Premium gray double-sided foam tape with 16 mil thickness, modified acrylic adhesive, and conformable core. Ideal permanent bonding solution for transportation, appliances, electronics, and industrial applications. Temperature resistant up to 450°F with excellent vibration damping properties.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GF is a premium gray double-sided foam tape designed for permanent bonding applications across multiple industries. This innovative 16 mil (0.4 mm) thick tape features a modified acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core, providing an excellent alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws. The tape delivers immediate handling strength without requiring fixtures or curing time, making it ideal for fast assembly processes.
This versatile bonding solution excels in applications ranging from transportation and appliances to electronics, construction, and signage. The RP+ family utilizes modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable foam core, specifically engineered for superior adhesion to high and medium surface energy plastics, metals, and glass. With a maximum operating temperature of 230°C (450°F) for up to 4 hours and excellent long-term durability, this tape provides reliable performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Each case contains 9 rolls of 36 yards each, with a polyethylene film liner for easy application.
The tape's unique viscoelastic acrylic foam core provides exceptional energy-absorbing and stress-relaxing properties, making it ideal for applications requiring vibration and fatigue resistance. It offers excellent shear strength, conformability, and surface adhesion while maintaining outstanding solvent and moisture resistance. The 3M VHB™ Tape RP+040GF is engineered to withstand extreme environments from the heat of Dubai to the cold of Canada, providing consistent bonding performance across diverse climate conditions.
