What is 3m5952?
3m5952 is a black double-sided adhesive tape from 3M’s VHB (Very High Bond) acrylic foam series. It uses a modified acrylic adhesive system designed for high-strength bonding to a wide variety of substrates, including low surface energy materials like plastics and powder-coated metals. With its 1.1mm thick foam core, it offers superior conformability, shock absorption, and weather resistance, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications across multiple industries.
