3M VHB Tape 4910

Description

Product Description

3M™ VHB™ Tape 4910 is a 0.040 inch (1.0 mm) thick, clear, double-coated acrylic foam tape with a polyethylene (PE) film liner. It features a general-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides that adheres effectively to high surface energy materials, such as metals, glass, and plastics. The tape’s transparent design makes it ideal for applications where a colorless bond is desired, such as bonding transparent or translucent materials. The 4910 belongs to the 3M VHB 4910 family, which is known for firm acrylic foam construction and excellent durability, while offering the clarity and aesthetics needed for visible surfaces.

Key Features

• Crystal Clear Appearance: Maintains transparency, making it perfect for bonding clear substrates like glass and acrylic.
• High Bond Strength: Provides permanent, long-lasting adhesion to high surface energy materials such as metal, glass, and painted surfaces.
• Aesthetic Advantage: Enables virtually invisible fastening, preserving smooth, clean designs without mechanical hardware.
• Replaces Traditional Fasteners: Can eliminate the need for screws, rivets, welds, and liquid adhesives, simplifying assembly and reducing labor.
• Strong and Durable: Withstands mechanical stress, moisture, and vibration while maintaining adhesion over time.
• Temperature Resistance: Performs under short-term exposure up to 149°C (300°F) and long-term exposure up to 93°C (200°F).
• Excellent Seal: Creates a moisture- and water-resistant barrier, ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Ease of Use: Bonds immediately on contact, providing instant handling strength without curing.
• Design Flexibility: Allows the use of dissimilar and lightweight materials for improved design freedom.

Typical Applications

3M™ VHB™ Tape 4910 is particularly suited for applications requiring clear bonding, offering both aesthetic and functional performance.

Common uses include:

• Glass and Acrylic Bonding: Ideal for joining glass panels, decorative glass components, or acrylic sheets where transparency is important.
• Electronics and Appliances: Mounting clear lenses, display windows, or transparent covers without visible fasteners.
• Architectural and Interior Design: Bonding transparent panels, nameplates, or signage components where colorless joints are desirable.
• Signage and Display Assembly: Attaching clear letters, symbols, or LED covers to maintain sleek, professional finishes.
• Metal and Plastic Fabrication: Provides clean, strong, and corrosion-free attachment for various rigid materials.
• Lighting Applications: Used in bonding diffusers, lenses, and housings for LED or architectural lighting systems.
