3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP, Black, 8.5 mm x 298 m, 1/Case

3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP is a high strength pressure-sensitive adhesive that provides immediate handling strength, fast and easy application, and delivers the durability that customers require. This bonding solution, tailor-made for automation, reimagines tape, providing a faster, simplified, more sustainable solution for manufacturing processes. It provides excellent adhesion to many substrates – in some cases with little or no surface preparation – and has a stretch release feature that allows clean adhesive removal.

3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP is an extrudable high strength pressure-sensitive adhesive that requires little or no surface preparation for some substrates and offers immediate handling strength. This versatile material can be applied in variable widths and thicknesses and even around corners without wrinkles or gaps, and can provide an air- and watertight seal if desired. The hot bond line can be closed immediately with a second substrate, or a liner can be applied and the second substrate can be added to the cooled tape later. A stretch release feature allows the tape to be removed cleanly from a part by pulling parallel to the surface so the part can be reprocessed with minimal waste. 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP offers excellent adhesion to metals, glass, rubber, low surface energy (LSE) plastics, woven and non-woven textiles, and hard-to-bond materials, including slightly oily surfaces. This material has no special storage or curing requirements. 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP unites the best qualities of 3M’s VHB™ Tapes with the versatility of liquid adhesives, without any of their historic drawbacks. While liquid adhesives offer excellent versatility in terms of where and how they are applied, they can be messy, difficult to handle, increase waste, and require longer curing times – all factors that increase manufacturing time and overall costs. In contrast, 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP is dispensed from an easily stored filament spool eliminating liners and container waste. 3M’s On Demand Bonding System (designed in collaboration with Nordson Corporation) allows 3M™ VHB™ Extrudable Tape GP to dispense practically anywhere. The material bonds instantly with immediate handling strength, which significantly streamlines, simplifies, and speeds up production operations.
