3M – GPH-160GF – VHB – GREY FOAM TAPE

Product Details:

3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH-160 is a permanent bonding solution that can replace traditional mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives in challenging, high temperature applications. Its acrylic foam core provides a good balance of strength and conformability. 3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH-160 has excellent temperature resistance, ideal for powder coat or liquid paint processes which undergo a heat bake cycle.

Features:

• Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability
• Excellent high temperature (short term 450°F) resistance allows for bonding prior to powder coat or liquid painting processes
• Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welding, screws) or liquid adhesives
• Gray, 0.062” (1.6 mm), acrylic adhesive with a conformable, acrylic foam core.
• Eliminate drilling, grinding, refinishing, screwing, welding and clean-up
• Virtually invisible fastening helps keep surfaces smooth; no unsightly rivet heads or weld marks
• Closed-cell construction allows bonding and sealing
• Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength
• Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials

Applications:

• Assembly of components before powder coat or liquid paint processes
• High operating temperature applications
• Stiffener to panel
• Panel to frame
• Decorative material and trim
