Bsc Preferred VHB495512R Vhb Mounting Tape Double-sided

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VHB495512R is a double-sided acrylic foam mounting tape engineered for high-strength bonding in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Built on a firm white acrylic foam core with acrylic adhesive on both sides and a polyester liner, it delivers the holding power of mechanical fasteners without the need for rivets, bolts, screws, spot-welds, or liquid adhesives. The tape is moisture, solvent, and UV resistant, with a service temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. It carries a UL746C listing. Licensed tradespeople and skilled installers use this product where permanent, clean bonding is required.

This tape is suited for a wide range of industrial and construction applications. Common uses include attaching stiffeners, bonding aluminum skin to the steel support structures of trucks, vans, and ambulances, and securing architectural signs to frames. It performs well in both interior and exterior environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or UV is a concern. The double-sided general-purpose adhesive makes it a practical alternative to mechanical fasteners in fabrication and assembly work across transportation, signage, and building trades.

Key Features

• Replaces rivets, bolts, screws, spot-welds, and liquid adhesives in many applications
• General-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of firm foam core
• Moisture, solvent, and UV resistant for interior and exterior use

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose mounting and bonding applications involving metals, plastics, and composites in transportation fabrication, architectural signage, and structural assembly work.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for maximum bond strength - clean, dry, and degrease all bonding surfaces before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the full tape surface to ensure full adhesive contact. Once bonded, this tape creates a permanent installation; plan placement carefully before pressing into final position. Installation is typically performed by fabricators, assemblers, or maintenance tradespeople without special tools or licensing requirements.
