Dream, Design, Deliver with the 4941 Family of 3M VHB Tapes

The 4941 family of 3M VHB Tapes is a versatile range of tapes that utilize a multi-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable foam core. This combination of strength, conformability, and adhesion makes the 4941 family one of the most capable and well-rounded 3M VHB Tapes available. It is specifically designed for good adhesion to metals, glass, and other medium to high surface energy materials. The tape can be used for various applications, including stiffener bonding, sealing polycarbonate lens over LCD, windows to painted control panels, and mounting vinyl wiring ducts and conduit channels.

An Unconventional Foam Tape

3M VHB Tapes were first invented in 1980 and have since become a unique and innovative solution for bonding. These tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond, making them highly effective for a wide range of substrates. 3M VHB Tape is a reliable alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners such as screws, rivets, and welds. It is used in the assembly, mounting, fastening, and sealing processes of various products, including skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, and architectural windows. The tape offers a consistent bond, outstanding durability, and excellent resistance to solvents and moisture.

Proven Reliability from 3M VHB Tapes

3M VHB Tape provides 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 versatile line of tapes can be used both indoors and outdoors for various applications, including window, door, and sign assembly, electronics, construction, and many other industrial applications. The tape is chemically resistant, UV stable, and temperature stable, making it suitable for use in extreme conditions. Its unique acrylic chemistry ensures long-lasting durability and resistance to change over time.
