3M - VHB VHB LSE-060WF/ WHITE (25-mm-Roll)

3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-060WF Double-Coated Acrylic Foam Bonding Tape

Overview

3M™ VHB™ Tape LSE-060WF is a high-performance, double-coated acrylic foam tape engineered for bonding low, medium and high surface energy materials without the need for primers or adhesion promoters in many applications. Featuring a highly conformable closed-cell acrylic foam core and high initial tack, it delivers durable structural bonding for a wide range of industrial and aerospace applications. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the tape offers excellent stress relaxation, strong adhesion to difficult plastics such as polypropylene (PP), TPO and polyamide (PA), and reliable long-term performance.
