RFQ for Acrylic foam tape

What is Vhb Tape?

Double Sided Acrylic Foam Tape is a high-performance Adhesive Tape featuring a flexible acrylic foam core. Available in various colors and thicknesses, it provides strong, durable bonding to surfaces like metals, glass, and plastics. The tape offers superior conformability and shock absorption, making it ideal for uneven surfaces and applications requiring high shear strength. It is resistant to UV light, moisture, and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Common uses include automotive trim attachment, signage mounting, and securing panels in construction.

Is this tape removable?

This tape is designed to bond permanently, so once it has been applied, it’s not easy to remove. But you can use WD-40, Goo Gone or a simple mixture of water and lemon oil to remove residue.

Why is difficult to remove the red protective film?

This is determined by the raw material and production process. We have provided you with a peeling tool to make it easier for you to remove the back film.

Why is the tape not as sticky as you advertised?

The adhesive strength of the tape is related to these factors: surface, pressure, time, and temperature. For maximum bonding strength, please follow the recommendations below:

1. Clean the surface before applying and make sure that the mounting surface is clean, dry, smooth and free of oil.

2. Apply some pressure to the tape before peeling off the red backing, and apply final pressure to the mounting object after mounting is complete to create a strong, permanent bond.

3. For maximum bonding strength, please do not hang heavy objects immediately after tape application and be patient for another 72 hours.

4. Ideal tape application is accomplished when temperature is between 70° F and 100°F (21°C and 38°C). Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below 50°F (10°C) is not recommended.

Why does the tape not smell very good?

The tapes are made up of raw materials such as modified acrylics, and these materials can produce some unique smells when mixed. But please don't worry, they are absolutely safe for the body. You can store the tapes in a ventilated area to reduce this smell.

What Are VHB Tapes Used For?

VHB Tapes are double-sided foam tapes that can contour to the shape of an object and seal for the long term. Made from high-performance acrylic adhesives, VHB tapes are often easy to work with and built to last.

Numerous types of VHB tapes are available to support each industry. For instance, automotive manufacturers use VHB adhesives for applications ranging from sealing to trim attachment to assembling the touchscreen displays.

There are VHB tapes designed for high- or low-temperature situations and tapes intended for weatherproofing or waterproofing. Other VHB tapes are designed to pass significant strength tests, in which some tapes show 90% of their strength within seconds of application, while others increase their strength over 72 hours.
