3M VHB tapes

Sealpilot die-cuts and converts a variety of 3M VHB (Ultra High Bond) tapes into custom shapes and widths.

3M VHB tapes are made from acrylic foam that provides excellent strength and durability for demanding applications. The foam is viscoelastic in nature and utilizes energy absorption and stress relaxation properties, which give the tape its unique properties.

Completely closed-cell foam tapes are used for applications that bond with dynamic forces on the outside and under extreme conditions. The degree of adhesion achieved enables VHB to replace non-tape fastening methods such as mechanical fasteners, liquid adhesives, and other permanent fasteners. Sealotide is a preferred supplier to 3M and utilizes a variety of cutting methods to ensure your products meet your desired shape and size with the highest precision.

Better design, more flexibility, and faster turnaround

Sealpilot's precision die-cutting capabilities enable VHB tapes to fit any shape, size, or contour while helping to minimize assembly time. The special tape also accommodates irregularities in all rigid substrates, maintaining high internal strength even when slight mismatches may be present.

Sealpilot's complete in-house tooling and tooling capabilities enable production cycles to be significantly shortened. We have a large stock of materials, and our precision cutting services promise the highest performance for your products.

Strength and durability
The all-acrylic construction of 3M VHB Tapes offers the following benefits:

●Able to bond immediately with high clamping strength under static/dynamic stress
● Viscoelastic properties absorb shocks and thus reliably resist wind, vibration, and other stresses
● Resistant to extreme temperatures, UV rays, moisture and solvents
●Sealing performance under environmental conditions
●Prevent bimetallic corrosion
●Eliminate pull-through, indentation and welding deformation
In testing, VHB was shown to have a peel adhesion retention rate of 92% after aging at 150°F for more than 5 years. The initial tack and liner peel properties remain excellent, proving that a roll of VHB tape can withstand periodic, long-term exposure to high temperatures. Other tape durability tests were also conducted to demonstrate the heat resistance, moisture resistance, and UV exposure of VHB tapes.
