3M™ VHB™ Tapes

3M™ VHB™ Tapes

3M™ VHB™ tapes provide the convenience and simplicity of a tape fastener and are ideal for use in many interior and exterior bonding applications. In many situations, VHB tapes can replace rivets, spot welds, nuts and bolts, liquid adhesives and other permanent fasteners. Save money, time and increase efficiency with less work drilling, screwing, welding, clean-up and refinishing. Easy to Use!

Each tape in the VHB tape family has specific features. All tapes should be thoroughly evaluated by the user under actual use conditions with intended substrates to determine if a specific tape is fit for a particular purpose, especially if expected use involves extreme environmental conditions
