3M™ VHB™ Tape 4905 is a clear, double-sided tape made of a general-purpose acrylic adhesive and a firm, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 20 mil (0.5 mm) when applied and requires no time for curing. Designed to bond a variety of high surface energy (HSE) substrates, such as aluminum, stainless steel, and glass, this easy-to-use method can help increase productivity by eliminating steps, such as drilling, welding, and other finishing work. Because of its high-strength performance, the tape bonds thin, dissimilar, and lightweight materials while offering a smooth and seamless alternative to using rivets, welds, fasteners, and screws. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly. It performs in applications for short-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C). This tape offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, and adhesion, making it a powerful bonding solution across numerous industries, including window and door assembly, signage, electronics, construction, and general industrial. Explore the versatility and durability of 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4905 for your next operation.
Recommended Applications
An Unconventional Foam Tape
We invented 3M™ VHB™ Tapes in 1980 as the first of their kind. These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. The result is a family of extraordinarily strong tapes that adhere to a broad range of substrates. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, architectural windows and more all rely on this specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening and sealing process. This trusted and reliable tape offers a consistent bond, outstanding durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance. 3M stands by all of its products and is there to provide you with design guidance and technical support when you need it.
Proven Reliability from 3M™ VHB™ Tapes
3M™ VHB™ Tape offers a durable bond in a way that mechanical fasteners can't. Our tape enhances the appearance of finished goods by eliminating rivets and screws while providing immediate handling strength. In most cases, fastening with 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a quicker process than drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesive. Our versatile line of tapes can be used indoors or outdoors in a variety of applications, including window, door and sign assembly, electronics, construction and countless other industrial applications. Chemically resistant as well as 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.
