Special Cases:

Rough Surfaces with 3M™ VHB™ Tapes 4932/4952 – 3M™ VHB™ Tapes 4932/4952 were designed to

adhere to many low surface energy substrates. Rough surfaces created by light abrasion or textured molds are

typically detrimental to bond strength with this tape family.

Plasticized Vinyl – Plasticizers compounded in soft vinyl can migrate into adhesives and significantly change

their performance characteristics. 3M™ VHB™ Tapes 4941 and 4945 families have 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 150°F (66°C) for one week).
