3M 7000048478 Foam Tape 4016 Off-white 0.5in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048478 is a double coated open-cell urethane foam tape designed for bonding two surfaces together while providing cushioning and handling convenience. At 1/16 inch thick, the foam core compresses to conform to irregular surfaces, helping create a reliable bond in applications where surface contact is critical. The tape ships in a roll format measuring 0.5 inches wide by 36 yards long and weighs 0.62 pounds. A paper liner protects the second adhesive face until installation. This tape is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, HVAC professionals, and assembly workers where gasketing, mounting, or surface attachment is required.

This tape is suited for light-duty bonding and cushioning tasks in residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include attaching nameplates, trim, or lightweight panels, sealing gaps between components, and providing a cushioned bond layer between dissimilar materials. The off-white foam color is useful in applications where the tape may be visible at panel edges or trim lines. The open-cell urethane foam construction allows slight compression under load, which can help compensate for minor surface irregularities during assembly.

Key Features

• Double coated construction bonds two surfaces in a single application step
• Open-cell urethane foam core at 1/16 inch thickness provides cushioning and surface conformance
• Paper liner protects the second adhesive face for controlled, clean application
• Roll format: 0.5 inches wide by 36 yards long for extended coverage per roll
• Off-white foam color suits visible-edge trim and panel mounting applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bonding solution for general industrial and HVAC assembly applications where a double coated foam tape of 1/16 inch thickness is specified.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying foam tape — clean all bonding surfaces free of oil, dust, and moisture for maximum adhesion. Peel the paper liner just before bonding to avoid contamination of the adhesive face. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape surface after positioning to promote full contact adhesion. No specialized tools or trade licensing are required, though follow applicable building or equipment assembly guidelines for the specific installation context.
