VHB foam tape is a double sided, double-strength tape that combines the best qualities of a viscous liquid with the flexibility of an elastic solid. The acrylate adhesive on one side and the closed-cell acrylic foam on the other make it an exceptional solution for a variety of applications.
The very high-bond family of products offers high adhesion to a broad range of substrates, including metals, sealed woods, glass, composites, particleboard, cement, and plastics. They also have a wide temperature range and work well with many different types of surface finishes, such as paints, varnishes, or other coatings.
VHB foam tape has been used for a wide range of applications throughout the years. From transportation to construction to electronics, manufacturers have come to rely on it for its proven design flexibility and durability as a replacement for mechanical fasteners, such as rivets and screws.
When designers in the automotive industry wanted to eliminate the added weight and vibration of mechanical fasteners, they found that VHB tape could help them achieve a lightweight, watertight bond. This enabled them to eliminate the need for a large number of mechanical fasteners and speed up their manufacturing process.
With a single application, VHB foam tape bonds metals and a variety of plastics together, eliminating the need for welding and riveting. Its permanent bond and stress load distribution also allows it to resist corrosion.
