3M VHB Tapes are viscoelastic acrylic foam tapes with excellent adhesion and stress relaxation properties. They are suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior bonding applications.
The 3M VHB™ tape family provides high‑strength acrylic foam adhesives for interior and exterior bonding. Available in a range of adhesive chemistries—multi‑purpose, modified, general purpose, low‑temperature and low‑surface‑energy—and foam constructions such as conformable, very conformable, firm and clear, the tapes can replace rivets, spot welds and liquid adhesives in many applications.
The document lists product families, physical properties, dynamic adhesion performance, static shear temperature tolerance, available roll sizes, shelf life and additional electrical and outgassing characteristics. It also includes ordering information such as core size, slitting tolerance and converter options.
