3M 7000049255 Vhb Foam Tape 16 Mil 1 Inch X 72 Yd Black

Product Description

The 3M 7000049255 is a double-sided, pressure-sensitive, closed-cell acrylic foam tape sold under the VHB Tape 5915 product line. At 16 mil thick, it conforms to irregular surfaces and bonds high, medium, and medium/low surface energy substrates without mechanical fasteners. The tape ships on a PE film liner that simplifies handling during application. Each roll measures 1 inch wide by 72 yards long and features a black finish. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors use this tape for bonding, cushioning, vibration damping, and impact-resistant mounting applications in both interior and exterior environments.

This tape is suited for assembly and mounting tasks where a conformable, permanent bond is required across a range of substrate types including plastics, metals, glass, and painted surfaces. The closed-cell acrylic foam core resists moisture and solvents, making it appropriate for use in mechanical rooms, equipment enclosures, and other trade environments where exposure to chemicals or humidity is a concern. It carries a UL 746C listing, which supports use in applications where component-level flame and electrical ratings are reviewed during inspections.

Key Features

• 16 mil total tape thickness for conformability over uneven or textured surfaces
• Double-sided, pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds without primers on most high and medium surface energy substrates
• Closed-cell acrylic foam core provides cushioning, vibration damping, and impact resistance
• PE film liner for clean, controlled application during installation
• Black color; 1 inch wide by 72 yard roll format
• UL 746C listed

Compatibility

Designed for bonding high, medium, and medium/low surface energy substrates including metals, plastics, glass, and painted surfaces in general industrial and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying pressure-sensitive foam tape — clean substrate surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, oil, and loose particles. Apply firm, even pressure across the full bond area to ensure full adhesive contact. Allow adequate dwell time before applying load to the bond. Follow applicable building and equipment codes when using tape as a fastening method in structural or electrical enclosure applications.
