Premium double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered for bonding low-surface-energy plastics without primers. Features 62 mil thickness, superior shear strength, and temperature resistance from -32°F to +300°F. Ideal replacement for rivets, welds, and mechanical fasteners in automotive, appliance, and industrial applications.
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 modified acrylic adhesive on both sides, delivering exceptional bonding performance without requiring primers or surface treatment. The tape creates long-lasting, high-strength bonds that can replace traditional mechanical fasteners like rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production times and improved aesthetics.
This versatile bonding solution excels in extreme environmental conditions, offering performance across a wide temperature range from 32°F (0°C) for low-temperature bonding to 300°F (149°C) for short-term applications and 200°F (93°C) for long-term use. The closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides excellent resistance to water, moisture, UV light, solvents, and environmental contaminants, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. With its superior shear strength, conformability, and surface adhesion properties, this tape effortlessly joins non-compatible materials and delicate substrates while maintaining structural integrity and flexibility.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-160WF comes in a convenient roll format measuring 0.5 inches wide by 36 yards long, packaged as 18 rolls per case for bulk industrial applications. This tape is widely used across multiple industries including automotive, appliance manufacturing, signage, specialty vehicles, outdoor power equipment, aerospace, electronics, construction, and general industrial applications. It provides a cost-effective, fast, and easy-to-use bonding method that eliminates additional processes and equipment while helping to lower manufacturing costs and improve operational efficiency.
