An industrial-grade adhesive tape engineered to replace welding and rivets in structural metal assemblies—minimizing surface damage and distributing clamping force evenly along the bond line.
Extreme Thermal Capability
GPH and 4611 series tapes can withstand up to 230°C (short-term), supporting powder-coating oven processes without removing the tape.
W
WHO & WHERE
Ideal for machinery manufacturers, control cabinets, automotive applications, and high-strength metal assembly work.
✓Anti-Corrosion: Prevents rust at dissimilar-metal joints (galvanic corrosion).
✓Stress Distribution: Distributes stress evenly to reduce crack-prone hotspots.
✓Pre-Paint Process: 4611/GPH can be bonded before powder coating.

Engineering Excellence
Key advantages of the 3M VHB Industrial Series
01
Heat resistance up to 230°C
Ultra high heat resistance for powder coating processes and industrial curing ovens.
02
Replaces welding & rivets
Creates a clean, smooth finish without burn marks or drilled holes—reducing the risk of corrosion.
03
Bonds a wide range of materials
Strong adhesion on steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and engineering plastics—all in one solution.
04
Even stress distribution
Viscoelastic technology helps handle shear and tensile loads, reducing stress concentration on parts.
05
Corrosion protection
Acts as an insulating barrier between dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion.
06
Reduced production time & cost
Fast installation—no drying time and no grinding weld marks—boosting assembly efficiency.
3M Official Selection
3M VHB™ GPH / 4611F / 4941 / 4991
A curated set of best-selling 3M VHB models for permanent bonding across a wide range of materials—from general assembly, to thicker foam that “conforms” for a tighter fit, to high-bond industrial applications.
VHB GPH-060
Thickness 0.6 mm
Ideal for assemblies that need a balanced thickness and a clean finish. Distributes bond stress evenly, reduces vibration/noise, and can replace screws or rivets in many applications.
A versatile choice for general assembly where extra thickness helps compensate for slight surface irregularities. Provides strong bonding with a neat appearance—great for signage, trim, and industrial use.
Best for applications that need a thicker foam to “conform” and compensate for uneven surfaces. Delivers strong vibration/impact resistance for assemblies and outdoor use.
The black foam core delivers a clean, seamless look—ideal when you want the tape line to “blend” with the part, such as signage, trim, fascia/framing, and assemblies where alignment and neat edges matter.
An industry-standard model for general assemblies across many materials. Reduces drilling/riveting/welding steps, delivers a clean bond line, and improves vibration resistance for industrial applications.
Ideal when you need thicker foam to fill gaps or compensate for uneven surfaces. Helps parts conform tightly, boosts strength, and reduces vibration—great for structural assemblies, signage, and outdoor use.
