*Note: All 3M™ VHB™ Tapes should be thoroughly evaluated by the user under actual use conditions with intended substrates to determine whether a specific tape is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user's method of application, especially if expected use involves extreme environmental conditions.

3M™ VHB™ Tape can also be die cut to the smallest, most unusual shapes and sizes, and is listed as UL 746C, making it ideal for a wide range of electrical applications.
