3M™ VHB™ (Very High Bond) tapes deliver exceptional performance thanks to the properties of their acrylic core.
The core exhibits dual properties, behaving like both a highly viscous liquid and an elastic solid. This property is known as viscoelasticity. The viscosity of the adhesive enables it to effect microscopic surface irregularities, creating a very strong bond. Meanwhile, the elastic properties enable the tape to absorb dynamic loads, compensate for differences in expansion between surfaces and distribute loads over as wide an area as possible.
With 3M™ VHB™ tapes, you can maintain consistency from the initial sketch to the final construction, eliminating the need for visible fasteners such as screws or bolts that can detract from the aesthetic finish. These tough, double-sided acrylic adhesive tapes enable you to create a long-lasting bond quickly and easily, which becomes stronger over time. They can join a variety of materials, including aluminium, steel, glass, plastics – and both traditionally painted and powder-coated surfaces, providing flexible adhesive bonds to almost any surface.
