Description
This premium high-performance VHB tape is a black foam acrylic adhesive tape designed to deliver an exceptionally strong, durable bond on a wide range of surfaces. Combining robust foam construction with a high-tack acrylic adhesive, it provides a reliable alternative to mechanical fixings such as screws, rivets and welds in many applications.
Ideally suited to demanding industrial, commercial and construction environments, this high-bond tape is perfect for permanent or semi-permanent fixing of trims, panels, brackets and components. Supplied in convenient coil widths of 12 mm, 19 mm and 25 mm, with a consistent 1.1 mm thickness and 33 m length, it offers versatile options for both workshop and on-site use.
Product Features
- High-performance black foam acrylic adhesive tape for strong, permanent bonding.
- Available in three coil widths: 12 mm, 19 mm and 25 mm to suit different bonding areas.
- Uniform 1.1 mm foam thickness for excellent gap-filling and stress distribution.
- Supplied in 33 m coil lengths for extended use and reduced roll changes.
- Black closed-cell foam construction for discreet, professional-looking joints.
- Suitable for bonding to metals, plastics, painted surfaces, glass and many composites.
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive for clean, dry application without mixing, curing or clamping.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a strong, long-lasting bond that can replace or reduce the need for screws, rivets and other mechanical fixings.
- 1.1 mm foam core helps absorb vibration and thermal movement, improving durability of bonded assemblies.
- Excellent conformability allows the tape to bond well to smooth, slightly irregular or lightly textured surfaces.
- Clean, instant adhesion with no curing time helps speed up production and installation processes.
- Black colour delivers a neat, unobtrusive finish, especially on darker substrates and shadow lines.
- Supplied in multiple widths so you can select the most economical size for narrow trims or wider panels.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This high-performance foam acrylic tape is ideal wherever a clean, strong, permanent bond is required without drilling or welding.
- Fixing trims, badges, nameplates and decorative profiles to metal, plastic or painted panels.
- Mounting signs, display components and point-of-sale fixtures in retail and commercial spaces.
- Bonding panels, brackets and light fittings in vehicle, bodyshop and coachbuilding applications.
- Attaching glazing beads, stiffeners and façade elements in construction and building maintenance.
- General industrial assembly where vibration damping and thermal movement accommodation are important.
Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can this high-bond foam acrylic tape be used on?
The tape is designed for bonding to many common smooth or lightly textured surfaces, including metals, painted and powder-coated substrates, certain plastics, glass and composite materials. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil and release agents before application.
How do I choose the correct tape width for my application?
Select the narrowest width that still provides sufficient bonding area for the loads involved. The 12 mm width is ideal for slim trims and narrow profiles, 19 mm suits medium-width components and general assembly work, while 25 mm is better for wider panels or where higher bond areas are required.
Does the tape require any curing time before it reaches full strength?
The adhesive is pressure-sensitive and bonds immediately on contact when firm pressure is applied. Handling strength is achieved quickly, but bond strength will typically continue to build over the first 24 hours as the adhesive wets out the surfaces fully. Full performance is usually reached after this period under normal conditions.
