3M 7000048485 Double-sided Urethane Foam Tape 3/4 in 72 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000048485 is a double-sided urethane foam tape designed for attaching, bonding, holding, joining, and mounting applications across a wide range of trade and industrial environments. Built on the Series 4032 platform, this tape features an acrylic adhesive system on a urethane foam carrier that conforms to irregular surfaces and maintains bond integrity under load. At 1/32 inch thick and 3/4 inch wide, it delivers a low-profile bond line suited for tight clearances. The tape is rated for continuous use up to 220 degrees F, making it appropriate for installations near heat-generating equipment. It ships as a single continuous roll wound on a paper liner.

This tape is used in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trade applications where a clean, permanent double-sided bond is required without visible fasteners. Common scenarios include mounting nameplates, gasket retention, panel bonding, and securing insulation or trim components in residential and light commercial systems. The continuous roll format allows technicians to cut custom lengths on the job site without waste. Its off-white color is neutral enough for use in finished or semi-finished assemblies.

Key Features

• Double-sided acrylic adhesive on urethane foam carrier for conformable, load-bearing bonds
• Rated up to 220 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• 1/32 inch thickness suits tight clearances and low-profile assemblies
• 3/4 inch wide continuous roll — 72 yards per roll minimizes mid-job splicing
• Paper liner protects adhesive until application
• Suitable for attaching, bonding, holding, joining, and mounting tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose double-sided urethane foam tape for use in trade and industrial mounting and bonding applications where an acrylic adhesive system and foam carrier are specified.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean, dry, and dust-free substrates improve adhesive contact and long-term bond strength. Peel the paper liner immediately before application and press firmly across the full bond surface to ensure full contact. Avoid stretching the foam carrier during application, as this can reduce effective contact area. This product is a consumable supply; no special licensing is required, but installers should verify that the adhesive chemistry is compatible with substrate materials, particularly plastics and painted surfaces.
