The 3M VHB Tape 4918 is a clear, 2.0mm thick, acrylic tape, ideal for bonding transparent materials or where colored bond lines are unwanted. Its durable adhesive with viscoelastic properties ensures strong double-sided foam tape that adheres to various substrates including aluminium, stainless steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and wood. Widely used in transportation, appliances, electronics, signage, and general industrial sectors, it offers excellent shear strength, conformability, surface adhesion, and temperature resistance. Recommended applications include decorative material and trim, nameplates, electronic displays, panel to frame, and stiffener to panel. As part of the 4950 family of 3M VHB Tapes, it revolutionized bonding technology, combining conformability with a strong, permanent bond across a broad range of substrates.
