3M Very High Bond (VHB) GPH Foam Tape

3M VHB GPH (General Purpose High Temperature) Foam Tape is a premium double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered to deliver strong, permanent bonds on a wide range of materials, especially in high-temperature applications. It is designed for fast, efficient assembly without the need for mechanical fasteners, providing a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing finish. 

The GPH series features a grey, conformable acrylic foam core with a high-performance, high-temperature-resistant adhesive. It bonds effectively to metals, glass, and high surface energy plastics, even in heat-intensive applications like powder-coated surfaces and metal fabrication processes.

Available in three thicknesses - GPH-060GF (0.6 mm), GPH-110GF (1.1 mm), and GPH-160GF (1.6 mm) - this tape allows flexibility in gap filling, vibration damping, and load distribution. It is particularly suited to applications that involve heat exposure either during processing or final use.

• Withstands short-term exposure up to 230°C and long-term exposure up to 150°C, making it ideal for powder coating and metal bonding before heat cycles
• Creates durable bonds to high surface energy materials like stainless steel, aluminium, and glass
• Enables faster assembly than mechanical fasteners—no drilling, screwing, or welding needed
• Provides high conformability for bonding to irregular or uneven surfaces
• Maintains high shear and peel strength, even in high humidity and outdoor conditions
• Offers versatility to accommodate specific design and load-bearing needs
• Performs reliably outdoors and in chemically demanding environments
• Replaces screws and rivets for a seamless appearance in finished products
• Easy to remove and handle during application

3M VHB GPH Foam Tape is widely used in industries such as metalworking, appliance manufacturing, and transportation, particularly where components are exposed to high heat during processing or use. It is ideal for bonding stiffeners to panels, attaching trim and nameplates to powder-coated surfaces, securing brackets or enclosures, and mounting components in HVAC systems. The tape provides strong, vibration-resistant adhesion, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use in demanding environments.

3M VHB tapes should be evaluated under actual use conditions with intended substrates to ensure tape is fit for a particular purpose and suitable for user’s method of application. This especially applies when expected use involves extreme environmental conditions or high dead load stress.
