Premium double-sided VHB tape with 62 mil acrylic foam core, paper liner, and long-term temperature resistance up to 250°F. Ideal for bonding metal panels, electronics, and industrial applications without fasteners.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+160GP is a premium double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose modified acrylic adhesive with paper liner construction. With a conformable foam core, it has a total thickness of 62 mil (1.6 mm) when applied. This tape offers an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to high and medium surface energy metals and plastics. It is compatible with various materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive technology ensures water resistance and tight sealing for long-term durability. It can withstand temperatures up to 450 °F (230 °C) for short-term use (up to four hours) and up to 250 °F (121 °C) for long-term use. These attributes make 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+160GP a reliable choice for a wide range of bonding and sealing applications, such as attaching metal panels to frames and electronic displays. The seamless joining and minimal surface preparation of this tape make it easy to use and result in smooth and aesthetically pleasing surfaces.
This versatile bonding solution is particularly suitable for bonding thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. Developed and introduced by 3M in 1980, the technology in this VHB RP+ Tape Family is engineered to promote productivity, reliability, and durability. The unique acrylic chemistry provides UV and chemical resistance that offers stable and dependable performance. Whether used for stiffener to panel applications, signage, or a range of other industrial uses, 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+160GP delivers consistent results across transportation, electronics, construction, appliance manufacturing, and maintenance and repair industries.
