BRADY Aggressive Adhesive 3M VHB Double-Sided Tape 1 in x 5 yd Clear

Double-sided acrylic foam tape delivering very high bond strength for permanent mounting, bonding, and sealing. This aggressive adhesive conforms to surfaces, distributes stress, and resists UV, moisture, and solvents, making it ideal for demanding indoor and outdoor applications.

Advantages

Viscoelastic acrylic foam core provides excellent conformability and stress distribution, ensuring durable bonds on metals, glass, high surface energy plastics, composites, and sealed wood. The clear tape with red liner offers easy positioning and clean appearance. With long-term temperature resistance from -40°C to 93°C and short-term up to 150°C, it performs reliably in harsh environments. Excellent UV and moisture resistance make it suitable for exterior use, while good solvent resistance extends its versatility.

Suitable for

• Permanent mounting of signs, nameplates, and trim
• Bonding dissimilar materials in automotive and industrial assembly
