High Performance Tapes
VHB Foamed Acrylic Tapes
CHARACTERISTICS, FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Excellent load-bearing capability
Excellent high performance capability
Resilient performance in all weather conditions
Bonds to a wide variety of substrates
Load and stress is spread across the plane of the bond, there are no stress points that arise as with mechanical fixings
Stops metal fatigue and mechanical degradation that you get with fixings such as screws, nuts and bolts
Properties such as vibration, dampening, shock, absorption, sealing, thermal expansion and contraction take up conformability Excellent load-bearing capability
Aesthetic enhancement, no screw heads are visible. Invisible fixing and bonding
Reduces re-finishing work, touching-up and clean up time required with other forms of bonding/fixing
Quick to use, clean, safe and economic – improves productivity
No need to damage substrates to be bonded – no mechanical fixing, punctures or holes. Helps stop rusting – complete seal can be achieved
When replacing spot welding there is no distortion of the sheet metal. No welding bead needs to be ground down.

VHB SOLVES PROBLEMS
AESTHETICS
- Unsightly fasteners (rivets)
- Clean bond specified (designer / architect)
- “cheap” sounding / noisy
DURABILITY
- Holes place for corrosion
- Fatigue failure
- Environmental / solvent exposure
HIGH ASSEMBLY / DESIGN COST
- Many holes to drill
- Finishing after assembly
- High Labour skill level
- Fixturing / cure time required
- Two components required (gasket / fastener)
MATERIAL LIMITATIONS
- Galvanic corrosion (metals)
- Differential thermal expansion
- Thicker than required
