3M 7100016952 Vhb Foam Tape 15 Mil 0.5in X 72yd White

Product Description

The 3M 7100016952 is a firm, double-sided, pressure-sensitive, closed-cell acrylic foam tape designed for permanent bonding applications across a wide range of industries. At 15 mil thick, it provides a balance of conformability and strength. It features a paper liner for handling convenience and is manufactured in white. The tape bonds effectively to high surface energy substrates, making it suitable for metal, glass, and painted surfaces commonly found in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, and structural assembly work. It carries a UL 746C listing, confirming suitability for use with polymeric materials.

This tape is sold in rolls measuring 0.5 inches wide by 72 yards long, making it practical for production-line or field applications where a continuous, consistent bond line is required. It is well-suited for mounting, gasketing, cushioning, vibration damping, and impact-resistant bonding in both residential and commercial settings. Trades that frequently work with panel assemblies, HVAC cabinet fabrication, and electrical enclosure construction will find this format practical for repeated use.

Key Features

• 15 mil closed-cell acrylic foam construction provides cushioning and vibration damping
• Double-sided, pressure-sensitive design eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners
• Paper liner for clean, controlled application
• Bonds high surface energy substrates including metal, glass, and coated surfaces
• UL 746C listed for use with polymeric materials
• White color, 0.5 inches wide by 72 yards per roll

Compatibility

Designed for bonding high surface energy substrates in industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly applications where a permanent, load-bearing adhesive tape is required.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical before applying VHB tape — clean bonding surfaces thoroughly to remove oils, dust, and contaminants using an appropriate surface cleaner. Apply firm, even pressure across the full bond area immediately after positioning to ensure full contact adhesion. Allow adequate dwell time before placing the assembly under load, as acrylic foam adhesives continue to build bond strength over 24 to 72 hours. This product is intended for installation by qualified personnel familiar with structural adhesive tape applications.
