• Excellent temperature resistance (short term 450°F and long term 300°F)
• Can be bonded prior to powder coat or liquid painting processes
• Bonds to Many Substrates

CRL 3M® VHB™ GPH Tape can replace mechanical fasteners such as rivets, spot welds, screws, and liquid adhesives in challenging, high temperature applications. VHB™ GPH Tape has successfully replaced all these and other fasteners in various manufacturing uses and is ideal for permanent bonding where high temperature tolerance is needed, including applications that undergo a powder coat or liquid painting process. It bonds to many substrates, and can be used for interior or exterior industrial applications. It applies neatly and easily, conforms to irregular surfaces, and offers good gap filling and stress relaxation. Good resistance to ultraviolet light, solvents and moisture.
