High-Bond / Acrylic-Foam Tapes (VHB)

VHB-Style Double Sided Bonding

High-Bond Acrylic Foam Tapes

Find the exact thickness, color, or 3M™ VHB™ equivalent fast.

Double-sided acrylic foam tapes are engineered for permanent, structural bonding on metals, plastics, glass, and composites. The unique viscoelastic foam absorbs shock, dissipates stress, and perfectly seals out water and moisture.

Replace mechanical fasteners, rivets, and messy liquid adhesives for cleaner aesthetics, faster assembly times, and long-term durability.

How to Choose Your Tape

1. Substrate Energy
Bare metals and glass are easy. Powder-coated paints and plastics require specialized LSE (Low Surface Energy) tape formulas.
2. Tape Thickness
Ranges from 10 mil to 120 mil. Thicker tapes (like 45 mil or 60 mil) are required to absorb heavy vibration and fill uneven gaps.
3. Color & Aesthetics
Use Clear tape for invisible glass/acrylic joints. Gray, White, and Black are standard for hidden structural and automotive joints.
