Secure and seal metal products with a bond that lasts.

ASK A 3M EXPERT

Time, speed and efficiency are crucial to industrial and mechanical engineers in the metalworking industry. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a high-strength alternative to riveting and welding, which lack both speed and resolve. It requires no finishing, withstands extremely high temperatures, and attaches all kinds of metallic substrates, including powder-coated and painted ones.

Proven High-Performance Bonding

Achieve strong, durable bonds, even when substrates aren’t flat. Do without the mess and disruption of welding, riveting, or other attachment methods — a long-lasting bond is as quick and simple as applying 3M™ VHB™ Tape!
Streamline Processes and Boost Productivity

Reduce labour costs, preparation work and finishing from the process, such as weld grinding and sealing individual penetrations from screws, nuts and bolts. The easy application of 3M™ VHB™ Tape saves you time on the assembly ground, and increases efficiency as it also requires minimal training.
The Strong Complement to Mechanical Fasteners

Lab-tested and proven in the real world, 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a high-strength alternative to traditional rivets, bolts, screws and welds. The tape distributes stress over the entire bonded area, eliminating stress caused by mechanical fasteners.
