Industrial-grade double-sided foam tape with 470 psi bond strength, ideal for replacing fasteners and welding in demanding applications
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape Max-230GF 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 significantly stronger than standard VHB tapes. The tape features a 2.3mm thickness with polyethylene film liner, gray color, and comes in 1-inch width by 36-yard length rolls, packaged as 9 rolls per case for convenient bulk purchasing.
Designed for versatility across multiple industries including transportation, building construction, appliances, and general industrial markets, this tape excels in bonding panels to metal frames, attaching stiffeners, and other critical structural applications. The immediate handling strength allows for faster assembly and processing times compared to traditional liquid adhesives, while the viscoelastic acrylic adhesive provides excellent adhesion to a wide range of materials including metals and high surface energy substrates. The firm foam core ensures reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments.
When paired with 3M™ VHB™ Tape Max Promoter, this tape achieves optimal bond strength across various surfaces and environmental conditions. With a 24-month shelf life and available in multiple thickness options (0.6mm, 1.1mm, 1.6mm, and 2.3mm), the Max-230GF offers design flexibility while reducing material usage through narrower bond lines. This innovative tape technology streamlines production by eliminating drilling, welding, and subsequent cleanup, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking robust, long-lasting bonds with enhanced aesthetics and simplified assembly processes.
