Product Data Sheet
3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 is a premium double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered for permanent bonding applications that require exceptional strength, flexibility, and conformability. With a thickness of 0.045 inches (1.1 mm), this tape features a modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a highly conformable foam core, allowing it to bond effectively to a wide variety of substrates—including metals, glass, and both high and low surface energy plastics such as powder-coated materials.
Designed for versatility, 3M™ VHB™ 5952 excels in applications where surfaces may be irregular, uneven, or mismatched. Its soft, conformable foam structure ensures maximum surface contact, improving adhesion performance and enabling reliable bonding even on challenging substrates.
This advanced bonding solution provides a fast, clean alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, and welds. It eliminates the need for drilling, grinding, or finishing, while delivering a smooth, professional appearance. The pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds on contact, offering immediate handling strength and building to full bond strength over time for long-term performance.
In addition to its strong bonding capabilities, 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 creates a durable seal against water, moisture, and environmental exposure. Its viscoelastic acrylic foam core absorbs vibration, reduces stress, and accommodates thermal expansion between dissimilar materials, helping maintain bond integrity in dynamic conditions.
Engineered for demanding indoor and outdoor use, this tape offers excellent resistance to UV exposure, temperature extremes, and harsh environments, with long-term performance up to 200°F (93°C).
Common applications include panel bonding, trim attachment, signage, electronic display assembly, and bonding components in transportation, construction, and general manufacturing. For applications requiring a highly adaptable, high-strength bonding solution, 3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 delivers proven performance and design flexibility.
