3M™ VHB™ Structural Cladding Tapes have been successfully used for a variety of architectural panel applications, including stiffener and panel attachment. VHB Tapes are capable of bonding panels made from ACM, stainless steel and other lightweight materials.
Structural Cladding Tape has the ability withstand wind, temperature extremes, sway and vibration – addressing both static and dynamic loads – thanks to its elastic properties, which allow it to absorb shock and deflection. Its elastic nature also gives it the ability to fill gaps and voids, not only promoting greater aesthetics and providing cleaner lines, but also preventing the ingress of dirt, cleaning chemicals and moisture.
Stiffener Attachment
VHB Tapes provide an immediate bond with high holding strength to replace spot welds, 2 part adhesives and other mechanical fasteners in stiffener attachment. VHB Tapes offer an invisible fixing solution which shows no read through on the panel therefore providing an improved aesthetic appearance.
