The remarkable strength and durability of 3M VHB Tape were put to the test when it was used to bond 401,202kg of steel panels to the stiffeners on California’s Walt Disney Concert Hall. This extraordinary application highlights the tape’s ability to perform across projects of all scales, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable solution for the built environment.

With high strength and performance excellence for both indoor and outdoor applications, 3M VHB Tape eliminates the need for rivets, screws, bolts and welds, improving design, construction and aesthetics while boosting productivity.

So, what makes 3M VHB Tape an ideal choice for construction projects? It streamlines the assembly process by eliminating unnecessary steps, enabling fast and easy bonding. As a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), it bonds instantly upon contact, requiring no drying time or fixturing. It also offers exceptional design flexibility, capable of bonding a wide variety of building materials with minimal surface preparation.

Providing undeniable structural strength, 3M VHB Tape offers a clean and durable alternative to mechanical fasteners. Its extreme strength and durability stem from its unique design – a viscoelastic acrylic adhesive that behaves like both a viscous liquid and an elastic solid. This composition allows it to distribute loads over a wider area, accommodate varying levels of expansion and contraction between substrates, and effectively absorb dynamic load levels.

Unlike rivets and screws, which can leave unsightly marks that detract from project design, 3M VHB Tape ensures a pristine finish for both interiors and exteriors. Available in transparent options, it provides an aesthetically pleasing look with no visible pocks or punctures. Its virtually invisible fastening maintains smooth, clean surfaces, enhancing overall design and appearance.

Finding the right 3M VHB Tape

Using 3M VHB Tape in the construction assembly process can increase labour efficiency, reduce time and cut costs. To ensure optimal results, 3M application experts assist in selecting the right tape to meet specific process or assembly requirements.
