3M™ VHB™ GPH-110GF is a thick gray double-sided acrylic foam tape with a red polyethylene film liner. The conformable foam provides good contact between substrates even when they are slightly mismatched. 3M™ VHB™ GPH-110GF tape is part of the 3M™ VHB™ GPH series tapes which bonds a variety of substrates including many metal, plastic and painted materials. This tape family has superior high-temperature performance, making it often suitable for assembly prior to powder coat or liquid paint processes involving a paint bake cycle and applications with high operating temperatures. Ideal for stiffeners applied to equipment enclosures, metal cabinets, appliance, signage etc.
FEATURES
- Fast and easy-to-use permanent bonding method provides high strength and long-term durability
- Virtually invisible fastening keeps surfaces smooth
- Can replace mechanical fasteners (rivets, welds, screws) or liquid adhesives
- High temperature resistance (short term (minutes, hours) to 450°F (230°C)) allowing assembly prior to powder coat or liquid paint processes involving a paint-bake cycle
- High initial tack
- Eliminates drilling, grinding, renishing, screwing, welding and associated re-work
- Creates a permanent seal against water, moisture and more
- Pressure sensitive adhesive bonds on contact to provide immediate handling strength
- Allows the use of thinner, lighter weight and dissimilar materials
APPLICATIONS
- Assembly of components before powder coat or liquid paint processes
- High operating temperature applications
- Stiffener to panel
- Panel to frame
- Decorative material and trim
