migration, and UL746C recognition. All 3M™ VHB™ Tapes
have excellent durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance.
Note:
All 3M™ VHB™ Tapes should be thoroughly evaluated by the user under actual use conditions with intended
substrates to determine whether a specific tape is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user’s method of application,
especially if expected use involves extreme environmental conditions.

3M™ VHB™ Tapes Adhesive Types:
Multi-Purpose Acrylic: This adhesive bonds to a wide range of materials including metals, glass, and high and medium surface
energy plastics and paints. This unique adhesive also has the ability to resist migration of plasticizers in vinyl substrates.
Modified Acrylic: This adhesive bonds to medium low surface energy paints and plastics, including many powder coated
paints in addition to the substrates listed with the multi-purpose acrylic adhesive (except plasticized vinyl).
General Purpose Acrylic: This adhesive bonds to most higher surface energy substrates including metal, glass and high
surface energy plastics.
Low Temperature Appliable Acrylic: This adhesive can make bonds down to 32°F (0°C), compared to 50°F (10°C) for most
acrylic adhesives. This adhesive system bonds to most high surface energy substrates including metal, glass and high surface
energy plastics.
Low Surface Energy: This high performance synthetic adhesive bonds to many lower surface energy substrates, including
many plastics and power coated paints, plus smooth general purpose substrates.
3M™ VHB™ Tapes Foam Types:
Conformable: This foam provides high strength with the capability of conforming to the irregularities of rigid substrates,
even when there might be slight mismatch.
Very Conformable: This foam provides the highest level of conformability while maintaining high internal strength.
Firm: This foam provides the highest level of foam strength in the 3M™ VHB™ Tapes family.
Clear: Not technically a foam, this solid acrylic material provides excellent clarity.

3M™ VHB™ Tape Families:
4941
This family utilizes multi-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of conformable foam. The adhesive provides
excellent adhesion to a broad range of high and medium surface energy substrates including metals, glass, and a
wide variety of plastics, as well as plasticized vinyl. The conformable foam provides good contact, even with
mismatched substrates. Available in gray and black.
This family matches the modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of very conformable foam, providing adhesion
to the broadest range of substrates, including most powder coated paints. Available in dark gray.
This family has general purpose adhesive on both sides of firm type foam. This family is typically used on
metal, glass and high surface energy plastic substrates. Available in white and black.
This family has multi-purpose adhesive on both sides of firm foam. Available in white.
This family of clear tapes is excellent for applications where clear or colorless is desired. The general purpose
adhesive on both sides is suitable for high surface energy substrates.
This family of tapes is based around the low temperature appliable acrylic adhesive system, utilized on both
firm and conformable foam types. These products are suitable for high surface energy substrates. Available in
white (firm foam) and gray (conformable foam).
This family utilizes the low surface energy adhesive on a firm foam. Available in white.
This family has a general purpose adhesive on both sides of firm foam. This family of tapes is typically used on
metal substrates, and has the added feature of high temperature resistance, making it often suitable for bonding
prior to high temperature paint processing. Available in dark gray.
This family has general purpose adhesive on the face side (the side that typically would be bonded first) and
multi-purpose adhesive on the liner side (the side exposed when the release liner is removed) of a conformable
foam. Available in white.

Static Shear
- ASTM D3654 - To stainless steel, tested at various temperatures and gram loadings. 0.5 in
2
(3.22 cm
2
). Will hold listed weight
for 10,000 minutes (approximately 7 days). Conversion: 1500 g/0.5 in
2
equals 6.6 lb/in
2
; 500 g/0.5 in
2
= 2.2 lb/in
2
.
Short Term Temperature Tolerance
- No change in room temperature dynamic shear properties following 4 hours conditioning at indicated
temperature with 100 g/static load. (Represents minutes, hours in a process type temperature exposure).
Long Term Temperature Tolerance
- Maximum temperature where tape supports at least 250 g load per 0.5 in
2
in static shear for 10,000
minutes. (Represents continuous exposure for days or weeks.
