3M 7000047493 Vinyl Foam Tape 4516 Black 1in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000047493 is a black vinyl foam tape designed for bonding and sealing applications across a wide range of surfaces. Known as Vinyl Foam Tape 4516, this single-coated, closed-cell foam tape is conformable and compressible, allowing it to fill gaps and create reliable seals even on irregular or uneven substrates. At 0.0625 inches thick and cut to a 1-inch width on a 36-yard roll, it delivers consistent coverage for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general trade applications. Licensed contractors and maintenance technicians reach for this tape when they need a durable, flexible seal without the bulk of thicker foam products.

This tape is suited for both residential and light commercial environments. Common install scenarios include sealing ductwork seams, insulating pipe penetrations, cushioning components against vibration, and providing a conformable barrier between dissimilar materials. Its closed-cell vinyl foam construction resists moisture absorption, making it appropriate for applications where occasional exposure to humidity or condensation is expected. The 36-yard roll length minimizes mid-job splicing on longer runs.

Key Features

• Single-coated closed-cell vinyl foam construction resists moisture absorption
• Conformable and compressible design seals irregular and uneven surfaces effectively
• 0.0625-inch thickness provides a low-profile yet reliable seal
• 1-inch width on a 36-yard roll for extended coverage with fewer roll changes
• Black finish suits visible or semi-exposed installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before application — clean the substrate free of dust, oil, and loose material to achieve maximum adhesion. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape width to ensure full contact between the adhesive and the substrate. This tape is intended for professional installation in appropriate trade applications; consult local codes when using tape products as part of a listed or code-required sealing assembly.
