3M VHB Tape Max; Simplified Solution, Superior Bonding

With double the strength compared to standard VHB tape, the 3M VHB Tape Max can replace mechanical fastenings and liquid adhesives for greater design flexibility. Reduce material usage with thinner bond lines and less total bond area than standard acrylic foam tapes.

High strength and cost effective, the 3M VHB Max range is your new go to solution for the next generation of manufacturing.


3M VHB Tape Max; Maximise Possibilities


What is the 3M VHB Tape Max series? 


The 3M VHB Tape Max series is a high performance double sided acrylic foam tape designed to replace traditional fasteners and offer an alternative to liquid adhesives.

It is the strongest acrylic foam tape in the 3M VHB tape portfolio, offering two times greater tensile and overlap shear strength. The range is fast and easy to use, offers maximum strength, design flexibility, and long-term durability, and when used with the 3M VHB Tape Max Promoter, it delivers enhanced strength for applications previously deemed impossible.

3M VHB Tape Max 110GF


Part of the range 3M VHB Tape Max 110GF is a 1.1 mm thick double-sided acrylic foam tape. This adhesive tape creates a seal against water, moisture and debris, and offers a bond strength up to 470 psi (3.24 MPa) in overlap shear.

110GF offers immediate handling strength due to pressure sensitive adhesion for faster assembly and processing times.

Used with the 3M VHB Tape Max Promoter, this tape will bond to a variety of common high and medium surface energy materials including metals, glass and a range of paints and plastics.

3M 110GF Properties:

  • Adhesive type: acrylic
  • Backing (carrier) material: acrylic foam
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
  • Liner material: polyethylene film
  • Colour: grey

Why do you need to use a promoter?


The VHB Tape Max range and VHB Max promoter are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with one another to amplify bond strength.

The adhesion promoter must be applied to each bonding surface to ensure a strong bond between tape and substrate. It can be applied with a wetted towel, dauber bottle, brush, or swab, to ensure targeted coverage without wastage.

3M VHB Tape Max Promoter Properties:

  • Adhesive type: acrylic/polyamide
  • Composition: solvent based
  • Consistency: liquid

Where can you use the 3M VHB Max bonding system?


This pairing can be used across industries from manufacturing box trucks to appliance assembly and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Potential applications include: 

  • Decorative appliance trim attachment
  • Kick plate bonding
  • Bus body side panel bonding
  • Channel stiffener bonding on truck bodies
  • Nameplate attachment
