What is 3mgpl160?
3mgpl160 is a vhb double-sided adhesive tape from 3M with a 1.6mm thick grey acrylic foam core. It is designed to provide strong, long-lasting adhesion across various surfaces and materials, even in challenging environments. The tape performs reliably in both high and low temperatures and can be applied to frost-free surfaces at 0°C.
Composition and Structure
