Posted on Wed, Aug 30, 2017

Skyscrapers, appliances, signs, electronics - all trust the high-strength bonding of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes (very high bond).  For over 35 years, versatile 3M™ VHB™ Tapes have been used to make products stronger, lighter and simpler by eliminating some processing steps, reducing rework and driving down costs.

If your current method for joining materials together is sonic welding, chemical bonding or using mechanical fasteners (screws, rivets, etc.), it is time for you try 3M™ VHB™ Tapes, which have passed the tests of time and durability.  Unlike screws, rivets or welds that join materials at a single point, versatile 3M™ VHB™ Tapes permanently adheres one substrate to another while spreading the stress load across the entire length of the joint.  These high-strength, closed cell, acrylic foam tapes are conformable to each surface and the extraordinary bond is moisture, solvent, temperature and weather resistant.  Below is a list of some amazing features of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes:
