ASK A 3M EXPERT

  • Automotive process and design engineers are familiar with traditional joining methods like mechanical fasteners in their assembly process. Unfortunately, they are prone to metal distortion and weakness during heavy loads and cause metal fatigue with the added weight. For panel-to-frame vehicle assembly, 3M™ VHB™ Tape provides the strength you need while enabling lightweight, high-performance vehicles that last on the open roads despite constant exposure to harsh weather conditions, moisture, and UV light.

What Makes 3M™ VHB™ Tape Superior?
