Description
This premium high-performance clear acrylic VHB tape is a double-sided, pressure-sensitive bonding solution designed for demanding mounting and fixing applications. Manufactured from durable acrylic foam with a transparent finish, it provides a strong, long-lasting bond while maintaining a clean, discreet appearance.
Ideal for use in industrial, commercial and workshop environments, this tape is suitable for bonding metals, plastics, glass and painted surfaces in signage, point-of-sale displays, interior fittings and light assembly work. Its consistent thickness and reliable adhesion make it a practical alternative to mechanical fixings in many applications.
Product Features
- Clear acrylic VHB (very high bond) foam tape for strong, permanent bonding
- Available widths: 12 mm, 19 mm and 25 mm to suit different bonding areas
- Standard coil thickness of 0.5 mm for a low-profile, neat finish
- Supplied in 66 m coil length for extended use and reduced changeovers
- Double-sided adhesive for clean, hidden fixing without visible fasteners
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive for straightforward application by hand or roller
- Suitable for bonding a wide range of smooth, non-porous substrates
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a very high bond strength, reducing or removing the need for screws, rivets or clips.
- Clear construction helps maintain the appearance of transparent or light-coloured materials.
- Uniform 0.5 mm thickness allows good contact on slightly irregular surfaces while keeping a slim profile.
- Fast, clean application with minimal mess compared to liquid adhesives or sealants.
- Long 66 m rolls help minimise downtime and waste in production or installation settings.
- Versatile performance makes it suitable for a range of bonding, mounting and fixing tasks across multiple industries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this clear acrylic VHB tape replace mechanical fixings like screws or rivets?
In many light to medium-duty applications, this tape can replace or reduce the need for mechanical fixings, providing a strong, permanent bond. However, suitability depends on factors such as substrate type, surface preparation, load, temperature and environmental exposure. For safety-critical or heavy structural applications, mechanical fixings may still be required or recommended.
How should I prepare the surfaces before applying the tape?
Ensure all bonding surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil, grease and loose coatings. Wipe with a suitable cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry completely. Apply firm, even pressure to the tape during application to achieve full contact and maximum bond strength. Porous or very low-energy surfaces may require a suitable primer.
Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?
The clear acrylic construction typically offers good resistance to moisture and temperature variations, making it suitable for many indoor and some sheltered outdoor applications. For prolonged external exposure or harsh environments, check the performance on the specific substrates and conditions, and conduct trials where necessary to confirm long-term suitability.
