3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH-160GF, a grey, 1.6 mm thick, multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core that is also resistant to high temperature.
Common Characteristics
3M™ VHB™ tape consists of a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties. This provides an extraordinarily strong double sided foam tape that adheres to a broad range of substrates, including aluminium, stainless steel, galvanised steel, many composites and plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and painted or sealed wood. Our bonding tapes provide excellent shear strength, conformability, surface adhesion and temperature resistance. They are commonly used in applications across a variety of markets including transportation, appliance, electronics, sign and display, and general industrial. Reliably bonds a variety of materials with strength and speed for permanent applications. Recommended applications: Decorative material and trim, nameplates and logos, electronic displays, panel to frame, and stiffener to panel. Dream, design, deliver with the GPH family of 3M VHB tapes The GPH family of 3M VHB tapes utilises modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable, adhesive foam core. The unique feature combination of high temperature resistance, multi material bonding and high initial tackiness with a conformable foam core makes this family one of the most capable and well rounded 3M VHB tapes. Its high temperature performance enables bonding of materials in applications with high long term (up to +150 °C) as well as short term (up to +230 °C) operating temperatures. It is specifically designed for being capable for bonding prior to heat cured processes such as liquid or pre powder coat paint processing. It is typically used on metal substrates such as aluminium, galvanised steel and stainless steel. Applications for this tape include stiffener and panel attachment, including assembly before paint ovens as well as decorative material and trim.
