3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952

Open a world of new possibilities
The 5952 family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes utilizes modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable and adhesive foam core. The combination of strength, comfortability , and adhesion makes the 5952 family one of the most capable and well-rounded 3M™ VHB™ Tapes.

Proven Reliability
3M™ VHB™ Tape offers a durable bond in a way that mechanical fasteners can't due to its viscoelastic damping and energy absorption properties.
The tape enhances the appearance of finished goods and in most cases, fastening with 3M™ VHB™ Tape is faster than drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesives.

Excels at bonding a variety of paint systems, medium surface energy plastics and irregular surfaces without the need for an adhesion promoter.
UV and temperature stable, 3M™ VHB™ Tape can withstand the heat of Dubai to the cold of Canada. The unique acrylic chemistry is extremely durable and resistant to change over time, making this a long-lasting and powerful tape you can trust.

3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 — Example Applications

3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 is a proven high-strength alternative to screws, rivets, welds, and other forms of traditional fastening methods. While a screw or a rivet can join two substrates at a single point, 3M™ VHB™ Tape permanently adheres one substrate to another and spreads the stress load across the entire length of the joint.

The most common applications for 3M™ VHB™ Tape are:

• Electronic Displays

• Internet of Things (IOT)

• Decorative Material and Trim

• Nameplates and Logos

• Sign assembly

• Panel to Frame

• Stiffener to Panel

Details

Highlights

• 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

• Black or white, 0.045 in (1.1 mm), 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 materials

3M™ VHB Tape consists of a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties. This provides an extraordinarily strong double-sided foam tape that adheres to a broad range of substrates, including painted metals, aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, and plastics, including acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS. This tape provides excellent shear strength, conformability, surface adhesion and temperature resistance. It is commonly used in applications across a variety of markets including transportation, appliance, electronics, construction, sign and display and general industrial. The 5952 family of 3M™ VHB Tape utilizes modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a very conformable, adhesive foam core. It is specifically designed for good adhesion to high, medium and lower surface energy plastics and paints, metals and glass. Common applications for this tape include bonding and sealing panels to frame, display bonding, signage and decorative material bonding.
