What is 3M™ VHB™ Tape?
3M™ VHB™ is a high-performance structural double-sided tape designed for permanent, high-strength bonding.
Utilizing 3M’s patented acrylic adhesive and closed-cell foam technology, VHB provides exceptional bonding strength, airtight sealing, and long-term durability. It is the premier alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners like screws, rivets, or liquid adhesives in high-standard industrial environments.
Superior Moisture & Air Barrier
The unique closed-cell foam structure of VHB creates a permanent seal against water and air.

Key Features of VHB
- ● Incredible Adhesion: Bonds to a wide variety of substrates including metal, glass, and high-energy plastics.
- ● Viscoelastic Vibration Damping: Absorbs shock and distributes stress across the entire bond line.
- ● Waterproof & Airtight: Closed-cell structure effectively blocks moisture and contaminants.
- ● Weather & Chemical Resistance: Resists UV light, temperature extremes, moisture, and solvents.
- ● Design Flexibility: Create smooth, clean surfaces without unsightly rivets or weld marks.
