3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+230GF is a double-sided tape comprised of a multi-purpose acrylic adhesive with a conformable, foam core that delivers a total thickness of 90 mil (2.3 mm) when applied and requires no fixturing or curing time. Engineered to be strong, it can replace rivets, welds, and screws while providing faster production by eliminating the need for drilling, welding, grinding, and project cleanup. Offering seamless joining and minimal surface preparation, this easy-to-use bonding method keeps surfaces smooth and aesthetically pleasing resulting in a professional application on thin, lightweight, and dissimilar materials. The advanced closed-cell acrylic technology provides secure bonding that protects against water and seals tightly for long-term durability, performing in short-term use (up to four hours) at a temperature up to 450 °F (230 °C) or long-term use withstanding up to 250 °F (121 °C). This tape provides an excellent balance of strength, viscoelasticity, conformability, and adhesion to high and medium surface energy metals and plastics. These attributes make 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+230GF a reliable choice to take on a variety of bonding and sealing applications, including attaching metal panels to frames and electronic displays.
