3M 7000028971 Vhb Foam Tape Black 0.5in X 36yd 45 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000028971 is a black, double-sided, closed-cell acrylic foam tape in the VHB 5952 series, designed for high-strength bonding without fasteners or welds. At 45 mil total thickness with a PE film liner, this pressure-sensitive tape conforms to irregular surfaces and delivers reliable adhesion across high, medium, and medium-low surface energy substrates. It provides handling convenience along with cushioning, vibration damping, and impact resistance. Installers in HVAC, electrical, glazing, and general fabrication work rely on this tape where a permanent, load-bearing bond is needed in a compact profile.

This tape is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where a conformable, long-term adhesive solution replaces mechanical fasteners. Common use cases include bonding metal panels, plastic trim, signage, and assembled components in commercial and light industrial settings. Each roll measures 0.5 inches wide by 36 yards long, making it practical for continuous runs or cut-to-length applications. The black foam core also provides a finished appearance in visible joint lines.

Key Features

• Double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds without fasteners or rivets
• Closed-cell acrylic foam core at 45 mil thickness for cushioning and damping
• Bonds high, medium, and medium-low surface energy substrates
• Conformable construction adapts to irregular or curved surfaces
• PE film liner for clean handling and precise application
• UL 746C listed for use with polymeric materials

Compatibility

Designed for bonding a broad range of substrates including metals, glass, and many plastics; suitable for applications requiring adhesion to high, medium, or medium-low surface energy surfaces.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for VHB tape performance — clean bonding surfaces thoroughly with an appropriate solvent and allow to dry completely before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape length after positioning to maximize initial adhesion. Allow adequate dwell time before applying load to the bond. This product is intended for installation by qualified tradespeople familiar with structural adhesive tape applications.
