3M™ VHB™ Tape 4979F offers a robust and permanent acrylic bonding solution that adheres quickly and securely to a variety of thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. Created for challenging environments and conditions, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing valuable time saving by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. The versatile and easy-to-use bonding method is highly conformable and provides seamless joining that keeps surfaces smooth and aesthetically pleasing to deliver a professional application. The advanced technology of the pressure-sensitive adhesive protects against moisture and seals tightly for long-term durability, performing in short-term use at a temperature up to 300 °F (149 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 200 °F (93 °C). Having excellent plasticizer resistance, 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4979F excels across many industries, including general industrial, transportation, construction, appliance assembly and repair, signage, and electronics.

As a part of the 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4941 suite, a line of durable and permanent bonding solutions, 3M™ VHB™ Tape 4979F is designed to excel in challenging applications where two bonded surfaces may expand and contract differentially. In this family of products, a variety of tape thicknesses are available to meet the unique needs of each project as the ideal tape thickness depends on the rigidity and the degree of flatness of the substrate. In many instances, for example, a relatively flat and flexible material can warrant using a thinner tape. Whether your application is indoor or outdoor, involves medium or high surface energy substrates, or requires excellent plasticizer resistance, this bonding system is engineered to improve productivity, reliability, and durability. When looking for a 3M™ VHB™ Tape for your application requirements, there are many aspects to consider, and a 3M adhesion expert can help you select the correct tape for your next project.
