About 3M-B23F-VHB Black Tape
Dream, Design, Deliver with 3M VHB Structural Glazing Tape B23F. It is a black, 0.090 in. (2.3 mm), multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core and film liner. It is commonly used for structural glazing. The fast and easy to use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability.
Convenience Meets Extreme Bonding Power
Our 3M VHB Tape consists of a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties. This provides an extraordinarily strong double sided foam tape that adheres to a range of substrates, including aluminum, painted aluminum and glass. Our bonding tapes provide excellent strength, conformability, surface adhesion and temperature resistance. The 3M VHB Structural Glazing Tape family is used to attach glass panels to metal frames in curtain wall systems, commercial windows and doors, skylight and canopy systems replacing commonly used mechanical fasteners, gaskets and structural silicone sealants.
Recommended Application
- Attach glass panels to metal frames (structural glazing)
Dream, Design, Deliver with the 3M VHB Structural Glazing Tape Family3M VHB Structural Glazing Tapes utilize multi-purpose acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable, foam core. They are specifically designed for good adhesion to aluminum, painted aluminum, glass and other medium to high surface energy materials. Applications for these tapes include glazing and as an alternative to structural silicone and spacer tapes/gaskets.
