Can acrylic foam tape replace mechanical fastener in the production?

The answer is definitely yes. Acrylic Foam Tape, also known as VHB, is a range of permanent high strength bonding adhesives suitable for metals, plastics, glass, composites and ceramics, Acrylic adhesive tape is made of solvent acrylic foam and laminated with the paper release liner or film release liner.  So it is a proven alternative to the mechanical fastener.

Acrylic foam tape is designed to provide very high bond strength on a variety of substrates, Used to replace mechanical fasteners in the appliance, automotive, sign, graphics, glass curtain wall attachment and other manufacturing applications.

Automotive exterior trim such as body side moldings, fascia, rocker panels, molding inserts, emblems and a variety of other automotive trim parts.

Mounting accessories of automobile, Glass curtain wall systems, ACP cladding, Clean room systems and other application where needed high adhesion and need to replace the screws and rivets;

Assembly of signs and displays, mounting of trims, fixings, badges and vehicle panels and accessories

Acrylic foam (VHB) tape has the following features,

Good combination of flexibility and conformability with strength & wear resistance;

Waterproof, shock absorption, sound insulation,

Excellent weather resistance and chemical resistance;

Ease to die-cutting;

High shear strength gives high load bearing ability

High performance for heat resistance;

High holding power

So from technical analysis and features and application of acrylic foam tape, it can replace the mechanical fastener in the production.
