Premium double-sided acrylic foam tape with 90 mil thickness, densified kraft paper liner, and immediate handling strength. Ideal for bonding metals and plastics in transportation, appliance, electronics, and construction industries. Temperature resistant to 250°F long-term.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+230GP is a premium double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with densified kraft paper liner. This industrial-grade bonding solution features a conformable foam core with a total thickness of 90 mil (2.3 mm) when applied, offering an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to high and medium surface energy metals and plastics. The tape is compatible with various materials including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS, making it an ideal choice for diverse manufacturing applications.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive technology ensures water resistance and tight sealing for long-term durability, with the ability to withstand temperatures up to 450°F (230°C) for short-term use (up to four hours) and 250°F (121°C) for long-term continuous use. This tape provides a fast and easy-to-use all-acrylic bonding method that delivers immediate handling strength without the need for fixtures or cure time. The seamless joining and minimal surface preparation requirements make it particularly suitable for bonding thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials, replacing traditional mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws.
Developed and introduced by 3M in 1980, the VHB™ RP+ Tape Family technology is engineered to promote productivity, reliability, and durability across multiple industries including transportation, appliance manufacturing, electronics, construction, signage, HVAC, and general industrial applications. The unique acrylic chemistry provides UV and chemical resistance that offers stable and dependable performance. With its 44-inch width and 36-yard length on a single roll, this tape is designed for high-volume industrial converting and manufacturing operations requiring consistent, reliable bonding solutions.
