3M 7000028661 Vinyl Foam Tape 4516 Black 1/4in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028661 is a black vinyl foam tape designed for bonding and sealing applications across a wide range of surfaces. Sold as Tape 4516, this single-coated, closed-cell foam tape is 0.25 inches wide, 36 yards long, and 0.0625 inches thick. The conformable vinyl foam construction allows the tape to follow irregular contours and compress against uneven substrates, forming a consistent seal. It is well suited for HVAC, construction, and general industrial trades where a flexible, resilient foam tape is needed for gap-filling, insulating, or surface protection tasks.

Tape 4516 is used in residential and light commercial applications where a compressible, conformable seal is required. Common scenarios include sealing around HVAC panels and ductwork access covers, weather-stripping on doors and windows, vibration damping on equipment enclosures, and surface protection during fabrication or assembly. The closed-cell foam resists moisture absorption, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installation environments. Trades including HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and general contractors regularly use this tape format.

Key Features

• Closed-cell vinyl foam construction resists moisture absorption and compression set
• Single-coated design provides one adhesive face for direct bonding to substrate surfaces
• Conformable and flexible — follows irregular or curved surface profiles
• 0.0625-inch thickness suitable for filling small gaps and providing a compressible seal
• 36-yard roll length reduces changeovers in high-volume or repetitive applications
• Black finish blends with dark substrates common in HVAC and panel applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style adhesive foam tape suitable for bonding and sealing to a variety of surfaces in HVAC, construction, and general industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for adhesive tape performance — clean, dry, and degrease all bonding surfaces before application. Apply firm, even pressure along the full length of the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. Allow adequate dwell time at room temperature before subjecting the bond to stress or moisture exposure. Follow applicable building or mechanical codes when using tape as part of an air-sealing or weather-stripping assembly.
