3M Announces VHB Metal Fabrication Tapes

Product Updates

New to 3M: VHB Metal Fabrication 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.

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 optimizing 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, improving holding strength and eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners.

Application Efficiency

3M VHB Tapes are simple and easy to apply, saving you time and money. The tapes bond on contact, assemble easily and can be cut to precise shapes and sizes for custom applications. 3M VHB Tapes don’t require a cure time and can be used in pre-assembly processes.

The Proven, High Strength Alternative to Mechanical Fasteners

3M™ VHB™ Tape offers manufacturers a distinct bonding advantage by spreading stress loads across the entire length of the joint, permanently adhering materials with a powerful bond. It’s time to replace screws, rivets, welds and other traditional fasteners with a better solution — 3M VHB Tape.
