3M™ VHB™ General Purpose High Temperature 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™ General Purpose High Temperature Tape GPH-160 has excellent temperature resistance, ideal for powder coat or liquid paint processes which undergo a heat bake cycle.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 aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, and painted or sealed wood and concrete. 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, construction, sign and display, and general industrial. Reliably bonds a variety of materials with strength and speed for permanent applications. 3M VHB Tape GPH family offers high temperature resistance (short term 450 F or 232 C) allows it to be bonded prior to powder coat or liquid painting processes. This reduces the number of leading to a more streamlined manufacturing process. The GPH family offers the speed and ease assembly found in 3M VHB Tape, even in applications involving high operating temperatures (long term resistance 300 F or 149 C).
