VHB tapes have a highly specialized and high-performance structure obtained by curing granular adhesives under UV light. Offering a flexible structure thanks to its acrylic foam carrier, VHB tapes fill voids in rough surfaces with their flow and surface penetration properties, creating a maximum contact area and providing strong adhesion.
Thanks to their very high adhesive strength and superior heat and UV resistance, VHB tapes offer long-lasting and reliable solutions, especially in outdoor applications. These features make them a preferred alternative to mechanical bonding methods in many applications.
Application Areas
VHB tapes have a wide and indispensable range of applications in the electronics, advertising, furniture, white goods, metalworking, and automotive sectors. Thanks to their high performance, they are used safely in both industrial production processes and end-user applications.
Technical Structure and Performance Characteristics
Sio Industrial VHB tapes have an acrylic foam carrier and acrylic adhesive structure. Our standard products are offered in thickness options ranging from 0.5 mm to 3 mm. VHB tapes, with a temperature resistance between -30°C and +120°C, stand out with their high peel strength, high density, and superior heat resistance.
These tapes, which are extremely suitable for use on rough surfaces, fill surface irregularities, providing a strong and permanent assembly. As with its other product groups, Sio Industrial can produce VHB tapes with custom dimensions, thicknesses, and performance options to meet customer demands.
Advantages of VHB Tapes:
- A strong alternative to all mechanical joining methods such as rivets, screws, and welding.
- Provides long-term sealing and insulation with a single product.
- Exhibits high resistance to abrasion, corrosion, chemical effects, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions.
- Reduces total assembly weight.
- Provides vibration and sound insulation.
- Can safely join different materials.
- Offers high flexibility; can stretch up to 3-5 times its own thickness without breaking.
- Provides quick and easy assembly.
- Provides a clean and tidy working environment.
- Offers design freedom, enabling aesthetic applications.
