3M™ VHB™ Structural Glazing Tape G23F
3M™ VHB™ Structural Glazing Tape G23F is a gray, 0.090 in. (2.3 mm) multi-purpose acrylic adhesive tape with a conformable foam core and film liner. It is ideal for structural glazing. it provides virtually invisible fastening, serving as an alternative to structural silicone and spacer tapes/gaskets. It provide exceptional durability and clean removal after harsh masking applications. This tape creates a permanent seal against water and moisture, with a pressure-sensitive adhesive ensuring immediate handling strength. UL GREENGUARD and UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified, it contributes to LEED Credit. 3M™ VHB™ Tape delivers consistent bonding, durability, and resistance to environmental changes to ensuring reliable performance across various applications, both indoors and outdoors. It use in attaching glass panels to metal frames. It provide outstanding strength, conformability, and surface adhesion.
- Engineered for Structural Glazing: Specifically designed for structural glazing applications, providing a reliable and permanent bond between glass panels and metal framing systems.
- 2.3 mm Conformable Acrylic Foam Core: Features a 2.3 mm (90 mil) gray acrylic foam core that conforms to surface irregularities while delivering exceptional structural strength and stress distribution.
- High-Performance Acrylic Adhesive: Utilizes a premium acrylic adhesive that provides outstanding long term durability while maintaining excellent adhesion to aluminum, painted aluminum, glass and other medium to high surface energy materials.
- Alternative to Structural Silicone: Effectively replaces structural silicone sealants, spacer tapes, gaskets and many traditional mechanical fastening methods in glazing systems.
