3M VHB Tape GPH-160GF Double-Sided Foam Tape

Strong adhesive for multiple surfaces

Performance Features of 3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH-160GF

· Basic Specs: Gray, 1.6 mm (62 mil) thick double-sided acrylic foam tape with a closed-cell, conformable acrylic foam core and red PE film liner.

· Extreme Temperature Resistance:

o Short-term (up to 4 hours): 230°C (450°F)3M

o Long-term (continuous): 150°C (300°F)

o Ideal for bonding before powder coating or liquid painting (paint bake cycles).

· High Bond Strength:

o 90° peel adhesion (stainless steel): 34 N/cm (19 lb/in) (ASTM D3330, 72h @ 23°C)

o High initial tack for immediate handling strength.

· Substrate Compatibility:

o Bonds reliably to metals (steel, aluminum), ABS, PC, powder-coated surfaces, painted materials, and most medium/high surface-energy substrates.

· Design & Assembly Advantages:

o Replaces rivets, screws, welding, and liquid adhesives.

o Invisible, clean fastening (no drill holes, no weld marks).

o Enables bonding of thin, lightweight, dissimilar materials3M.

· Sealing & Durability:

o Closed-cell structure provides permanent water/moisture sealing.

o Excellent UV resistance, weatherability, and aging resistance.

· Stress & Vibration:

o Absorbs dynamic stress, dampens vibration and impact, reduces noise.

· Ease of Use:

o Pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds on contact.

o Smooth, consistent release from red PE liner
