3M 7000123475 Vhb Double-sided Clear Acrylic Tape 20 Mil

Product Description

The 3M 7000123475 is a clear, double-sided pressure-sensitive acrylic tape designed for strong, permanent bonding applications. At 20 mil thick, it bonds high surface energy substrates including metals, glass, and many plastics without mechanical fasteners or liquid adhesives. The tape features a PE film liner for handling convenience and provides cushioning, vibration damping, and impact resistance in the bonded joint. It carries a UL 746C listing, making it suitable for use in assemblies where listed materials are specified. The roll measures 0.5 inches wide by 72 yards long. Installers in electrical, HVAC panel fabrication, and general construction trades use this tape where clean, load-bearing adhesive bonding is required.

This tape is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where a structural or semi-structural bond is needed on rigid, high surface energy materials. Common use cases include bonding nameplates, trim, gaskets, and mounting components to metal or glass panels in commercial and residential equipment assemblies. It performs in applications where vibration or minor flexing occurs, since the acrylic core absorbs energy rather than transmitting it through the bond line. The clear construction keeps the tape invisible at the bond site.

Key Features

• 20 mil total thickness for gap-filling and cushioning in bonded joints
• Clear acrylic adhesive on both faces — no visible tape at the bondline
• PE film liner for clean handling and precise placement
• Bonds high surface energy substrates including metal, glass, and rigid plastics
• Provides cushioning, vibration damping, and impact resistance
• UL 746C listed for use in assemblies requiring listed adhesive materials

Compatibility

Designed for bonding high surface energy substrates in commercial and residential assembly applications. Specific equipment compatibility depends on surface preparation and substrate type — confirm surface energy requirements before use.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for full bond strength — clean and dry all bonding surfaces before application, removing oils, dust, and loose material. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape after placement to ensure full contact between the adhesive and both substrates. Allow dwell time before loading the joint, as acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives continue to build bond strength over 24 to 72 hours. No special tools are required, but a roller or squeegee improves consistent contact on flat surfaces.
