What are the advantages to using 3M VHB Tapes

Bonding product parts with precision, ease, reliability and strength requires an approach that breaks the barriers of traditional construction elements.

3M VHB Tapes open up a world of possibilities — eliminating rivets, screws, bolts and welds — and improving design construction, aesthetics and productivity. With unmatched strength, these tapes increase the overall durability and reliability of every product bond.

So, what are some of the advantages of using 3M VHB Tapes?

Invisible Bond..

Enhance your design appearance with virtually invisible bonding — a game-changing approach for your design concepts. Explore new possibilities and use new, innovative materials to improve the look of your products while optimising performance, preventing bi-metallic corrosion and streamlining your production processes.

A durable difference..

With a bond that’s built to withstand the rigors of exposure, 3M VHB Tapes resist hot, cold and cycling temperatures, UV light, moisture and solvents. They seal against environmental conditions and damp vibration to reduce metallic wear-and-tear.

Demanding strength

For your most demanding bonding applications, 3M™ VHB™ Tapes distribute dynamic or static stress over the entire surface of the design. This improves holding strength and eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, thus reducing the weight of your product which can lower component and transportation costs.  The viscoelastic construction of VHB tapes means that they can adapt to irregular surfaces and ensures a strong bond even on uneven surfaces.

Application efficiency

3M VHB Tapes are simple and easy to apply, saving you time and money. The tapes bond on contact, assemble easily and at RGH we can convert the tapes into precise shapes and sizes for custom applications.  RGH can also change the format of the custom die cuts to include pull tabs or oversized liners to help increase the speed of application.  3M VHB Tapes don’t require a cure time and can be used in pre-assembly processes.
