3M 7000049281 Vhb Foam Tape 16 Mil 0.5 in X 72 Yd Black

Product Description

The 3M 7000049281 is a double-sided, pressure-sensitive, closed-cell acrylic foam tape designed for bonding applications that demand conformability and long-term adhesion. At 16 mil thick, this tape bonds to high, medium, and medium/low surface energy substrates without the need for mechanical fasteners. The PE film liner provides clean handling during application. It also delivers cushioning, vibration damping, and impact resistance in bonded assemblies. Installers and fabricators in HVAC, electrical, construction, and manufacturing trades use this tape where structural adhesion and environmental resistance are required. The black facing allows for a discreet finish on visible surfaces.

This tape is suited for interior and exterior bonding tasks across residential and commercial applications. Common uses include attaching nameplates, signs, trim panels, and gaskets to metal, glass, painted surfaces, and select plastics. The roll format — 0.5 inches wide by 72 yards long — makes it practical for high-volume or repetitive bonding tasks on the job site or in a shop environment.

Key Features

• 16 mil closed-cell acrylic foam core provides conformability to irregular surfaces
• Double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds to high, medium, and medium/low surface energy substrates
• PE film liner ensures clean, controlled application
• Provides cushioning, vibration damping, and impact resistance in bonded assemblies
• UL listed under UL 746C for flammability and material performance
• Black color suitable for visible or cosmetic bonding applications

Compatibility

Designed for bonding to a wide range of surface energy substrates including metals, glass, painted surfaces, and select plastics where pressure-sensitive acrylic foam tape adhesion is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical — clean bonding surfaces thoroughly to remove oils, dust, and contaminants before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape length to achieve full contact and optimal bond strength. Minimum application temperature and surface energy requirements should be confirmed for the specific substrate. No power disconnection is required for tape-only installs, but follow applicable trade or facility safety protocols when working near electrical enclosures or live equipment.
