PE Foam Tape is one of the most popular products that have ever hit the DIY market. It can be applied both to walls and ceilings to provide maximum protection against noise and vibration. The tape can be very handy when it comes to doing DIY jobs around the house, but it can also be used for a variety of other things.
Foam Tape, also known as PE Foam Tape, is a non-slip, flexible, durable, one-sided, adhesive tape, used specifically for applying pressure-sensitive mounts, siding, and insulation to low surface energy (LSE) surfaces. Foam tape can be purchased as a backing for doors, ceilings, gaskets, and even shutters. It has numerous applications in manufacturing, home, and construction, particularly for low surface energy (LSE) resistance and soundproofing. Here are some of its most important benefits:
Low Vibration Resistance - PE Foam Tape is resistant to high speeds of vibrations which can damage and deform a substrate. It is also resistant to heat, cold, and chemicals, making it useful in applications where heat or chemicals may be a problem. It has the ability to form very thin self-adhesive sheets and has excellent dimensional stability, even under high heat and pressure. It is also resistant to tearing and warping, even when applied to an extremely soft and malleable material like PVC.
Low-Pressure Recovery - Because it has excellent dimensional stability, PE Foam Tape is able to prevent pressure-sensitive adhesives from getting caught in the folds of the tape. It also has good thermal conductivity, preventing thermal shock when the tapes are applied to an uneven or hot work surface. This is very useful for industries where there is a high degree of variation in temperatures, such as those found in food processing plants, chemical processing plants, and pharmaceuticals' packaging lines.
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) - A higher concentration of propylene glycol (PE) was used in the construction of the PE Foam Tape than was used in the manufacture of standard vinyl sheets. As a result, the tapes have excellent thermal performance, and they are also flame retardant. The thicker the sheet, the better the performance. Moreover, because the adhesive is self-adherent, the foams formed on the surface are uniform and smooth.
This article has given you some PE Foam Tape technical data and the advantages it offers. Now that you have an idea about the different types and varieties of the product, you can make better-informed choices when purchasing them. You also need to decide whether you will use it for internal or external applications.
