Tape RP+040GF

Dream, Design, and Deliver with 3M™ VHB™ RP+040GF Tape
This 0.4 mm (16 mil) gray tape features a multipurpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable foam core. It can replace rivets, welds, and screws, offering a fast, easy-to-use, and permanent bonding method that ensures long-term strength and durability. Thanks to its viscoelasticity and excellent ability to bond various surfaces, it provides design flexibility and withstands temperatures up to 230°C (450°F) for up to 4 hours.

Effortless Permanent Bonding for Everyday Applications

Our 3M™ VHB™ RP+ Tapes consist of a durable acrylic adhesive with viscoelastic properties. This creates an exceptionally strong double-sided foam tape that bonds to a wide range of substrates, including aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, composites, plastics, acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS. These tapes provide excellent shear strength, conformability, adhesion, and temperature resistance. They are commonly used in a variety of industries, including transportation, appliances, construction, signage, display, and general manufacturing. The 3M™ VHB™ Tape reliably bonds a wide range of materials with strength and speed for permanent applications.

Dream, Design, and Deliver with the 3M™ VHB™ RP+ Family

The 3M™ VHB™ RP+ family uses a modified acrylic adhesive on both sides of a conformable adhesive foam core. The combination of strength, conformability, and adhesion makes this family one of the most versatile in the 3M™ VHB™ lineup. It is specifically designed for good adhesion to high- and medium-energy surface plastics, metals, and glass. Applications include reinforcing panels, mounting signage, and attaching decorative bars on windows.

An Unconventional Foam Tape

3M™ invented VHB™ tapes in 1980 as the first of their kind. These unique tapes combine conformability with a strong, permanent bond. The result is a family of exceptionally strong tapes that adhere to a wide range of substrates. 3M™ VHB™ Tape is a proven alternative to screws, rivets, welds, and other mechanical fasteners. Skyscrapers, mobile phones, electronic road signs, refrigerators, architectural windows, and more rely on this special adhesive tape for assembly, mounting, fastening, and sealing. This reliable tape offers consistent bonding, exceptional durability, and excellent resistance to solvents and moisture. 3M stands behind its products and provides design guidance and technical assistance whenever needed.

Proven Reliability of 3M™ VHB™ Tapes

3M™ VHB™ Tape offers durable bonding that mechanical fasteners cannot. It enhances the appearance of finished products by eliminating rivets and screws while providing immediate handling strength. In most cases, bonding with 3M™ VHB™ Tape is faster than drilling, fastening, or using liquid adhesives. Our versatile line of tapes can be used indoors or outdoors for a variety of applications, including window, door, and sign assembly, construction, and countless other industrial uses. Resistant to chemicals, UV light, and temperature extremes, 3M™ VHB™ Tape performs from the heat of Dubai to the cold of Canada. Its unique acrylic chemistry is highly durable and weather-resistant, making it a long-lasting and powerful tape you can trust.
