3M 4229P VHB Acrylic Foam Tape for Durable Industrial Bonding
The 3M 4229P VHB double-sided joining tape utilizes a firm acrylic foam core and thick acrylic adhesive to provide powerful bonding strength for exterior applications. This structural bonding tape adheres well to metals, plastics, composites, glass and painted surfaces without mechanical fasteners. UV resistant and impervious to moisture, temperature extremes and chemicals, this VHB foam tape maintains consistent long-term adhesion indoors and outdoors. With bond strength up to 760 psi, it effectively seals out dust, moisture and air while absorbing vibration and shock.

Applications
The 3M 4229P VHB tape is ideally suited for permanent, high-strength bonding and mounting applications exposed to harsh outdoor environments, including adhering automotive trim, decals, and panels on vehicle exteriors; mounting exterior sign boards and decorative fixtures on buildings; assembling and sealing outdoor electronics components and enclosures; bonding solar panels, antenna panels on rooftops; it provides durable adhesion performance with ability to withstand temperature extremes, UV radiation, moisture, solvents for years, and replaces conventional mechanical fasteners, rivets, screws and liquid adhesives for a more simplified bonding process.
Applicable Industries:
- Bonding and mounting vehicle exterior attachments.
- Joining signs, panels and trims on outdoor surfaces.
- Mounting consumer electronics components and accessories.
- Adhering solar panels, antennas and other exterior fixtures.
- Sealing joints and gaps exposed to harsh environments.
- Replacing rivets, screws, liquid adhesives for bonding.
