Viscoelasticity: a material property exhibiting both viscous and elastic properties when deformed.
3M™ VHB™ Tape is a high strength, double-sided acrylic adhesive tape. The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) creates an instant bond without any drying time required.
The polymer of 3M™ VHB™ Tape is comprised of carbon-carbon chemical bonds that are highly resistant to energy. With less durable foams, exposure to heat, UV rays or chemicals can cause mechanical properties to break down. With 3M™ VHB™ Tape, the materials actually build strength over time, providing a stronger, long lasting bond.
From airplane wings to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, learn why engineers are passing on rivets, welds, and screws.
Through high heat, extreme cold, water, UV rays - and even hurricane wind, 3M™ VHB™ Tape can help you hold it together.
3M™ VHB™ Tape customers have saved up to 20% on labour costs, and eliminated entire steps from their manufacturing processes.
Don't be distracted by rivets, welds or screws. 3M™ VHB™ Tape can help you create designs with uninterrupted potential.
