Bsc Preferred VHB495534R Vhb Double-sided Foam Tape

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED VHB495534R is a double-sided very high bond foam tape engineered to replace mechanical fasteners in demanding structural and assembly applications. Built on a firm white acrylic foam core with acrylic adhesive on both sides and a polyester liner, this tape delivers strong, permanent bonds to metals, plastics, and composites. It resists moisture, solvents, and UV exposure, and maintains adhesion across a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. UL746C listed. It is used by contractors, fabricators, and fleet service technicians who need a clean, fastener-free bonding solution without drilling, welding, or liquid adhesives.

This tape is suited for general industrial and commercial bonding work. Common applications include attaching stiffeners to panels, bonding aluminum skin to steel structural supports on trucks, vans, and ambulances, and securing architectural signs to frames. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field installation where a permanent, weather-resistant bond is required without visible hardware.

Key Features

• Replaces rivets, bolts, screws, spot-welds, and liquid adhesives in many fastening applications
• Acrylic adhesive on both sides of firm white acrylic foam core for strong, uniform bonding
• Polyester liner for clean handling and precise application
• Resistant to moisture, solvents, and UV degradation
• Operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• UL746C listed

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose structural bonding to metal, plastic, and composite substrates in industrial, fleet, and architectural applications.

Installation Notes

Surface preparation is critical for maximum bond strength - clean and degrease all substrates thoroughly before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the full bond area after positioning; bond strength increases over the first 24 to 72 hours at room temperature. This product creates a permanent bond and is not intended for temporary or repositionable use. Follow applicable building and safety codes when using adhesive tape in lieu of mechanical fasteners in structural assemblies.
