3M™ Vinyl Foam Tapes Series 4500 are a flexible, black, high-density, closed-cell foam with pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive on one side. A 0.003 inch (0.08 mm) thick white, silicone treated paper liner is applied to the non-adhesive side of the foam so that the PVC can be cut to length and applied while leaving the liner in place
