3M Adhesives & VHB Tapes
What 3M Adhesive Tapes Offer
3M™ Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) and VHB™ Tapes are designed to meet a variety of unique bonding needs. As a 3M™ converter, we leverage advanced adhesive technologies to provide tailored solutions, including part design, rapid prototyping, and laminating adhesives to various surfaces.
The 3M™ family of VHB™ Tapes, made from closed-cell acrylic foam, offers exceptional flexibility for applications subjected to dynamic forces in exterior environments.
Adhesive Features & Benefits
- Easily Die-Cut: Precisely fit shapes facilitate easier assembly.
- Strength: Replace traditional fasteners like rivets, liquid adhesives, and spot welds with superior bonding.
- Clean Appearance: Achieve a seamless look without unsightly rivets or welds.
- Seals: Provides excellent water and humidity resistance along the entire bond line.
- Vibration Resistant: Acrylic foam distributes stress evenly, dampening vibrations.
- Durability: Proven performance for over 25 years in continuous use.
- Corrosion Protection: Separates metals to minimize the risk of galvanic corrosion.
Let our team of experts help with recommendations, part design, laminating, and die-cutting for sponge and rubber parts.
Potential Applications & Industries
3M™ adhesive tapes are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including component assembly, bonding, and insulating electronics. Their acrylic foam chemistry provides outstanding durability for OEM applications.
These adhesives ensure secure seals across industries like transportation, aerospace, industrial, and military. In these sectors, the reliability and efficiency of 3M adhesive solutions are critical, providing seamless bonding that meets rigorous performance standards and regulatory requirements.
Design Specifics & How The Product Works
Our 3M™ VHB™ Tapes use advanced closed-cell acrylic foam technology that provides excellent adhesion while maintaining flexibility. This unique structure allows the tapes to conform to surfaces, creating strong, long-lasting bonds that resist environmental stressors.
What Makes 3M Adhesive Tape So Effective? The exceptional performance of our 3M PSA tapes stems from their ability to distribute stress evenly across the bond area. This minimizes failure points and enhances durability, making them ideal for high-demand applications.
