Industrial-grade double-sided foam adhesive tape designed for bonding low surface energy plastics without primer. Features 62 mil thickness, high initial tack at low temperatures, and superior durability across extreme environments.
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 multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive combined with a conformable foam core, delivering a total thickness of 62 mil (1.6 mm). The tape creates long-lasting, high-strength bonds without requiring primer or promoter, making it an ideal solution for applications where traditional bonding methods like welding, riveting, or mechanical fasteners are inefficient or impractical.
The LSE-160WF tape excels in joining dissimilar and delicate materials while maintaining superior performance across extreme environmental conditions. It offers exceptional versatility across multiple industries including specialty vehicles, appliances, signage, outdoor power equipment, and general industrial manufacturing. The tape's advanced closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides secure bonding that protects against water infiltration and environmental degradation. With high initial tack at low temperatures down to 32°F (0°C), this tape performs reliably in both hot and cold climates, making it suitable for applications from Dubai's heat to Canada's cold.
This conformable foam tape delivers high shear strength, excellent stress relaxation, and superior surface adhesion properties. It can replace traditional fastening methods while providing faster production times and eliminating post-assembly finishing operations. The 62 mil thickness ensures effective gap filling and stress distribution across the entire joint, creating flexible bonds that resist dynamic stresses and thermal expansion when bonding dissimilar materials. Each case contains 12 rolls, with each roll measuring 3/4 inch wide by 36 yards long, providing substantial coverage for industrial production environments.
