Foam Tape

3M foam tape for sealing, mounting, cushioning, and gap filling — open-cell urethane for vibration damping and electronics, or closed-cell vinyl for weather sealing and outdoor durability.

Firm Urethane Temp

Up to 350°F (176°C) short-term — 4104 series

Vinyl Foam Temp

Up to 250°F (121°C) short-term

UL Compliance

UL 94HBF — multiple vinyl and urethane foam grades

Overview

ALS Tape supplies 3M foam tapes in two primary structural types, each suited to different performance requirements. Open-cell urethane foam (4314/4317/4318 charcoal gray series) is soft and conformable, allows air and gas vapor to pass through, and is used for electronics vibration damping, audio cavity sealing, and cushioning applications. Firm open-cell urethane foam (4104/4108/4116 natural white series) provides more rigid cushioning support at temperatures up to 350°F (176°C) short-term. Closed-cell vinyl foam (4504/4508/4516 and 4714/4718/4726 black series) is durable, flexible, and weather-resistant — it seals against dust, light, and moisture when compressed at least 30%. Multiple vinyl foam grades meet UL 94HBF flame requirements for electronics enclosure and fire-sensitive industrial applications. Both single-coated (acrylic PSA one side, liner other side) and double-coated (acrylic PSA both sides) constructions are available across urethane, vinyl, and polyethylene foam carriers. ALS Tape supports slitting and die-cutting of foam tape materials into strips, gaskets, pads, and custom converted shapes.

Key Features

Open-Cell Urethane — Soft, conformable foam that cushions and damps vibration. Allows airflow through the foam cell structure. For electronics vibration damping, audio sealing, and light-duty cushioning.

Firm Urethane — Higher-density rigid foam for load-bearing cushioning support up to 350°F (176°C) short-term.

Closed-Cell Vinyl — Weather-resistant, flexible foam that seals against dust, light, and moisture when compressed ≥30%. For outdoor enclosures, weatherstripping, and structural gap sealing.

UL 94HBF Compliance — Multiple vinyl foam grades (4504, 4508, 4516, 4714, 4718, 4726) meet UL 94HBF flame requirements for electronics enclosure and safety-rated assemblies.

Single and Double Coated — Single-coated for liner-side application control; double-coated for bond-both-sides mounting and assembly.

Custom Die-Cut Formats — Slit strips, die-cut gaskets, mounting pads, and custom converted foam shapes available.
