3M™ VHB™ Tape GPH is an excellent choice for attaching stiffeners to plate aluminum and steel panels prior to high heat powder coat or liquid paint processes. The foam core is conformable for easy application on rough surfaces while the tough acrylic adhesive provides immediate strength. These tapes can enhance the finished appearance by eliminating screws, rivets and weld distortion.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive properties are frequency and temperature sensitive. 3M has developed Material Data Cards (MDCs) for common 3M PSAs for use with many commercially available FEA software applications. Learn more.
