High-performance double-sided acrylic foam tape delivering 470 psi bond strength, designed to replace mechanical fasteners and welding with immediate handling strength and superior durability for industrial bonding applications.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape Max-160GF is a high-performance, double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered to replace traditional mechanical fasteners, welding, and liquid adhesives in demanding industrial applications. This premium bonding solution delivers exceptional bond strength up to 470 psi (3.24 MPa) in overlap shear, significantly surpassing standard VHB tape performance. With immediate handling strength, this tape enables faster assembly and processing times, making it ideal for complex bonding tasks while reducing production costs through elimination of drilling, welding, and cleanup operations.
The Max-160GF features a 1.6mm (62 mil) firm acrylic foam construction with polyethylene film liner, offering versatile adhesion to a wide range of materials including metals and high surface energy substrates. This creates smooth, seamless finishes for enhanced aesthetics and structural integrity. The tape is specifically designed for semi-structural bonding applications across transportation, building construction, appliance, and general industrial markets. Available in a convenient 9 roll case with 36-yard rolls, each roll measures 1 inch wide and maintains a 24-month shelf life.
Perfect for applications including panel-to-frame bonding, stiffener attachment, composite material bonding, and vibration-resistant assemblies, the Max-160GF tape works optimally when paired with 3M™ VHB™ Tape Max Promoter to achieve superior bond strength across diverse surfaces and environmental conditions. This innovative tape represents the strongest acrylic foam tape in the 3M VHB portfolio, backed by decades of 3M tape technology expertise.
