3M 7000028896 Vinyl Foam Tape Black 1/4in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028896 is a single-coated, closed-cell vinyl foam tape designed for bonding and sealing applications across a wide range of surfaces. Sold in a black finish, this tape measures 1/4 inch wide by 36 yards long with a thickness of 1/8 inch. Its closed-cell vinyl foam construction provides excellent conformability, allowing it to compress and conform to irregular or uneven surfaces without losing its seal. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade contractors use this tape for gasketing, cushioning, vibration dampening, and weathersealing tasks where a compressible, adhesive-backed foam material is required.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flexible, conformable foam seal is needed. Typical uses include sealing gaps around HVAC ductwork, mounting trim and panels, cushioning components against vibration, and bonding to painted metal, plastic, and other common construction surfaces. The single-coated format means one face carries the adhesive while the other remains exposed foam, making it practical for mounting and sealing in tight or irregular spaces.

Key Features

• Closed-cell vinyl foam construction resists moisture and compression set
• Single-coated adhesive bonds to metal, plastic, painted surfaces, and more
• High conformability allows tape to follow irregular or contoured surfaces
• Black finish blends with standard HVAC and mechanical system components
• 1/8 inch thickness provides consistent gasketing and cushioning performance
• 36-yard roll length reduces roll changes on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose single-coated foam tape suitable for bonding, sealing, and gasketing applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade work.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean, dry, and degrease all bonding surfaces for maximum adhesion. This tape is applied by hand and requires no special tools, though a roller or squeegee can be used to ensure full contact across the tape width. Ensure surfaces are at or above the minimum application temperature recommended for pressure-sensitive adhesives before installation. Cut tape with a utility knife or scissors to length; avoid stretching the tape during application as this can reduce long-term bond strength.
