Automation-ready pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that bonds and seals in a single application with immediate handling strength, ideal for complex contours and precision manufacturing without curing time.
3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP is an advanced automation-ready, pressure-sensitive adhesive engineered to revolutionize industrial assembly processes through consistent, repeatable, in-format dispensing. This innovative tape combines bonding and sealing capabilities in a single product, delivering a watertight seal in properly designed components while demonstrating exceptional adhesion to both metals and plastics, including high-surface-energy substrates such as stainless steel and PC/ABS, alongside strong adhesion to low-surface-energy substrates like polypropylene. The tape is specifically designed to help reduce cycle time, work-in-progress inventory, and surface-preparation requirements compared to many traditional liquid adhesives, while generating significantly less waste and requiring no curing time.
This versatile extrudable tape transforms assembly operations by unlocking design freedom through the power of precision bonding and sealing. Unlike messy liquid adhesives that are slow to cure and waste-intensive, 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP dispenses from an easily stored filament spool that eliminates liners and reduces container waste, bonding instantly with immediate handling strength to accelerate production timelines. The tape is engineered to pair seamlessly with dispensing solutions matched to your operation's precision, output, and automation requirements, including the Nordson ProBond™ Adhesive System for high-precision, high-output applications, as well as a growing network of dispensing options for semi-automated and lower-volume operations.
Ideal for complex applications requiring immediate handling strength, gap-filling capabilities, and bonding of curved surfaces and irregular shapes, this tape is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments not subject to direct UV exposure. Typical applications include appliance manufacturing, specialty vehicle assembly, HVAC systems, EV battery packs, large electronics, panels, cover housing, decorative attachments, and general bonding and sealing operations. The innovative stretch-release technology enables easier rework and helps reduce scrap during production, while the long coiled spool reduces changeover time and labor requirements.
