3M 7000048483 Double-sided Urethane Foam Tape 1 in 36 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048483 is a double-sided urethane foam tape from the 3M Series 4008 product line, designed for bonding, holding, joining, and mounting applications across a wide range of trades and industries. The tape features an acrylic adhesive on both sides of a urethane foam carrier, with a paper liner for clean, controlled application. Each roll measures 1 inch wide, 36 yards long, and 1/8 inch thick. It is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 220 degrees F, making it suitable for environments subject to moderate heat exposure. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople commonly specify this tape where a conformable, resilient bond is required on irregular or uneven surfaces.

This tape is used in residential and light commercial applications where a strong, flexible adhesive bond is needed between dissimilar or irregular substrates. Typical use cases include panel mounting, gasket attachment, vibration dampening, and general assembly work. The urethane foam core conforms to surface irregularities, helping to fill minor gaps and create a more consistent bond line. The off-white color and paper liner assist with alignment and clean removal during installation. Tradespeople in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing disciplines use this tape for securing components, sealing non-pressurized assemblies, and mounting lightweight fixtures or trim pieces.

Key Features

• Double-sided acrylic adhesive for bonding two surfaces in a single tape application
• Urethane foam carrier conforms to uneven or irregular surfaces
• 1/8 inch thickness (125 mil) provides cushioning and gap-filling performance
• Maximum operating temperature of 220 degrees F supports use near moderate heat sources
• 36-yard continuous roll minimizes splicing and waste on larger jobs
• Paper liner protects the second adhesive face until installation is ready

Compatibility

Designed for general bonding, holding, joining, and mounting applications across metal, plastic, and other common substrate types where a double-sided foam tape is specified.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for adhesive performance — clean substrate surfaces of dust, oil, and moisture before applying the tape. Remove the paper liner from the second adhesive face only after the tape is positioned on the first substrate. Apply firm, even pressure across the full bond area to achieve full adhesive contact. Follow all applicable codes and manufacturer guidance for the specific assembly or system where this tape is used.
