  • Why Are People Using 3M VHB Tape?

Why Are People Using 3M VHB Tape?

Posted on April 20, 2022

A tape that can be used to bond two substrates together is known as double-sided tape. It is pressure sensitive and carries a liner. It is coated with adhesives on both sides and used by being sandwiched between two surfaces. 

Why Are 3M VHB Tape Better Than Others?

The 3M is making marvellous tapes that are double-sided and very high bonding “VHB”. There are several different industries that are using VHB tape double-sided in several applications. It is also used because it provides better aesthetics to the design of the product while providing the much-needed bonding to bring the whole device together. 

The VHB tape double sided provides the industry-grade or heavy-duty bonding strength and there is a huge catalogue of 3M VHB tape that is prioritized by the manufacturers and design engineers over other double-sided tapes. 

These tapes are used in industries that are making compact and lightweight products as it eliminates the use of metal screws and rivets as fasteners. While making devices lightweight and compact these also make them look good aesthetically by removing bulky metal clamps. 

The 3M is the first company to manufacture such high bonding tapes which have changed productivity and revolutionized adhesion in industries. The VHB tape by 3M is stronger than any other type of the same category making it the most favoured VHB tape. 

Why do Carriers Make a Difference?

The liner or carrier is used to protect the adhesion during storing the tape and the carrier helps to make itself wound. The right type of liner is used as this can affect the physical properties and performance of the tape while in use. There are several benefits of using the right type of liner material:

  • It provides much-needed flexibility.
  • The UV resistance can be increased with the right liner.
  • The thickness is not always too much to hold on its own so the need for the liner gets increased.
  • The life cycle increases.
  • It also provides resistance against water and moisture.
  • The abrasion can be avoided as the liner brings enough resistance with itself.
  • The electrical insulation and thermal conductivity can be achieved. 
  • It also provides transparency.
  • The liner makes the tapes flame retardant.

The Industries Where You Will Find VHB Tapes:

There are numerous known and bigger industries that are using the VHB tapes in different applications and processes. Some of the industries are mentioned below areas: 

Transportation

There are some applications in transportation where plastic frames are bonded with fibre glasses.

Next, the VHB tapes are used in the panels which remove the need for rivets and screws. 

In commercial and heavy transport vehicles like trains, trucks, and buses the VHB tapes are used to dampen the vibration and shock. 

VHB tape double-sided can effectively bond metals like stainless and aluminium in vehicles like commercial trucks and planes too. 

It can perfectly work well in temperatures from -400C to 650C in the air or on the ground making it versatile. 

Electronics

Now in electronics there are hundreds of smaller and micro components brought together and metal fasteners are not always a great choice due to size and weight restrictions. 

The 3M VHB tape is used to stick the ICs to the battery and the tape will provide shock absorption to the electrical contacts.

The 3M tapes come in standard packaging size but they can be die-cut as per the shape and size needed so you can use them in electronics to bond smaller and flexible circuits which will be working in high temperatures. 

Sign Boards

The signboards can be the most exciting if not the newest industry for the 3M tapes. The VHB tapes provide a very clean and even surface for outstanding graphics. 

These are used on the traffic boards to provide safety and security to the people. 

Construction

The VHB tape by 3M is capable of holding up the heavy glass ceilings in the rooms. 

These are used in the electric socket and switchboard panels to make them compact and hidden in walls which cannot be achieved using metal screws. 

The VHB tape double sided provides better aesthetically looking frames and outer surfaces that retain the originality and beauty of the design.

Metal & Plastic Fabrication

When mounting the metal panel doors or windows the tapes can come in handy. Now there are pre-cut and painted parts available which can be assembled without needing to weld these together which damages the finish.

Also, these are used to keep the duct panels and many other components in the metal fabrication due to their capacity holding heavyweight. 

What are the Benefits of Using 3M VHB Tape?

High Bonding Strength

The primary and very simple benefit is that it provides exceptional bonding strength in applications and can be used on different materials including plastic, metal, and glass. The VHB tapes are used for a variety of reasons along with for the bonding and adhesion. The elastic property of the tape helps to absorb the shock and it reduces the impact of shock by distributing proportionately.

Protection Against Unseen Impacts

The VHB tape by 3M protects the surface and does not let the moisture enter. It creates a sealing against the water and moisture and provides high performance. Its adhesive also repels the UV lights. 

Invisibility

The VHB tapes come in a variety of colours so it is practically invisible when applied. You can buy VHB tape in clear, white, grey, and black colours. Also, the 3M VHB tape price is very affordable and worth it. 

Saves The Cost

It helps to save the cost by eliminating the need for costly and heavy metal fastenings. Also, the metal fasteners need drilling and take too much time. The VHB tape does not need any such thing as it takes very less time to apply without any additional tools. 

Conclusion

There is a huge demand for 3M VHB tape and industries enjoy the ease of handling and application it provides. It is one of the best products of the 3M as it works perfectly fine in several applications at extreme temperatures.
