VHB heavy-duty tapes

Exceptional Strength and Resistance in Extreme Conditions

3M VHB tapes intended for high-load applications are made from acrylic foam with a closed-cell structure, which combines high cohesion, flexibility and durability. As a result, they can absorb shocks and vibrations, compensate for thermal expansion of different materials and at the same time maintain bond strength even at extreme temperatures from –40 °C to +150 °C. The adhesive layer resists moisture, UV radiation, chemicals and ageing, ensuring a long service life even in demanding operations or outdoor environments.

Universal Use Across Different Materials

These VHB tapes create strong and permanent joints between a wide range of materials – from aluminium, stainless steel and glass to plastics, painted and composite surfaces. They are used for mounting façade panels, window frames, metal covers, structural parts, logos, brackets or structural components. In the automotive and transport sectors they are used, for example, for bonding body parts, mirrors or decorative elements without the need for mechanical drilling.

Advantages of VHB Tapes for Heavy Loads

• Structural strength with an aesthetic result – replace riveting and screwing

• Resistance to vibrations, temperature changes and UV radiation

• Excellent sealing and corrosion protection

• Permanent flexibility of the joint without cracks or deformation

• Clean and fast application with no curing time

Strong Bonds That Last for Decades

3M VHB tapes for heavy-duty applications are the result of cutting-edge technology that ensures long-term stable bonds even under extreme conditions. When applied correctly, they provide strength comparable to mechanical fastening while ensuring better stress distribution and a smooth surface without damaging the material.

The VHB Tapes for Heavy Loads category represents the highest level of adhesive technology, combining strength, flexibility and clean joint design – the ideal choice for professional constructions where reliability, aesthetics and long service life are crucial.
