3M Scotch 5952 VHB Tape Die Cutting For Cellphone / Auto Panel Mounting
3M Scotch 5952 VHB Tape utilizes foam as a backing material, with a modified acrylic adhesive and a protective PE liner on the surface. It combines high adhesion, durability, and material adaptability into a versatile adhesive solution, serving as a reliable alternative to mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives. Its exceptional shear strength, flexibility, surface adhesion, and temperature resistance provide robust and lasting bonding for various permanent applications. It can replace traditional mechanical fasteners (such as rivets, welding, screws) and liquid adhesive, achieving more uniform stress distribution and creating durable connections.
Easily die cutting to different shapes and sizes for specialty, like watch / cellphone panel mounting, auto interior decor and plastic mounting etc. For Jumbo roll / Custom Slitting rolls, hope to check the other 3M 5952 tape to get more details.
