Yes. High-strength bonding tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other forms of mechanical fasteners.

Unlike screws or rivets—which join materials at a single point—high-strength bonding tape permanently adheres one substrate to another while spreading the stress load across the entire length of the joint. Once materials are joined with 3M™ VHB™ RP tape a virtually indestructible "weld" is created.

Skyscrapers, cell phones, refrigerators … all rely on high-strength bonding tape to complete one or more steps in the assembly process. Some examples include:

  • Bonding lighweight skins to frames
  • Bonding stiffeners to panels
  • Attaching decorative materials
  • Assembling electronics
  • Attaching lenses
  • Hanging signs and letters
