Description
The 3M 7000047493 is a 1" x 36 yd, closed cell, high density vinyl foam tape with an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive made for gasketing and sealing. This 3m 4516 vinyl foam tape provides quick stick adhesion to metals, glass and many plastics while remaining flexible across temperature and UV exposure. The silicone treated white paper liner minimizes stretching during installation for accurate placement on curved or irregular surfaces. Use this foam tape where dust and moisture seals, cushioning, damping, or insulating are required common in HVAC, appliance and electronic assemblies. UL / industry grade aging and UV resistance make it suitable for indoor/outdoor sealing where long-term conformability is needed.
