Product Description:

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.

The tapes included in this data page represent products most commonly used by customers. Please refer to “3M™ VHB™ Tape Specialty

Tapes” technical data sheet for additional 3M™ VHB™ Tapes that may be required in special circumstances.

(P) or (F) after the product number designates that both a paper and film liner product version are available. [e.g. 4941 (paper liner) and 4941F (film liner), 5915 (film

liner) and 5915P (paper liner). See page 2 for specific details.

3M™ VHB™ Tape Products

4941 Family

This family utilizes multi-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of

a conformable adhesive foam core. 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 adhesive foam core provides

good contact, even with mismatched substrates. The combination of

foam strength, conformability, and adhesion makes this family one of

the most capable all-around 3M™ VHB™ tapes.

3M™ VHB™ Tapes Design and Tape Selection Considerations Choose the right tape for the substrate: Adhesives must flow onto the substrate surfaces in order to achieve intimate contact area and allow the molecular force of attraction to develop. The degree of flow of the adhesive on the substrate is largely determined by the surface energy of the substrate.
PAGE 8
3M™ VHB™ Tapes Application Techniques Clean: Most substrates are best prepared by cleaning with a 50:50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol (IPA*) and water prior to applying 3M™ VHB™ Tapes. Exceptions to the general procedure that may require additional surface preparation include: • Heavy Oils: A degreaser or solvent-based cleaner may be required to remove heavy oil or grease from a surface and should be followed by cleaning with IPA/water.
