Bsc Preferred VHB495001R Vhb Double-sided Foam Tape

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VHB495001R is a very high bond double-sided foam tape designed to replace mechanical fasteners such as rivets, bolts, screws, spot-welds, and liquid adhesives in demanding structural and general-purpose bonding applications. The tape is constructed with a white acrylic foam core and acrylic adhesive on both sides, backed by a kraft paper liner for easy handling. It carries a UL746C certification and performs across a wide temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators in industrial, commercial, and transportation sectors rely on this product for permanent, load-bearing bonds where traditional mechanical fasteners are impractical.

VHB495001R is suited for attaching stiffeners, bonding aluminum skin to steel supports on trucks, vans, and ambulances, and securing architectural signage to frames. Its resistance to moisture, solvents, and UV exposure makes it appropriate for both interior and exterior installations. The firm foam core conforms to moderate surface irregularities, distributing stress across the bond line. This tape is sold by the each and is applicable across general manufacturing, fleet vehicle fabrication, sign installation, and building materials contexts.

Key Features

• Replaces rivets, bolts, screws, spot-welds, and liquid adhesives in many structural bonding applications
• White acrylic foam core with acrylic adhesive on both sides for a firm, uniform bond
• Moisture, solvent, and UV resistant for long-term interior and exterior performance
• Operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• Kraft paper liner for clean, controlled application
• UL746C certified

Compatibility

Designed for structural and general-purpose bonding to metal substrates including aluminum and steel, as well as architectural sign frames and similar rigid surfaces. Suitable for truck, van, and ambulance body fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for maximum bond strength - clean all substrates thoroughly to remove oils, dust, and loose particles before applying the tape. Apply firm, even pressure across the entire bond area to ensure full contact between the adhesive and both surfaces. Allow adequate dwell time before loading the bond joint, as acrylic adhesive systems build strength progressively after initial application. This product should be applied and evaluated by a qualified fabricator or technician familiar with structural bonding requirements.
