3M™ VHB™ Tapes have been successfully used for a variety of architectural panel applications, including stiffener and panel attachment. 3M™ VHB™ Tapes are capable of bonding panels made from ACM, stainless steel and exotic metals. A design guide and technical information on performance testing completed at Construction Research Laboratory (Miami, FL) is available.
Applications for Architectural Panel
Stiffener Attachment 3M™ VHB™ Tapes bond with high holding strength to replace silicone adhesives, stud bolts and other mechanical fasteners in stiffener attachment. 3M™ VHB™ Tapes not only meet the performance requirements, but also offer potential labor savings which may reduce your total stiffener assembly costs.
Panels to Frame 3M™ VHB™ Tapes offer elastic properties that absorb shock and flex for reliability against wind, vibration and thermal expansion/contraction.
Cladding (Decorative Metal, Trim, etc.) 3M™ VHB™ Tapes expand the range of design and material options by joining dissimilar materials: 3M™ VHB™ Tape prevents bi-metallic corrosion. 3M™ VHB™ Tapes allows a greater range of material selection including the use of lighter weight and thinner substrates that cannot be fastened with conventional fasteners.
