Dream, Design, Deliver with the 4611 Family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes

3M™; VHB™ Tape 4611 is in the 4611 family of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes. These tapes utilize general purpose adhesive on both sides of firm foam. High temperature capability makes this family often suitable for bonding prior to high temperature paint processing. It is typically used on metal substrates such as aluminum, galvanized steel and stainless steel. Applications for this tape include stiffener and panel attachment, including assembly before paint ovens as well as decorative material and trim.

Features and Benefits:

• HIGH-TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE: Offers excellent indoor and outdoor performance, withstanding long-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) and short-term applications at 450 °F (232 °C)
• BASED ON SCIENCE: Delivers high shear strength, thermal resistance, and strong surface adhesion due to an acrylic foam core and general-purpose adhesive
• METAL BONDING: Adheres to a variety of high surface energy (HSE) substrates with minimal surface preparation
• SMOOTH AND SEAMLESS: With a thickness of 45 mil (1.1 mm), this tape is designed as an alternative to mechanical fasteners, such as rivets, welds, and screws, or liquid adhesives
• REDUCE STEPS: Can help increase operational efficiency by eliminating actions, such as drilling, welding, grinding, and finishing work
• A GO-TO SOLUTION: Excels across a variety of markets, including window and door assembly, electronics, signage, construction, general industrial, and more
• LONG-TERM DURABILITY: Offers a fast and easy-to-use all-acrylic bonding method that gives immediate handling strength — no need to wait for curing
• EXCELLENT BONDING AND SEALING: Featuring closed-cell acrylic chemistry, which creates a tight seal against water and moisture
• ACHIEVE MORE: Allows for the use of thinner, lighter-weight, and dissimilar materials when compared to rivets and welds

An Unconventional Foam Tape

3M 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. This 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. This 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.
