3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH-160 GF
3M VHB Tape GPH 160 GF general purpose high temperature, solves the challenges of temperature resistance and multi material bonding. Applied to surfaces, never to part. GPH-160GF is a a grey, 1.6 mm thick, multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core that is also resistant to high temperature. This fast and easy to use permanent bonding method provides good strength and durability. It can replace rivets, welds and screws, and offers design flexibility with its viscoelasticity. It can bond to a variety of high and medium surface energy substrates even at lower temperatures.
3M VHB Tape GPH Series is a grey conformable double coated acrylic foam tape. 3M VHB Tape GPH Series has high temperature performance enables bonding of materials in applications with high operating temperatures such as prior to processing in a powder coating line. Further, its capability to bond to a wide variety of substrates makes it a good fit for multi material bonding. Those substrates have a high or medium surface energy including many metals (e. g. stainless steel) and plastics (e. g. Polyamide, PMMA, ABS). It is available in three different thicknesses and has a 3M branded red siliconised polyethylene film.
