3M Adhesive Tape 4956F Gray

Efficient bonding for demanding applications

3M™ VHB™ Tape 4956 (gray) is a 1.6 mm thick, double-sided, high-performance acrylic-based adhesive tape. It was developed to replace mechanical fastening methods such as screws, rivets, or welding—this not only eliminates steps like drilling and finishing but also enables sleek and modern designs.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive provides an immediately load-bearing bond characterized by high durability. The bond is virtually invisible, which is particularly advantageous in design applications. The viscoelastic structure absorbs dynamic loads, reduces vibrations, and provides a permanent seal against moisture, water, and other environmental influences.

The adhesive tape flexibly adapts to various surfaces—even on uneven or dissimilar materials. It adheres particularly well to materials with medium to high surface energy (e.g., metals, painted surfaces, many plastics, or glass) and exhibits high resistance to plasticizers, such as those commonly found in PVC.
