Benefits
Bonds Challenging Substrates
The modified acrylic adhesive provides excellent adhesion to powder-coated metals, composites, plastics, and many low surface energy materials.
Superior Conformability
The 1.6 mm acrylic foam easily conforms to uneven or textured surfaces while maintaining excellent bonding performance.
Replace Mechanical Fasteners
Eliminates screws, rivets, spot welding, and liquid adhesives, creating cleaner product designs and reducing assembly costs.
Excellent Environmental Durability
Maintains reliable bonding performance after prolonged exposure to UV radiation, moisture, humidity, and temperature cycling.
Outstanding Shock Absorption
The viscoelastic acrylic foam absorbs vibration and distributes stress evenly, improving long-term assembly reliability.
Waterproof Sealing
The closed-cell acrylic foam helps seal against water, dust, and environmental contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is 3M™ VHB™ 5962P used for?
It is designed for permanent structural bonding of metals, painted surfaces, composites, glass, and many plastics in automotive, construction, electronics, and industrial applications.
How thick is 3M™ VHB™ 5962P?
The tape has a nominal thickness of 1.6 mm (0.062 in).
What is the difference between 5962 and 5962P?
Both tapes use the same 1.6 mm black conformable acrylic foam and modified acrylic adhesive. The primary difference is the liner: 5962P features a printed PE film liner, which provides improved handling and identification during application.
What materials can it bond?
It bonds aluminum, stainless steel, painted metals, glass, polycarbonate, acrylic, composites, and many medium- to low-surface-energy plastics.
Can it replace screws or rivets?
Yes. In many industrial applications, it replaces mechanical fasteners while improving appearance and simplifying assembly.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. It offers excellent resistance to UV exposure, moisture, weathering, and temperature fluctuations.
