Explore new bonding possibilities with VHB™ extrudable tape from 3M™
Until now, manufacturers of appliances, specialty vehicles, and other products were limited by the adhesives crucial to their product designs. Unfortunately, standard industrial adhesives typically add time to production lines, require specialized storage and usage conditions, and generate excessive waste.
3M reimagines tape with this new bonding solution designed for automation, providing a faster, simplified, more sustainable solution for manufacturing processes. 3M VHB Extrudable Tape GP is a high-strength pressure-sensitive hybrid material that provides immediate handling strength, fast application, and durability. Also, it requires little or no surface preparation for most substrates.
You can apply 3M VHB Extrudable Tape GP in variable widths and thicknesses and even around corners without wrinkles or voids. In addition, it can provide an air- and watertight seal.
