Industrial-grade double-sided VHB tape with 16 mil thickness, modified acrylic adhesive, and paper liner. Provides immediate handling strength for bonding metals and plastics without fasteners. Temperature rated to 450°F short-term and 250°F long-term. Case of 9 rolls, 1 inch x 36 yards each.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GP is a premium double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with a densified kraft paper liner. Featuring a conformable foam core with a total thickness of 16 mil (0.4 mm), this industrial-grade bonding solution offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and superior adhesion to both high and medium surface energy metals and plastics. The pressure-sensitive adhesive technology ensures exceptional water resistance and tight sealing for long-term durability, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable, permanent bonds.
This versatile tape is compatible with a wide range of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS plastics. It delivers immediate handling strength without requiring fixtures or curing time, making it a fast and efficient alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws, or traditional liquid adhesives. The tape can withstand temperatures up to 450°F (230°C) for short-term use (up to four hours) and maintains performance at temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for long-term continuous applications.
Each case contains 9 rolls, with each roll measuring 1 inch wide by 36 yards long on a 3-inch core. The paper liner construction offers easier release and dimensional stability for more efficient converting operations. The unique acrylic chemistry provides excellent UV and chemical resistance, offering stable and dependable performance across diverse industrial environments. This tape excels in applications such as bonding metal panels to frames, electronic display attachment, appliance manufacturing, signage applications, transportation assembly, HVAC systems, and general maintenance and repair operations.
