In other testing, an independent noise vibration expert found
that a trailer assembled with 3M

VHB

™

Tape was up to 41%

quieter at highway speeds and had up to 30% less vibration
than a mechanically fastened trailer.

According to horse experts, reducing noise and vibration
during transport could help reduce stress and fatigue for
horses. This means shorter recovery times before shows,
races or other events.
