3M™ VHB™ Tape 5952 is a 0.045 inch (1.1 mm) thick black double-sided acrylic foam tape with PE film liner.
The modified acrylic adhesive on both sides bonds to a broad range of high, medium and medium/low surface energy substrates including metals, glass and a wide variety of plastics and paints, including many powder coated paints.
The very conformable foam provides good contact between substrates even when they are slightly mismatched. 3M™ VHB™
Tape 5952 is part of the 5952 tape family.
Each product in this family has a modified acrylic adhesive and very conformable foam but varies in thickness, color and liner type.
