3M VHB Tape 4949 is a black, double-sided tape made of a general-purpose acrylic adhesive and a firm, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 45 mil (1.1 mm) when applied and requires no time for curing. Designed to bond a variety of high surface energy (HSE) substrates, this easy-to-use method can help increase productivity by eliminating steps, such as drilling, welding, and other finishing work. Because of its high-strength performance, the tape bonds thin, dissimilar, and lightweight materials while offering a smooth and seamless alternative to using rivets, welds, fasteners, and screws. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly.

It performs in applications for short-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C). This tape offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, and adhesion, making it a powerful bonding solution across numerous industries, including window and door assembly, signage, electronics, construction, and general industrial. Explore the versatility and durability of 3M VHB Tape 4949 for your next operation.

3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3561 is the convenient alternative to traditional fastening methods, such as screws, nuts or bolts. It is designed to deliver a durable, reclosable fastening solution (which can be opened and closed multiple times) which bonds to a variety of substrates including metals, glass and plastics such as acrylics, polycarbonate and ABS.

Scotch Box Sealing Tape 355, one of the very best performers in the Scotch polyester line of tapes, securely closes double and triple walled corrugated cartons, including those with high recycled content, saving time and reducing closure failures. The polyester backing resists moisture, abrasion and scuffing to hold strong throughout the shipping process.

Used to protect surfaces from abrasion, 3M UHMW-PE Film Tape 5425 is a thin caliper general purpose polyethylene tape that creates a “slip plane” effect to allow contact without wear. This tape features outstanding chemical resistance and a unique combination of properties that make it ideal for many tough impact wear or sliding applications.

Constructed with a woven fiberglass backing, 3M Glass Cloth Tape 361 features a pressure sensitive silicone adhesive for applications requiring high-temperature resistance, high adhesion and clean removal. It is often used for high temperature applications such as sealing ducts and as a back-up strip for submerged arc welding.

3M Vinyl Tape 471 is a versatile tape that provides long-lasting floor marking, sharp paint lines, surface protection, and reliable seals in complex situations across a variety of industries. Engineered with unique stretch properties, this tape conforms to rough, irregular, curved, and convex surfaces without lifting. It uses a rubber adhesive that bonds immediately and removes cleanly on a wide variety of substrates. Made for high performance, the vibrant backing resists abrasion, moisture, and solvents. Conformability, instant adhesion, and clean removal all make 3M Vinyl Tape 471 an exceptional choice for general-purpose surface protection, floor marking, hazard identification, paint masking, and decorating.

3M Filament Reinforced Electrical Tape 1139 is a 6.5 mil thick, acrylic adhesive, solvent resistant, electrical tape. This tape is suitable for oil and air filled transfer applications and reinforcements, as well as for holding and separating ground insulation. The tape is 600V rated and withstands a temperature range of 32 to 311 °F (0 to 155 °C).

Scotch Box Sealing Tape 371 is an industrial grade packing tape that securely closes a wide variety of medium weight box materials. The polypropylene film backing is easy to unwind and resists abrasion, moisture and scuffing. The backing easily conforms around edges and on rough surfaces for a tight seal.

3M Double Coated Urethane Foam Tape 4032 is an off-white, 0.031 in. (0.8 mm) thick, double coated, open cell urethane foam tape that offers high shear strength. It is ideal for applications such as mounting interior signage and nameplates along with soap dispensers and air fresheners.

For heat shielding applications such as wrapping over and along thermal insulation, use 3M High Temperature Aluminum Foil Tape 433L. This dead soft aluminum foil tape is coated with a clear silicone pressure sensitive adhesive that bonds well to a variety of surfaces and excels in high temperature applications, where other adhesive tapes may fail.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 463 features an acrylic adhesive that bonds well to most paper stocks and other high surface energy substrates. It is ideal for high-speed flying splices and zero speed splices on most grades of paper, though it also bonds a variety of other similar and dissimilar materials.

3M Performance Masking Tape 2380 was designed for industrial use where the best possible paint line is desired and drying conditions range from air dry to oven bake. Its smooth, strong, mini-crepe paper masking tape holds fast, removes easily and will give you great performance for most paint masking applications.
