Premium industrial foam tape with 16 mil thickness, modified acrylic adhesive, and superior bonding strength. Replaces rivets, welds, and screws. Temperature resistant up to 450°F. Case of 18 rolls.
The 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GF is a premium industrial-grade foam tape engineered as a permanent bonding solution for demanding applications. This gray tape features a 16 mil (0.4 mm) thickness with a conformable acrylic foam core and multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive on both sides, making it an ideal alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws. The tape delivers exceptional durability with immediate handling strength, requiring no fixture time or cure period, enabling faster assembly processes across multiple industries.
With a width of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) and length of 36 yards (32.9 meters), this product is available in cases of 18 rolls, perfect for high-volume industrial operations. The polyethylene film liner ensures easy application and clean removal. The RP+ family design specifically targets high and medium surface energy substrates including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS. This tape excels in applications ranging from transportation and appliances to construction, signage, HVAC, and general industrial maintenance.
The tape offers outstanding environmental resistance with an operating temperature range from 50°F to 450°F (10°C to 230°C), with excellent performance up to 230°C (450°F) for up to 4 hours. Its closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides superior vibration and fatigue resistance through viscoelastic properties that absorb energy and relax stress. The 24-month shelf life ensures reliable performance, while the robust bonding and sealing capabilities make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications in extreme environments. 3M's proven reliability and technical support make this tape a go-to solution for engineers and manufacturers worldwide.
