Our 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 aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS and painted or sealed wood and concrete. Our 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. Reliably bonds a variety of materials with strength and speed for permanent applications.
Recommended Applications
- Assembly of components before powder coat or liquid paint processes
- High operating temperature applications
- Stiffener to panel
- Panel to frame
- Decorative material and trim
- Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability
- Excellent high temperature resistance (short term 450˚F) allows for bonding prior to powder coat or liquid painting processes
- Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welding, screws) or liquid adhesives in appropriate applications
- Gray, 0.025” (0.6 mm), acrylic adhesive with a conformable, acrylic foam core.
- Using tapes could eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding
- Virtually invisible fastening helps keep surfaces smooth; no unsightly rivet heads or weld marks
- Closed-cell construction allows both bonding and sealing
- Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength
- Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials
