Reducing weight, absorbing vibrations, simplifying assembly: the 3M VHB Max provides a technical response to the structural challenges facing industry, construction and transport.
Le VHB Max represents a new generation of structural adhesive tapes for critical industrial applications.
As a 3M Preferred Converter, ADDEV Materials can help you integrate VHB Max into the heart of your industrial projects, from technical validation to custom cutting.
It is not a replacement for the traditional VHB range: it is an evolution designed for applications subject to more severe constraints.
Here's a comparison between the old and new generations:
3M VHB Max | 3M VHB Standard | |
Peel adhesion (90°C) | 92 N/cm | 39 N/cm |
Normal traction | 1.9 MPa | 0.48 MPa |
Shear strength | 2.7 MPa | 0.55 MPa |
Short-term thermal resistance | 180 °C | 149 °C |
Long-term thermal resistance | 121 °C | 93 °C |
Foam density | 850 kg/m3 | 590 kg/m3 |
The elimination of mechanical fasteners reduces overall weight, which is particularly strategic for transport and mobility.
This acrylic foam absorbs vibratory stresses and improves fatigue resistance.
It retains its mechanical properties under high temperatures and repeated thermal cycles.
Assembly of metal panels
Fixing aluminium profiles
Integration of structural components
Replacement of mechanical fasteners subject to vibration
In these applications, VHB Max improves durability and reduces the need for maintenance.
Fixing façade panels
Bonding secondary structures
