3M VHB Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners. Unlike screws or rivets, 3M VHB Tape spreads the stress load across the entire length of the joint and will accommodate variable expansion and contraction rates. Once materials are joined, a virtually indestructible weld is created. This trusted and reliable tape offers a consistent bond, outstanding durability and excellent solvent and moisture resistance. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, architectural windows and more all rely on this specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening and sealing process.

3M VHB tape fits into grooves, around corners and through curves while offering a durable bond in a way that mechanical fasteners can't. This innovation provides opportunities for quick, effective MRO and the ability to design structures in new and different ways. The result is an extraordinarily strong tape that holds fast to a wide range of materials. Chemically resistant as well as UV and temperature stable, 3M VHB Tape can withstand the heat of Dubai to the cold of Canada. The unique acrylic chemistry is extremely durable and resistant to change over time, making this a long-lasting and powerful tape you can trust.

3M VHB Tape can enhance the appearance of finished goods by eliminating rivets and screws while providing immediate handling strength. In most cases, fastening with 3M VHB tape is a quicker process than drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesive. 3M's versatile line of tapes can be used indoors or outdoors in a variety of applications, including window and door assembly, sign assembly, electronics, maintenance and dozens of other industrial applications.

For best results from 3M VHB Tapes the surfaces should be clean and dry, and provide adequate pressure for ensuring a permanent bond with substrates. Also, ensure the application temperature is sufficient to build adhesion. 3M VHB Tapes will build adhesion with time. You can use adhesion promoters to increase adhesion or improve durability on select materials.
