Industrial-grade double-sided VHB tape with 16 mil thickness, modified acrylic adhesive, paper liner, and exceptional bonding strength for metal and plastic applications. Offers immediate handling, temperature resistance to 450°F, and seamless joining without mechanical fasteners.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GP is a premium double-sided tape engineered with a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive and densified kraft paper liner, delivering exceptional bonding performance for industrial applications. This conformable foam-core tape features a 16 mil (0.4 mm) thickness and combines immediate handling strength with long-term durability, eliminating the need for traditional mechanical fasteners like rivets, welds, and screws. The tape's closed-cell acrylic chemistry provides superior water resistance and tight sealing capabilities, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use across diverse industries including transportation, appliances, electronics, construction, and signage.
Designed as a versatile bonding solution, the 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GP excels in adhering to high surface energy (HSE) and medium surface energy (MSE) metals and plastics with minimal surface preparation required. Compatible with aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS materials, this tape offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, and conformability. Its unique energy-absorbing and stress-relaxing properties provide vibration and fatigue resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications involving thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials.
With a maximum short-term temperature rating of 450°F (230°C) for up to four hours and long-term operating temperatures up to 250°F (121°C), the 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GP delivers reliable performance in extreme environments. Each case contains 9 rolls of 36-yard length tape on a 3-inch core, providing 324 total yards of premium bonding solution. The tape's seamless joining capability and minimal surface preparation requirements result in smooth, aesthetically pleasing surfaces while promoting productivity and reliability across manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations.
