Bsc Preferred VHB495501R Vhb Tape Double-sided Acrylic Foam

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VHB495501R is a double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered for high-strength structural bonding in industrial and commercial applications. It carries general-purpose acrylic adhesive on both faces of a firm white acrylic foam core backed by a polyester liner. The tape is rated for a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F and carries UL746C certification. In many applications it replaces mechanical fasteners such as rivets, bolts, screws, spot-welds, and liquid adhesives, delivering a clean, permanent bond without drilling or curing time. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance crews use it where a strong, low-profile fastening solution is required.

VHB495501R is suited for bonding aluminum skin to steel supports on trucks, vans, and ambulances, attaching structural stiffeners, and securing architectural signs to frames. Its moisture, solvent, and UV resistance make it appropriate for both interior and exterior installations where environmental exposure is a factor. The tape ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical - clean all bonding surfaces thoroughly to remove oils, dust, and contaminants before applying the tape. Apply firm, even pressure across the full bonded area to ensure full adhesive contact. Allow adequate dwell time before placing the assembly under load, following the adhesive manufacturer guidelines for the substrate type. This product is typically handled by fabricators, body shop technicians, or maintenance tradespeople working with metal panel assemblies.
