3M 7000047495 Vinyl Foam Tape 4508 Black 3/8 in X 36 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000047495 is a black vinyl foam tape designed for bonding and sealing applications across a wide range of surfaces. This is the 4508 series tape, a single-coated, closed-cell foam construction with a conformable vinyl carrier that allows it to follow irregular contours and uneven substrates. At 1/8 inch thick and 3/8 inches wide, each roll covers 36 yards. The closed-cell foam structure resists moisture and provides a reliable seal, making it suitable for gap filling, vibration dampening, and surface protection tasks common in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work.

This tape is used in residential and light commercial applications where a flexible, conformable seal or bond is needed. Common uses include sealing irregular gaps around panels, insulating surfaces from vibration, and bonding trim or protective materials to metal, plastic, glass, or painted surfaces. It is well-suited for HVAC cabinet sealing, electrical enclosure gasketing, and similar installation scenarios where a low-profile foam tape is required.

Key Features

• Single-coated closed-cell vinyl foam construction resists moisture and compression set
• Conformable design follows contours and uneven surfaces without lifting or bridging
• 1/8 inch foam thickness provides cushioning and gap-filling capability
• 3/8 inch width suited for narrow sealing and bonding applications
• Black color for discreet installs or applications requiring UV resistance typical of vinyl-faced tapes
• 36-yard roll length reduces splice frequency on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed for bonding and sealing to a variety of surfaces including metal, glass, plastic, and painted substrates in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

This tape is applied by hand and requires no special tools beyond a tape dispenser or utility knife for cutting. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of oils or loose particles before application to ensure full adhesive contact. For HVAC or enclosure sealing work, power down the equipment before applying tape near electrical components. Avoid stretching the tape during application, as this can reduce long-term adhesion and conformability.
