eliminate refinishing work after spot welding and cure delay time required for
liquid adhesives, helping to increase production rates.
Improved sound characteristics: The viscoelastic properties of VHB tapes help
damp vibration between the stiffener and the skin.

finish. VHB tapes eliminate surface defects caused by spot welding and 
eliminate the ooze and mess of liquid adhesives.
Versatile: VHB tapes offer a wide selection of adhesive systems that allow
bonding of the stiffener either before or after the painting process. 3M
