Professional-grade VHB foam tape with low VOCs and odor, FDA-approved for food contact, ideal for automotive, electronics, and industrial bonding up to 250°F.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape LVO-160BF is an advanced foam adhesive tape engineered for superior bonding performance on challenging low-surface energy substrates such as polypropylene and polystyrene, as well as medium and high surface energy materials. This professional-grade tape features significantly reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and low odor emissions, meeting stringent VDA 278 and VDA 270 standards, making it ideal for industries with strict environmental and health requirements. The tape delivers exceptional adhesion strength while maintaining reliability across a wide temperature range up to 250°F (121°C), ensuring consistent performance in demanding industrial applications.
Specifically formulated for interior industrial applications, the 3M™ VHB™ Tape LVO-160BF serves as a cost-effective alternative to traditional adhesives and fasteners across automotive, electronics, food and beverage, appliance, and general manufacturing sectors. Each roll measures 1/2 inch wide by 36 yards long with a 45 mil thickness and polyethylene film liner, packaged in convenient 18-roll cases for high-volume operations. The tape is FDA-compliant for indirect food contact applications per 21 CFR 175.105, representing the first VHB™ tape in the LVO lineup to meet this critical food industry requirement.
With over 40 years of proven performance history, the VHB™ tape family has established itself as a reliable bonding solution for complex assembly challenges. The LVO-160BF combines very conformable foam technology with synthetic rubber adhesive to provide excellent substrate wetting and long-lasting bonds that withstand moisture, heat, and environmental stress. This tape simplifies bonding processes while eliminating the need for fasteners, drilling, or surface preparation, delivering significant time and labor savings without compromising bond strength or reliability.
