Premium high-performance double-sided acrylic foam tape with 470 psi bond strength, designed to replace mechanical fasteners and welding in industrial applications. Features immediate handling strength, versatile substrate compatibility, and comes in convenient 12 roll cases.
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 of up to 470 psi (3.24 MPa) in overlap shear, making it the strongest acrylic foam tape in the 3M™ VHB™ Tape portfolio. The tape features a 1.6mm firm foam construction with a polyethylene film liner, measuring 0.75 inches wide by 36 yards long, and is packaged in convenient 12 roll cases for industrial use.
Designed for versatility and performance, this tape offers excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials including metals and high surface energy substrates, creating smooth and seamless finishes for enhanced aesthetics. The Max-160GF provides immediate handling strength that allows for faster assembly and processing times compared to traditional liquid adhesives, while eliminating the need for drilling, welding, and subsequent cleanup. Its viscoelastic properties and innovative acrylic technology make it ideal for critical bonding applications across transportation, building construction, appliance, and general industrial markets.
For optimal performance across various substrates and environmental conditions, the 3M™ VHB™ Tape Max-160GF is designed to be used with 3M™ VHB™ Tape Max Promoter. The tape offers greater design flexibility and may reduce material usage by using narrower bond lines and less total bond area. With a 24-month shelf life and available in multiple thickness options (0.6mm, 1.1mm, 1.6mm, and 2.3mm), this tape series represents the pinnacle of 3M's tape technology innovation and provides legacy-backed reliability for demanding bonding and sealing tasks.
