Scotch brand VHB (Very High Bond) tapes sales in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region have shown consistent volume growth of almost 40 percent over the past five years. The range has increased from five variants to 20 different tapes to best suit our customers' need in the GCC, according to a 3M Gulf press release.  

 

"From the thousands of applications in the Gulf region, our highest profiles were the Burj Al-Arab Hotel, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the Emirates Training Center and the Aviation Club in Dubai, Faisaliyah Towers in Riyadh and the headquarters building of National Bank of Dubai," said Peter Lomax, sales and marketing manager at 3M Gulf’s industrial department.  

 

High-strength Scotch VHB tapes are used throughout industry today to replace screws, rivets, welding, liquid adhesives and other permanent assembly methods. They are virtually invisible when applied to join mated parts leaving surfaces smooth and clean. — (menareport.com)
