3M™ VHB™ Tape Specialty Tapes

VHB Tape Specialty Tapes November 2015 Technical Data Product Description 3M VHB Tapes provide the convenience and simplicity of a tape fastener and are ideal for use in many interior and exterior bonding applications. In many situations they can replace rivets spot welds liquid adhesives and other permanent fasteners. These 3M VHB Tapes are made with acrylic foam which is viscoelastic in nature. This gives the foam energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties which provides these tapes with their unique characteristics. The acrylic chemistry provides outstanding durability performance. These tapes utilize a variety of specific foam adhesive color and release liner types to provide each productfamily with specific features. These features can include adhesion to specific or a broad range of materials conformability high tensile strength high shear and peel adhesion resistance to plasticizer migration and UL746C recognition. All 3M VHB Tapes have excellent durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance. The tapes included in this data page have unique performance features that are not typically required in most common applications. Please refer to 3M VHB Tapes technical data sheet for applications that do not require the special features incorporated in these specialty tapes. 3M VHB Tape Products 4950 Family This family has general purpose adhesive on both sides of firm type foam.

Core Size All products are provided on a 3 inch ID Core 76.2 mm Converted Parts In addition to standard and custom roll sizes available from 3M through the distribution network 3M VHB Tapes are also available in limitless shapes and sizes through the 3M Converter network. For additional information contact 3M Converter Markets at 1-800-223-7427 or on the web at www.3M.comconverter. Shelf Life All 3M VHB Tapes have a shelf life of 24 months from date of shipment when stored at 40F to 100F 4C to 38C and 0-95 relative humidity. The optimum storage conditions are 72F 22C and 50 relative humidity. Performance of tapes is not projected to change even after shelf life expires however 3M does suggest that 3M VHB Tapes are used prior to the shelf life date whenever possible. The manufacturing date is available on all 3M VHB Tape cores as the lot number. The lot number typically a 4 digit code is a Julian date

Y D D D. The first digit refers to the year of manufacture the last 3 digits refer to the days after January 1. Example A lot number of 9266 would translate to a date of manufacture of Sept. 22 266th day of year in 2009. On most products this is found as the 4 digits after the 9 following the product number. For tapes printed continuously around the core e.g. 3M VHB Tape 5952 family the lot number typically will be the string of 4 digits preceding the product number. Special Cases Plasticized Vinyl Plasticizers compounded in soft vinyl can migrate into adhesives and significantly change their performance characteristics. 3M VHB Tapes 4945 family has very good plasticizer resistance and adhesion to many vinyl formulations. Because of the wide variation in vinyl formulations however evaluation by the user must be conducted with the specific vinyl used to ensure that performance will be satisfactory over time. Problems related to plasticizer migration can often be predicted by accelerated aging of assembled parts at 150F 66C for one week. -3- 3M VHB Tape Specialty Tapes Typical Performance Characteristics Note The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.

The above information is presented to show that occasional chemical contact should not be detrimental to tape performance in most applications in ordinary use. -6- 3M VHB Tape Specialty Tapes Design and Tape Selection Considerations Choose the right tape for the substrate Adhesives must flow onto the substrate surfaces in order to achieve intimate contact area and allow the molecular force of attraction to develop. The degree of flow of the adhesive on the substrate is largely determined by the surface energy of the substrate. Adhesive Adhesive Substrate High surface energy Substrate Low surface energy This illustration demonstrates the effect of surface energy on adhesive interfacial contact. High surface energy materials draw the adhesive closer for high bond strength. Relationship of Adhesion and Surface Energy for 3M VHB Tape Adhesive Families 4950 Family 4945 Family Generally good adhesion 4910 Family 4951 Family 4952 Family Adhesion to specific substrates is less dependent on surface energy Primer may be needed for good adhesion 4611 Family 4622 Family 1100-400 50-42 39-38 High 37-36 Medium 33-18 Low Surface Energy Dynescm Aluminum Stainless Steel Copper Zinc Tin Lead Anodized Aluminum Glass Polyimide Phenolic Nylon Alkyd Enamel Polyester Epoxy Paint Polyurethane ABS Polycarbonate PVC PPE Acrylic PU Enamel Powder Paint PVA Polystyrene Acetal PVDF Paint Powder Paint EVA Polyethylene Polypropylene PVF Silicone PTFE NOTES There are a wide variety of formulations surfaces finishes and surface treatments available on substrate materials which can affect adhesion. This chart is intended to provide only a rough estimate of the adhesion levels which can be expected on some common materials relative to a reference surface such as aluminum. Foam type can affect andor limit maximum adhesive strength. Use the right tape thickness The necessary thicknes

s of tape depends on the rigidity of substrates and their flatness irregularity. While the 3M VHB Tapes will conform to a certain amount of irregularity they will not flow to fill gaps between the materials. For bonding rigid materials with normal flatness consider use of tapes with thickness of 45 mils 1.1 mm or greater. As the substrate flexibility increases thinner tapes can be considered. Use the right amount of tape Because 3M VHB Tapes are viscoelastic by nature their strength and stiffness is a function of the rate at which they are stressed. They behave stronger with relatively faster rate of stress load dynamic stresses and will tend to show creep behavior with stress load acting over a long period of time static stresses. As a general rule for static loads approximately four square inches of tape should be used for each pound 57 cm2 of tape per kg of weight to be supported in order to prevent excessive creep. For dynamic loads the dynamic performance characteristics provided on page 4 should be useful factoring in the appropriate safety factors. Allow for thermal expansioncontraction 3M VHB Tapes can perform well in applications where two bonded surfaces may expand and contract differentially. Assuming good adhesion to the substrates the tapes can typically tolerate differential movement in the shear plane up to 3 times their thickness. Bond Flexibility While an advantage for many applications where allowing differential movement is a benefit the tape bonds are typically more flexible than alternative bonding methods. Suitable design modifications or periodic use of rigid fasteners or adhesives may be needed if additional stiffness is required. Severe Cold Temperature Applications which require performance at severe cold temperatures must be thoroughly evaluated by the user if the intended use will subject the tape product to high impact stresses.

mation. -7- 3M VHB Tape Specialty Tapes Application Techniques Clean Most substrates are best prepared by cleaning with a 5050 mixture of isopropyl alcohol IPA and water prior to applying 3M VHB Tapes. Exceptions to the general procedure that may require additional surface preparation include Heavy Oils A degreaser or solvent-based cleaner may be required to remove heavy oil or grease from a surface and should be followed by cleaning with IPAwater. Abrasion Abrading a surface followed by cleaning with IPAwater can remove heavy dirt or oxidation and can increase surface area to improve adhesion. Abrasion is not suggested with 3M VHB Tapes 4932 and 4952. Adhesion Promoters Priming a surface can significantly improve initial and ultimate adhesion to many materials such as plastics and paints. Porous surfaces Most porous and fibered materials such as wood particleboard concrete etc. need to be sealed to provide a unified surface. Unique Materials Special surface preparation may be needed for glass and glass-like materials copper and copper containing metals and plastics or rubber that contain components that migrate e.g. plasticizers. Refer to 3M Technical Bulletin Surface Preparation for 3M VHB Tape Applications for additional details and suggestions. 70-0704-8701-5 Note These cleaner solutions contain greater than 250 gl of volatile organic compounds VOC. Please consult your local Air Quality Regulations to be sure the cleaner is compliant. When using solvents be sure to follow the manufacturers precautions and directions for use when handling such materials. Pressure Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed. Firm application pressure develops better adhesive contact and helps improve bond strength. Typically good surface contact can be attained by applying enough pressure to insure that the tape experiences approximately 15 psi 100 kPa pressure. Either roller or platen pressure can be used. Note that rigid surfaces may

require 2 or 3 times that much pressure to make the tape experience 15 psi. Temperature Ideal application temperature range is 70F to 100F 21C to 38C. Pressure sensitive adhesives use viscous flow to achieve substrate contact area.

Note Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below these suggested minimums is not recommended because the adhesive becomes too firm to adhere readily. However once properly applied low temperature holding is generally satisfactory. To obtain good performance with all 3M VHB Tapes it is important to ensure that the surfaces are dry and free of condensed moisture. Time After application the bond strength will increase as the adhesive flows onto the surface also referred to as wet out. At room temperature approximately 50 of ultimate bond strength will be achieved after 20 minutes 90 after 24 hours and 100 after 72 hours. This flow is faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. Ultimate bond strength can be achieved more quickly and in some cases bond strength can be increased by exposure of the bond to elevated temperatures e.g. 150F 66C for 1 hour. This can provide better adhesive wetout onto the substrates. Abrasion of the surfaces or the use of primers adhesion promoters can also have the effect of increasing bond strength and achieving ultimate bond strength more quickly. -8- Bond Typical Build vs. Time PERCENT OF FULL BOND 100 80 60 40 20 ROOM TEMP 0 20 MIN 1 HOUR 50F 24 HOURS 150F or ABRADE 72 HOURS 3M VHB Tape Specialty Tapes Technical Information The technical information recommendations and other statements contained in this document are based upon tests or experience that 3M believes are reliable but the accuracy or completeness of such information is not guaranteed.
