Description
3M™ VHB™ Structural Glazing Tape B23F is a fully-cured, durable high performance double-sided pressure-sensitive acrylic foam tape. It’s ideal for bonding architectural panels and glass facades. It is used to attach glass to metal frames in glass curtain wall systems replacing commonly used mechanical fasteners, gaskets, or structural silicone sealants. Application performance and test results demonstrate the outstanding durability, UV resistance, and temperature performance of 3M™ VHB™ Tape acrylic foam chemistry. This tape has a European Technical Approval – ETA-09/0024. Each 3M™ VHB™ Structural Glazing Tape application will be reviewed on a project-specific basis. Application guidelines will be based upon adhesion test results generated by 3M Technical Service. These project-specific application guidelines will be provided to the customer and must be followed during the glass bonding process. An Unconventional Foam Tape We invented 3M™ VHB™ Tapes in 1980 as the first of our kind. These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. The result is a family of extraordinarily strong tapes that adhere to a broad range of substrates. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds, and other forms of mechanical fasteners. Skyscrapers, cell phones, electronic highway signs, refrigerators, architectural windows, and more all rely on this specialty bonding tape for one or more steps in the assembly, mounting, fastening, and sealing process. This trusted and reliable tape offers a consistent bond, outstanding durability, and excellent solvent and moisture resistance. 3M stands by all of its products and is there to provide you with design guidance and technical support when you need it. Proven Reliability from 3M™ VHB™ Tapes 3M™ VHB™ Tape offers a durable bond in a way that mechanical fasteners can’t. This tape enhances the appearance of finished goods by eliminating rivets and screws while providing immediate handling strength. In most cases, fastening with 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a quicker process than drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesive. Our versatile line of tapes can be used indoors or outdoors in a variety of applications, including window, door, and sign assembly, electronics, construction, and countless other industrial applications. Chemically resistant as well as UV and temperature stable, 3M™ VHB™ Tape can withstand the heat of Dubai to the cold of Canada. The unique acrylic chemistry is extremely durable and resistant to change over time, making this a long-lasting and powerful tape you can trust.
