An Unconventional Foam Tape

3M™ VHB™ Tapes were invented in 1980 as the first of their kind. These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. They are a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds, and other forms of mechanical fasteners. 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. This tape offers a consistent bond, outstanding durability, and excellent solvent and moisture resistance. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a trusted and reliable tape that provides design guidance and technical support when needed.

Proven Reliability from 3M™ VHB™ Tapes

3M™ VHB™ Tape offers a durable bond that mechanical fasteners can't. It enhances 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. This versatile line of tapes can be used indoors or outdoors in a variety of applications, including window, door and sign assembly, electronics, construction, and countless other industrial applications. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is chemically resistant as well as UV and temperature stable, making it capable of withstanding 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.
