Premium 62 mil double-sided acrylic foam tape with paper liner for industrial bonding, sealing, and fastening applications with long-term temperature durability up to 250°F.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+160GP is a premium double-sided tape featuring a conformable acrylic foam core with densified kraft paper liner, delivering exceptional bonding performance for industrial applications. With a total thickness of 62 mil (1.6 mm), this tape combines modified acrylic adhesive technology with viscoelastic properties to create strong, durable bonds on high and medium surface energy substrates including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS materials. The tape provides immediate handling strength without requiring fixtures or cure time, making it an ideal alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws, or traditional liquid adhesives.
Designed for long-term durability and reliability, 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+160GP offers exceptional performance across diverse industrial markets including transportation, appliance manufacturing, electronics, construction, signage, HVAC systems, and maintenance and repair operations. The pressure-sensitive adhesive technology ensures excellent water resistance and tight sealing capabilities, with the ability to withstand temperatures up to 450°F (230°C) for short-term use (up to four hours) and up to 250°F (121°C) for long-term continuous applications. The unique closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides proven UV and chemical resistance, delivering stable and dependable performance in extreme environments.
This versatile bonding solution enables the use of thinner, lighter-weight, and dissimilar materials compared to traditional rivets and welds, while providing excellent indoor and outdoor durability. The viscoelastic acrylic foam core delivers unique energy-absorbing and stress-relaxing properties, making it vibration and fatigue resistant for demanding applications. The seamless joining capability and minimal surface preparation requirements result in smooth, aesthetically pleasing surfaces, making 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+160GP particularly suitable for bonding thin materials, lightweight components, and dissimilar material combinations in panel-to-frame assemblies, electronic display mounting, and decorative applications.
