General Information of 3M VHB Tape 5952
3M VHB Tape 5952 provides the convenience and simplicity of a tape fastener and are ideal for use in many interior and exterior bonding applications. In many situations, it can replace rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives, and other permanent fasteners. 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 is made with acrylic foam which is viscoelastic in nature. This gives the foam energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties which provides these tapes with their unique characteristics. The acrylic chemistry provides outstanding durability performance. This tape utilizes a variety of specific foam, adhesive, color, and release liner types to provide each product/family with specific features.
Key Features of 3M VHB Tape 5952
- Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability
- Virtually invisible fastening keeps surfaces smooth
- Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welding, screws) or liquid adhesives
- Modified acrylic adhesive and very conformable acrylic foam core bonds to a wide variety of substrates including powder coated paints and irregular surfaces
- Eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding and clean-up
- Creates a permanent seal against water, moisture, and more by offering better gap filling capabilities
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength
- Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight, and dissimilar material
Key Applications
- Decorative material and trim
- Nameplates and logos
- Electronic displays
- Panel to frame
- Stiffener to panel
