Premium double-sided VHB adhesive tape with 90 mil acrylic foam core, offering immediate handling strength, long-term durability up to 250°F, and superior bonding for metal and plastic applications without mechanical fasteners.
3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+230GP is a premium double-sided tape engineered for industrial bonding and sealing applications. This versatile tape features a conformable acrylic foam core with a total thickness of 90 mil (2.3 mm) and is constructed with a densified kraft paper liner for optimal release and dimensional stability. The tape combines exceptional strength with viscoelasticity, offering immediate handling strength without requiring fixtures or extended cure times. It delivers an excellent balance of bonding performance across high and medium surface energy metals and plastics, including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS materials.
Designed as a superior alternative to mechanical fasteners such as rivets, welds, and screws, or traditional liquid adhesives, this tape provides smooth and seamless joining with minimal surface preparation required. The pressure-sensitive adhesive technology ensures water resistance and tight sealing for long-term durability. The tape can withstand temperatures up to 450°F (230°C) for short-term use (up to four hours) and maintains reliable performance at temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) for continuous long-term applications. Its unique acrylic chemistry provides outstanding UV and chemical resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
The 3M™ VHB™ RP+ Tape Family, developed and refined since 1980, represents cutting-edge adhesive technology engineered to promote productivity, reliability, and durability across diverse industrial sectors. This product excels in transportation, appliance manufacturing, electronics, construction, signage, HVAC systems, and general industrial maintenance and repair applications. The tape's high strength, viscoelastic acrylic foam provides unique energy absorbing and stress-relaxing properties, making it ideal for applications requiring vibration and fatigue resistance. Available in convenient 36-yard rolls with 18 rolls per case, it allows for the use of thinner, lighter-weight, and dissimilar materials compared to traditional fastening methods.
