3M™ VHB™ Tape’s all-acrylic construction seals against moisture and most solvents, providing long-term resistance to UV and temperature cycles. The tape’s unique foa acts as a shock absorber for outstanding impact resistance. Unlike the stress points common to mechanical fasteners, VHB tape distributes the stress. You can use thinner, lighter-weight materials with less material fatigue.

Tapes Smooth trucking: 3M™ VHB™ Tape replaced rivets in bonding truck side panels to stiffeners. The result was a much smoother, cleaner appearance and a strong bond. In addition to the design improvement, VHB tape can reduce vibration in the box.

Compensate for differences in thermal expansion: 3M™ VHB™ Tape securely bonds stainless steel scuff strips to aluminum wing flaps despite extreme ground-to-air temperature swings of 150°F to -40°F (65°C to -40°C).

Die-cut for easy assembly: For assembly efficiency, die-cut pieces of 3M™ VHB™ Tape bond components in a water-resistant video camera case. The foam conforms to help seal the unit.

Immediate bonding to pre-painted metal: 3M™ VHB™ Tape bonds panel stiffeners on contact to pre-painted metal cabinetry. Unlike welding, applying the tape does not damage the finish.

Virtually invisible fastening: Mirrored ceiling panels are held in place with 3M™ VHB™ Tape rather than with rivets or screws. This helps maintain a clean, smooth appearance without distorting the reflective surfaces.

Use lighter, thinner materials: In assembling this sign with 3M™ VHB™ Tape, lighter, thinner materials were used for easier installation, helping reduce labor and materials cost.

High contact adhesion to glass: bond muntin bars to window glass, 3M™ VHB™ Tape conforms to glass with high contact. The bond resists weathering and UV light.
