PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is 3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GF used for?

    3M™ VHB™ Tape RP+040GF is a multi-purpose, gray, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that securely bonds a variety of substrates such as metals, plastics and glass.

  2. Can I use this tape outdoors?

    Yes! This tape has excellent weatherability and will remain holding strong in temperatures ranging from -40°F/-40°C to 200°F/93°C.

  3. How do I apply the tape?

    The bonding surfaces should be clean, dry and well-ventilated before applying the tape. Apply firm pressure along the entire length of the strip after positioning it on your surface. Full bond strength is achieved once maximum bond strength develops between both substrates - usually within 72 hours at room temperature.
