Premium 16 mil gray double-sided VHB tape with modified acrylic adhesive, paper liner, 22 in x 36 yd roll. Provides immediate handling strength, excellent durability to 250°F, and replaces mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives for industrial bonding applications.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GP is a premium double-sided tape featuring a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with densified kraft paper liner. This industrial-grade bonding solution combines a conformable foam core with a total thickness of 16 mil (0.4 mm), offering an exceptional balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and superior adhesion to high and medium surface energy metals and plastics. The tape is specifically engineered to provide immediate handling strength without requiring fixture time or cure delays, making it an ideal alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws, as well as liquid adhesives.
The RP+040GP model delivers long-term durability with excellent performance across diverse environmental conditions. It withstands temperatures up to 450°F (230°C) for short-term use (up to four hours) and maintains reliable performance at temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for long-term continuous applications. The pressure-sensitive adhesive technology ensures water resistance and tight sealing for extended durability. Compatible with various materials including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS, this tape offers versatile bonding capabilities for demanding industrial applications.
With dimensions of 22 inches width by 36 yards length, this single roll case provides substantial coverage for large-scale bonding projects. The closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides proven resistance to extreme environments, vibration, and fatigue. The seamless joining capability and minimal surface preparation requirements make it exceptionally easy to use while delivering smooth and aesthetically pleasing results. This tape excels across transportation, appliance, electronics, construction, signage, HVAC, maintenance and repair, and general industrial markets, making it a go-to solution for professionals seeking reliable bonding and sealing performance.
