Tapes, VHB™

A strong, fast, and easy way to create durable and reliable bonds, eliminating rivets, screws, bolts and welds. 3M™ VHB™ Tape provides high strength and long-term durability, offering design flexibility with its viscoelasticity and powerful ability to bond a variety of surfaces.

• Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability
• Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength
• Virtually invisible fastening keeps surfaces smooth
• Black, 1,1 mm, modified acrylic adhesive on a very conformable acrylic foam core
• Bonds to a wide variety of substrates including most powder-coated paints and irregular surfaces
• Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welding, screws) or liquid adhesives
• High dynamic stress absorption reduces vibration and impact stress
• Creates a permanent seal against water, moisture and more
• Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials

3M™ VHB™ Tape consists of a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties. This provides an extraordinarily strong double-sided foam tape that adheres to a broad range of substrates, including aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and painted or sealed wood and concrete. These bonding tapes provide excellent shear strength, conformability, surface adhesion and temperature resistance. They are commonly used in applications across a variety of markets including transportation, appliance, electronics, construction, sign and display, and general industrial.

These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. The result is a family of extraordinarily strong tapes that adhere to a broad range of substrates. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds, and other forms of mechanical fasteners.
