Industrial-grade double-sided foam tape for bonding low surface energy plastics without primers. 62 mil thickness, 1 inch x 36 yard rolls, 9 per case. Replaces rivets, welds and screws with superior strength and conformability.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-160WF is a premium double-sided foam tape specifically engineered for bonding low surface energy (LSE) substrates such as polypropylene (PP), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and thermoplastic olefins (TPO). This industrial-grade adhesive tape features a conformable acrylic foam core with a total thickness of 62 mil (1.6 mm) and delivers exceptional bonding performance without requiring primers or surface treatments. The tape combines a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive on both sides with a soft foam core, creating a long-lasting, high-strength bond that can replace traditional fastening methods like rivets, welds, and screws.
This versatile bonding solution offers superior performance across a wide temperature range, maintaining high initial tack at low temperatures down to 32°F (0°C) and supporting both short-term use up to 300°F (149°C) and long-term use up to 200°F (93°C). The closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides excellent environmental resistance against water, UV light, moisture, and solvents, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Each case contains 9 rolls of 1-inch width by 36-yard length tape, providing substantial coverage for industrial assembly operations.
The LSE-160WF excels in applications including panel-to-frame bonding, stiffener-to-panel assembly, nameplate attachment, decorative trim mounting, and general industrial bonding. It delivers high shear strength, exceptional conformability, and superior surface adhesion, making it a cost-effective alternative that streamlines manufacturing processes by eliminating the need for additional equipment, surface preparation, and post-assembly finishing operations. This proven bonding solution has been trusted by industries including automotive, appliance, signage, aerospace, electronics, and transportation for over four decades.
