When it comes to strong, reliable adhesive solutions, 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5962 is a standout choice, offering a durable bond for a wide range of applications. This black, double-coated acrylic foam tape is 0.062 inches (1.6 mm) thick and features a modified acrylic adhesive on both sides, paired with a PE film liner for added stability.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5962 is engineered to bond securely to various surfaces, from metals and glass to many types of plastics and powder-coated paints. Its unique flexibility means it can conform easily to slightly mismatched surfaces, making it highly versatile across different use cases. Designed to be an alternative to mechanical fasteners, this tape is perfect for those looking to eliminate the need for drilling, grinding, and clean-up, while still achieving a high-strength bond that resists water and moisture.
Key Benefits:
- Fast and Durable: Permanent bonding delivers both strength and longevity.
- Smooth and Seamless: Virtually invisible for a clean, professional finish.
- Replaces Mechanical Fasteners: No need for screws, rivets, or welding, making application faster and less labor-intensive.
- Excellent Gap Filling: The foam core helps bridge gaps for a solid seal, even on irregular surfaces.
- High Temperature Resistance: With short-term resistance up to 300°F (149°C) and long-term resistance up to 200°F (93°C), this tape is suitable for demanding environments.
Performance and Application:
For optimal results, applying 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5962 to clean, dry surfaces at room temperature is recommended. After application, the bond strength will continue to increase as the adhesive sets, reaching full strength within 72 hours. Its high tolerance for thermal expansion makes it ideal for bonding different materials in applications where flexibility is a plus.
3M™ VHB™ Tape 5962 is not only a bonding solution; it’s an innovation in simplifying and strengthening the way we approach assembly and fastening. For more details, including technical data, visit 3m.com or explore 3M’s comprehensive bonding solutions designed to meet diverse industry needs.
