3M 7000028661 Vinyl Foam Tape 62.5 Mil Acrylic 36 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028661 is a vinyl foam tape designed for sealing, cushioning, and bonding applications across HVAC, mechanical, and general trade work. The tape features a 62.5 mil overall thickness and an acrylic adhesive system that bonds to a range of substrates including metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. Each roll is 36 yards long, providing substantial run length for larger jobs. The vinyl foam carrier conforms to irregular surfaces and compresses to fill gaps, making it well suited for weathersealing, vibration dampening, and light-duty gasketing tasks. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This tape is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC installations for sealing cabinet seams, duct access panels, and equipment enclosures where a compressible, adhesive-backed foam strip is required. It also sees use in plumbing and mechanical rooms for pipe insulation butt joints and equipment vibration isolation pads. The 36-yard roll length reduces mid-job roll changes on longer runs. The acrylic adhesive provides good temperature resistance and long-term holding strength once applied to a clean, dry surface.

Key Features

• 62.5 mil total thickness provides substantial gap-filling and cushioning performance
• Acrylic adhesive offers long-term bonding and moderate temperature resistance
• 36-yard roll length reduces material changeovers on larger jobs
• Vinyl foam carrier conforms to irregular and curved surfaces
• Suitable for sealing, weatherstripping, vibration dampening, and gasketing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl foam tape suitable for HVAC cabinet sealing, duct access panels, mechanical enclosures, and similar trade applications where a compressible acrylic-adhesive foam tape is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for acrylic adhesive tapes — clean and dry the substrate thoroughly before application, removing dust, oil, and loose coatings. Apply firm hand pressure along the full length of the tape to ensure full adhesive contact. Avoid stretching the foam during application, as this reduces finished thickness and long-term seal integrity. Consult the applicable mechanical or building code for approved sealing methods when using tape in rated assemblies.
