3M VHB Max-160GF 62 mil Acrylic Foam Tape for Demanding Applications
3M VHB Max-160GF is a 62 mil (1.6 mm) gray double-sided acrylic foam tape designed for assemblies that demand both thickness and strength. When used with 3M VHB Max Promoter, it achieves at least 2x the strength of standard VHB tapes, with overlap shear values up to 345 psi for reliable structural bonding.
Engineered for high-stress applications, this tape helps manufacturers reduce reliance on rivets, screws, and liquid adhesives while improving efficiency on the production line. Whether bonding exterior panels on vehicles, securing architectural facades, or assembling appliances and industrial equipment, 3M VHB Max-160GF delivers lasting durability with a clean, seamless appearance.
Why 3M VHB Max-160GF Stands Out
- Proven Strength: Delivers overlap shear values up to 345 psi with 3M VHB Max Promoter — providing at least twice the performance of standard VHB tapes.
- Thicker Profile: At 62 mil (1.6 mm), this tape supports larger, heavier components where durability is critical.
- Production Efficiency: Immediate handling strength speeds up assembly and reduces steps compared to liquid adhesives.
- Design Flexibility: Eliminates drilling, welding, and fasteners to create clean, smooth finishes with greater creative freedom.
- Broad Application Range: Bonds effectively to metals, high surface energy plastics, and coated surfaces.
- Optimized System: Designed to be paired with 3M VHB Max Promoter for maximum and consistent bond reliability.
