Tapes 
Application Method
By hand, or by using 3M pull-and-cut, definite-length, or automatic dispensers.
Key Application Requirements
High-strength bond; reliable long-term performance; labor savings;
environmental safety; clean, neat appearance.
Products Replaced 
Screws, rivets, liquid adhesives. 
Benefits/Advantages To Customer
Reliable, long-term performance: Continuous contact between mated surfaces
eliminates stress points, acts as a shock absorber to protect against fatigue and
wear. VHB tape provides a good seal against environmental conditions, and
compensates for thermal expansion between bonded surfaces.
Versatility: 3M
VHB
Tape provides secure bonding between various types of
surfaces, such as metal and wood.
Quiet operation: VHB tape acts as a vibration-damper and also reduces noise,
without the need for an additional pad.
Easy installation: One-step bonding and sealing saves time. No special training
is required.
Lower materials cost: Stress is distributed over the entire bonded area,
permitting the use of lighter, thinner and less-expensive materials.
Reduced assembly cost: Drilling is reduced or eliminated. Curing liquid
adhesives is also eliminated. Time-consuming cleanup and finishing of surfaces
is reduced. Little or no special equipment is required.
Aesthetically pleasing: The tape is virtually invisible when applied between
mated parts. Tape can be applied and removed without damaging finishes.
Market: Elevator
Application Description: Bonding the upper and lower panels of elevator
