Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is 3M™ VHB™ GPL-110GF used for?
It is designed for permanent structural bonding in automotive, appliance, electronics, transportation, construction, signage, and industrial manufacturing applications.
How thick is GPL-110GF?
The tape has a nominal thickness of 1.10 mm (45 mil).
What materials can GPL-110GF bond?
It bonds aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized steel, glass, painted metals, ABS, acrylic, polycarbonate, and many engineering plastics.
Can GPL-110GF replace rivets and screws?
Yes. It is engineered to replace many mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives while improving appearance and reducing assembly time.
Is GPL-110GF suitable for outdoor applications?
Yes. It provides excellent resistance to UV exposure, moisture, humidity, and weathering for long-term indoor and outdoor use.
Can GPL-110GF be die-cut?
Yes. Guangdong Yousan provides precision slitting, laminating, rewinding, die-cutting, kiss-cutting, and custom converting services.
What is the difference between GPL-110GF and GPH-110GF?
GPL-110GF is designed as a general-purpose structural bonding tape with a firm acrylic foam core and excellent static shear performance. GPH-110GF uses a softer conformable acrylic foam and is optimized for high-temperature applications, including powder coating and paint-bake processes.
Do you provide OEM services?
Yes. We offer OEM packaging, custom roll widths, printed cores, precision die-cut parts, and engineering support.
