Premium industrial foam tape with 16 mil thickness, 44in x 36yd roll, conformable acrylic core, temperature resistant to 230°C, ideal for replacing rivets and welds across multiple industries.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GF is a premium industrial-grade double-sided foam tape engineered for permanent bonding applications across multiple industries. This gray tape features a 16 mil (0.4 mm) thickness with a conformable acrylic foam core and multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive, providing immediate handling strength without requiring fixtures or cure time. The tape comes in a 44-inch width by 36-yard length roll with polyethylene film liner, delivering 1 roll per case for convenient industrial use.
Designed as a superior alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws, this VHB tape combines exceptional bonding performance with design flexibility. It delivers high shear strength, excellent conformability, and superior surface adhesion to both High Surface Energy (HSE) and Medium Surface Energy (MSE) materials including metals, plastics, glass, composites, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS. The tape's viscoelastic properties provide unique energy-absorbing and stress-relaxing characteristics, making it ideal for vibration and fatigue-resistant applications.
With outstanding durability for both indoor and outdoor applications, the RP+040GF maintains reliable performance at temperatures up to 230°C (450°F) for extended periods and up to 250°F (121°C) for continuous operation. The closed-cell acrylic chemistry ensures excellent resistance to extreme environments, moisture, solvents, and UV exposure. This proven tape is widely used in transportation, appliance manufacturing, electronics, construction, signage, HVAC, and general industrial maintenance and repair applications, offering a fast, efficient, and aesthetically superior bonding solution.
