Yes. High-strength bonding tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners.
Unlike screws or rivets – which join materials at a single point – high-strength bonding tape permanently adheres one substrate to another while spreading the stress load across the entire length of the joint. Once materials are joined with 3M™ VHB™Tape a virtually indestructible “weld” is created.
Skyscrapers, cell phones, refrigerators … all rely on high-strength bonding tape to complete one or more steps in the assembly process.
Extraordinary strength, conformability, versatility and UV- and weather-resistance makes 3M™ VHB™ Tape great for bonding:
• Glass • Painted surfaces
• Metal • Painted/sealed wood & concrete
• Plastics • Outdoor & harsh environmental applications
• Many more!
