3M VHB Max-060GF Industrial Strength 25 mil Foam Tape Overview
3M VHB Max-060GF is a 25 mil (0.6 mm) gray double-sided acrylic foam tape engineered to replace mechanical fasteners, welds, and liquid adhesives in demanding applications. When used with 3M VHB Max Promoter, this tape delivers at least 2x higher strength than standard 3M VHB Tapes, achieving overlap shear performance up to 470 psi while maintaining long-term durability.
Built for today’s toughest designs, this tape helps manufacturers streamline production, enhance aesthetics with smooth finishes, and achieve reliable bonds across transportation, appliance, construction, and general industrial applications.
Advantages of 3M VHB Max-060GF Foam Tape
Bonding Alternative: Designed to replace rivets, welds, screws, and liquid adhesives in applications requiring extreme strength.
Superior Strength with Promoter: When paired with 3M VHB Max Promoter, delivers at least 2x higher strength than standard VHB tapes, with overlap shear up to 470 psi.
Immediate Handling Strength: Pressure-sensitive adhesive provides quick tack and allows faster assembly compared to liquid adhesives.
Do More with Less: Higher bond strength enables narrower bond lines and reduced material usage, increasing design flexibility.
Durability and Sealing: Provides long-term performance while creating a seal against water, moisture, dust, and debris.
Design Versatility: Bonds well to metals, glass, painted surfaces, and high-energy plastics for seamless finishes.
