Details
Highlights
- HIGH CONFORMABILITY: Delivers greater conformability than 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP, resulting in stronger bonds to medium and high-surface-energy materials (metals, glass, wood, polycarbonate, etc.), while also working on low-surface-energy substrates (polypropylene, painted and powder-coated surfaces, etc.)
- UV RESISTANCE: Suitable for direct UV exposure, if required by the application, in both interior and exterior environments
- UNLOCK DESIGN FREEDOM: Achieve complex contours, variable bead sizes, and precise placement with a single product
- SPEED UP ASSEMBLY: Dispenses like a liquid adhesive while delivering the immediate handling strength of a traditional 3M VHB Tape
- AUTOMATION READY: Can improve consistency and quality through robotic application, helping unlock manufacturing flexibility, support throughput, and reduce reliance on operator labor
- REDUCE WORK IN-PROGRESS: Requires no curing and no fixturing, unlike many liquid adhesives — helping to shorten cycle time and accelerate downstream processing
- STREAMLINE OPERATIONS: Supplied in a long, coiled spool that can reduce changeover time and labor, requires no special storage or handling, and dispenses in-format with no liner to remove or discard — eliminating excess material typically discarded with die-cut tapes and helping to reduce residual waste and cleanup
- BOND AND SEAL: Bond and seal in a single application to help streamline production, providing a watertight seal in properly designed components
- DEBONDABLE FOR REWORK: Features innovative stretch-release technology that enables easier rework, helping to reduce scrap during production
- DISPENSING OPTIONS: Pairs with the Nordson ProBond™ Adhesive System and a growing network of dispensing options to suit the precision and volume needs of your process and application
3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape HC is an automation-ready, pressure-sensitive adhesive engineered to help streamline industrial assembly through consistent, repeatable, in-format dispensing. This tape combines bonding and sealing in one product, providing a watertight seal in properly designed components, and is UV stable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including those with direct UV exposure. It delivers greater conformability than 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP, enabling more design flexibility and stronger bonds to high and medium-surface-energy substrates, such as stainless steel and PC/ ABS, while also granting reliable adhesion to low-surface-energy substrates like polypropylene — even on slightly oily surfaces at room temperature. These characteristics are designed to help reduce cycle time, workin-progress, and surface-prep requirements compared to many liquid adhesives — with less waste and no curing. For applications requiring rework or repair, choose the innovative stretch-release technology of 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape HC for clean, debondable removal.
Transform your assembly process and unlock design freedom through the power of 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape HC. This tape taps into the trusted reliability of the 3M VHB Tape family while delivering the application flexibility of liquid adhesives. Where liquid adhesives can be messy, slow to cure, and waste-intensive, 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape HC dispenses from an easily stored filament spool that eliminates liners and reduces container waste, bonding instantly with immediate handling strength to help streamline and accelerate production. Because each manufacturing process has unique requirements, this tape is engineered to pair with dispensing solutions matched to the precision, output, and automation level of your operation. For high-precision, high-output dispensing, 3M has collaborated with the Nordson Corporation to design the Nordson ProBond™ Adhesive System — an automated solution engineered to integrate into your assembly line. For semi-automated, lower-volume operations, 3M continues to expand a growing network of dispensing options, letting manufacturers take advantage of the material's benefits regardless of production scale. The result is a versatile solution for bonding applications that can benefit from increased productivity through automation; assemblies requiring immediate handling strength; assemblies that need to fill gaps and turn corners without wrinkles or voids; curved surfaces, irregular shapes, and components with dimensional mismatch; processes looking to consolidate multiple bonding or sealing solutions into a single one; and indoor and outdoor application, including those with direct UV exposure. These applications include appliance, specialty vehicle, HVAC, EV battery, large electronics, panels, cover housing, decorative attachment, and general bonding and sealing.
