BRADY Ultra Aggressive Adhesive VHB Acrylic Foam Tape 12 mm x 33 m Clear

With a long-term temperature resistance up to 93°C and short-term peaks of 149°C, this VHB acrylic foam tape delivers permanent, high-strength bonding for demanding applications. The BRADY Ultra Aggressive Adhesive tape measures 12 mm wide and 33 m long, featuring a clear 1.0 mm thick acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties that conform to surfaces and dissipate stress. Ideal for transparent materials, glass, metals, many plastics, and painted surfaces, it offers excellent UV resistance and good resistance to solvents and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The red polyethylene liner ensures clean, precise application, while the recommended application temperature range of 10°C to 38°C guarantees optimal adhesion.

Overview

Engineered for permanent bonding, this ultra aggressive adhesive tape utilises Very High Bond (VHB) acrylic foam technology. Unlike traditional fasteners, it creates a seamless, high-strength bond that distributes stress evenly across the joint, reducing vibration and impact fatigue. The transparent adhesive is virtually invisible when applied to clear substrates, maintaining aesthetic integrity. With a thickness of 1.0 mm, it fills gaps and accommodates slight surface irregularities, ensuring reliable adhesion even on challenging materials. The tape is supplied on a 33-metre roll with a red polyethylene liner that protects the adhesive until application and allows for easy die-cutting or manual dispensing.
