3M™ VHB™ Tapes

300,000-mile performance- VHB Foam Tape replaces rivets in panel assembly helping reduce fatigue cracking and corrosion while saving labor, time and cost. Combined with other design improvements, Marmon could raise its truck cab warranty from 100,000 miles to 300,000

Replace rivets, screws and other mechanical fastening.

High strength 3M™ VHB Tapes are used throughout industry to replace mechanical fastening for permanent assembly in many applications. To help meet your assembly and production requirements consider 3M™ VHB Transfer Tape or VHB Double Coated Acrylic Foam Tape. With transfer tape, a thin dry strip of permanent pressure sensitive adhesive is transferred from a liner to the surface to be bonded, ready to use. The foam carrier of VHB Foam Tapes helps provide higher strength, handling convenience, cushioning, damping and impact resistance. 3M™ VHB+ Foam Tapes bond a wider range of materials. More conformable foam helps improve void filling and flexibility, and application temperatures can be lower

Compensate for difference in thermal expansion - VHB Tape securely bonds stainless steel scuff strips to aluminum wing flaps despite extreme ground-to-air temperature swings of 150 Die-cut for easy assembly - For assembly efficiency, die-cut pieces of 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 – 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 VHB Foam 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 VHB Tape, lighter thinner materials were used for easier installation, helping reduce labor and material cost. High contact adhesion to glass – To bond muntin bars to window glass, VHB+ Foam Tape conforms to glass with high contact. The bond resists weathering and UV light
