Premium industrial-grade VHB foam tape with 90 mil thickness, modified acrylic adhesive, and temperature resistance to 450°F. Ideal for bonding metals, plastics, and composites as alternative to rivets and welds.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+230GF is a premium industrial-grade double-sided foam tape engineered as a permanent bonding solution for demanding applications. This gray 90 mil (2.3 mm) thick tape features a modified acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core, providing an innovative alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws. With dimensions of 44 inches wide by 36 yards long, this single roll per case offers exceptional versatility for large-scale industrial bonding projects.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, the VHB RP+230GF delivers outstanding performance across diverse industries including transportation, appliances, electronics, construction, signage, HVAC, and general manufacturing. The tape's acrylic chemistry provides excellent temperature resistance up to 230°C (450°F) for extended periods, making it suitable for extreme environmental conditions. Its viscoelastic properties enable superior stress relaxation and vibration resistance, while the conformable foam core ensures consistent adhesion to both high and medium surface energy substrates including metals, plastics, composites, and glass.
This industrial adhesive tape eliminates the need for fixture time or cure waiting periods, providing immediate handling strength upon application. The polyethylene film liner ensures clean, easy application and removal. With a 24-month shelf life and proven reliability in applications ranging from decorative trim attachment to panel stiffening and logo bonding, the 3M VHB RP+230GF represents a trusted solution that has been serving industrial manufacturers since 3M's invention of VHB technology in 1980.
