3M VHB™ high performance connection systems

3M VHB™ High Performance Fastening Systems offer a number of advantages over traditional mechanical fastening methods such as screws, rivets or bolts. Some of these benefits are:

• High adhesive force: These connection systems offer a very high adhesive force, which ensures a secure and permanent connection.
• No Holes: Since there is no need to drill holes in the materials to be joined, they remain intact and there is no risk of rusting through or leaks.
• Easy processing: Processing the VHB connection systems is easy and requires no special tools or skills.
• Flexibility: The VHB connection systems are flexible and can adapt to the movements of the connected materials, which ensures a longer service life of the connection.
• No heat requirement: VHB connection systems do not require heat or tools to create the connection.

The VHB connection systems are widely used in applications such as the assembly of windows, doors, signs, lights, electronic devices and much more. They enable quick and easy processing without the use of tools or mechanical fasteners and ensure a durable and resilient connection.

Because the VHB connection systems are strong and flexible, they are ideal for applications where a strong and flexible connection is required.

There are also special VHB tapes such as VHB Tape 4910, which are suitable for use in harsh environments and at high temperatures.
There are also VHB connection systems specifically for use in the automotive industry, such as the VHB Tape 4932, which is particularly suitable for attaching body parts due to its high adhesive strength and UV resistance.

Overall, 3M offers a wide range of VHB connection systems suitable for a variety of applications and environments. It is advisable to carefully read the technical data sheet for each tape and to note the recommended processing and applications.

Another benefit of 3M VHB™ High Performance Fastening Systems is the ability to use them in combination with other fastening methods for an even more secure and reliable connection. For example, they can be used in combination with screws or bolts to increase the holding power and improve the load-bearing capacity of the connection.

VHB Fastening Systems are also available in various sizes and shapes such as in roll form or as pre-cut strips for ease of processing. They can also be available in special colors to increase the visibility of the connection.

Another advantage of VHB connection systems is that they are usually UV resistant and have a long service life if processed and applied correctly. They are also resistant to moisture, chemicals and many other environmental conditions, making them particularly suitable for applications in harsh environments.

However, like any other product, VHB Tape also has some limitations such as not suitable for use on uneven surfaces, not suitable for use on coated surfaces and not suitable for use in extreme temperatures. It is important to follow the recommended processing and applications for each tape in order to achieve the best possible results.

Please note that each VHB tape has its specific applications and specific temperatures and environmental conditions it can withstand and it is recommended that you consult the technical data sheet for each tape before using it.
