Automotive Evolution: VHB Tape Solutions Transforming Interior Assembly 🔄
The automotive industry is rapidly adopting VHB (Very High Bonding) tapes to replace traditional mechanical clips for interior trim attachment, enabling cleaner designs, weight reduction, and enhanced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) performance.
📊 Mechanical Clip vs VHB Tape Comparison
| Performance Metric | Mechanical Clips | VHB Tapes | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight per vehicle | 2.5-4.0 kg | 0.8-1.5 kg | 50-70% reduction |
| Installation Time | 45-60 minutes | 15-25 minutes | 60-70% faster |
| NVH Performance | Moderate | Excellent | 40-60% better |
| Aesthetic Quality | Clip holes visible | Clean, seamless | Perfect surface |
