Description
This premium clear acrylic VHB tape is a high-performance, double-sided bonding solution designed for permanent fixing of transparent materials. With a 2mm thick acrylic foam core and high-clarity adhesive, it provides a strong, long-lasting bond while remaining discreet in use.
Ideal for glazing, skylight installation, sign making and general construction, this tape offers an effective alternative to mechanical fixings, screws or liquid adhesives. It is supplied in convenient coil widths of 9mm, 12mm, 19mm and 25mm, all on a 16.5m roll, making it suitable for a wide range of bonding applications where a neat, virtually invisible joint is required.

- Premium clear acrylic double-sided VHB tape for high-strength bonding of transparent substrates.
- Consistent 2mm thick acrylic foam core for excellent gap filling and stress distribution.
- Available coil widths: 9mm, 12mm, 19mm and 25mm to suit narrow edges through to wider bonding areas.
- Standard coil length of 16.5m for efficient coverage on professional and maintenance jobs.
- High-clarity construction that blends with glass, clear plastics and other transparent materials.
- Designed for permanent bonding of skylights, glazing trims, panels and architectural features.
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for fast, clean and easy application without liquid glue.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a strong, permanent bond that can replace many mechanical fixings, reducing drilling and the risk of cracking delicate materials.
- Clear acrylic design delivers a discreet, professional finish on windows, skylights and clear plastic panels.
- 2mm thickness offers excellent gap filling, allowing reliable bonding on slightly uneven or irregular surfaces.
- Double-sided tape format speeds up installation, with no curing time or mess from liquid adhesives or sealants.
- Evenly distributes load and absorbs vibration, helping to protect bonded materials from stress and impact.
- Supplied in multiple widths so you can match tape size to joint width, reducing waste and improving appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this clear acrylic VHB tape replace screws or mechanical fixings?
In many applications, yes. The tape is designed for high-strength, permanent bonding and can often replace screws, clips or brackets, especially for panels, trims and glazing details. However, for structural or safety-critical joints, mechanical fixings may still be required in line with relevant standards or engineer recommendations.
Is this tape suitable for bonding skylights exposed to outdoor conditions?
The acrylic construction is designed to offer durable performance and is commonly used around skylights and glazing where it may be exposed to changes in temperature and moisture. Always ensure surfaces are clean, dry and properly prepared, and follow any specific installation guidelines for the skylight or glazing system being used.
How do I choose the correct width of tape for my application?
Select a tape width that fully covers the bonding area with a small margin if possible. Narrower widths such as 9mm and 12mm suit slim frames and trims, while 19mm and 25mm are better for wider flanges, panels and larger bonding surfaces. Using the correct width helps maximise bond strength and provides a neat finish.
