Polyethylene foam tape is used in many applications requiring thermal insulation, shock absorption, cushioning, dampening, or barrier properties. It is a strong, resilient closed-cell foam with excellent buoyancy properties which make it an ideal material for cushioning products in packaging solutions.
PE foam tapes are available in a wide variety of thicknesses, widths, and densities. They are also available with different adhesives and release liners to meet your needs.
Double coated foam tapes combine a rubber-based adhesive with a conformable closed-cell foam. The rubber-based adhesive provides a good initial bond to a variety of surfaces while the foam helps fill gaps and distributes stress uniformly over the bonded area.
This black or white polyethylene foam tape is used for mounting nameplates, signs, small die-cast parts, mirrors, and maps. It is also used for sound and vibration dampening in business machines, industrial equipment, electronic component packaging, and glass panel mounts, seals, and gaskets.
The double-coated, pressure-sensitive adhesive system of this product provides quick stick even to low surface energy (LSE) surfaces. It is also compatible with most textured and irregular surfaces. It offers good resistance to mild acids, oils, and greases.
It also has superior conformability and compressibility that allows it to be bonded to irregular and textured surfaces. It is an economical choice for sealing and gasket applications where moisture seal or chemical resistance is required.
In addition, this polyethylene foam tape is suited for general-purpose mounting and joining applications involving irregular surfaces such as signs, nameplates, plaques, point-of-purchase displays, plastic hooks, racks, and dispensers. It is also a suitable mounting solution for wire and cable mounts.
This polyethylene foam tape is a great alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners such as screws, bolts, and studs. It can be easily applied by hand or with a dispensing unit and leaves no puncture holes to allow for a smooth, secure bond without damaging the surface to which it is applied.
Foam tapes are a versatile solution for joining, mounting, and sealing applications where high initial adhesion is needed and moderate temperature and shear performance are desired. They offer a unique rubber-based adhesive system that is designed for more difficult-to-bond surfaces such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and a variety of other plastics.
These foam tapes are primarily used for indoor general-purpose mounting and joining applications, including bonding to polyethylene, polypropylene, and many other plastics where moderate temperature and shear performance are required. They are also an excellent option for sealing window glazing applications.
Depending on your application, the single-sided foam tapes are available with either a rubber-based or acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive to meet your specific requirements. These tapes are self-wound thick tapes with a cross-linked polyethylene foam backing and come in a variety of thicknesses and sizes. That can be die-cut to fit any shape or size. It also resists chemicals and has very good UV resistance, making it an ideal solution for outdoor or indoor applications where a seal is required.
