    Provides Undeniable Structural Strength

    3M™ VHB™ Tape outperforms and outlasts mechanical fasteners and provides a cleaner and more durable design. The tape gets its extreme strength and durability from the way it's built. It consists of a viscoelastic acrylic adhesive which has the properties of behaving like a viscous liquid and an elastic solid. It distributes loads over a wider area, balances different levels of expansion and contraction between substrates, and is good at absorbing dynamic load levels.
