3M VHB Tape 4947F is a high-strength acrylic bonding solution made with a conformable foam core that adheres quickly and permanently to a variety of thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing valuable time saving by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. The fast and easy-to-use bonding method offers seamless joining that keeps surfaces smooth and aesthetically pleasing resulting in a professional application. The advanced technology of the pressure-sensitive adhesive protects against water and seals tightly for long-term durability, performing in short-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C).

Having excellent plasticizer resistance, 3M VHB Tape 4947F offers versatility to be used across many industries, including general industrial, transportation, appliance repair and assembly, construction, and signage.

3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 9672LE is a versatile, market proven, 5 mil (0.13 mm) transfer tape on a printed release paper liner. Featuring 3M 300LSE acrylic adhesive, this tape has a long and proven history of reliably bonding a wide variety of similar and dissimilar materials such as metals, most plastics, glass, papers and painted surfaces.

3M Vinyl Tape 471+ is a conformable vinyl tape with a versatile rubber adhesive and a moderately translucent backing that allows for accurate masking alignment with simple or complex patterns. This vinyl tape provides clean removal without adhesive residue, even after a 30-minute bake cycle at 250°F (121°C). 3M Vinyl Tape 471+ brings performance and productivity for fine line masking in many critical painting applications. Sharp, clean paint lines for color separation are possible because it resists lifting and its versatile rubber adhesive bonds to a wide variety of surfaces, including resins, then lifts off cleanly from flat or compound surfaces. The tape conforms well to curves and is designed to stretch and hold, even with a radius as tight as 1.5-inches.

It follows irregular designs to deliver sharp lines. Its moderate translucence allows for alignment where complex patterns are outlined. Flexible vinyl backing is also abrasion-resistant and will protect adjacent surfaces in most sanding operations. When finished, its one-piece removal preserves the sharp paint lines it helped create.
