Polyethylene foam tape is a versatile material that combines a conformable closed-cell foam with a rubber-based adhesive. Its combination of strength and flexibility makes it an ideal cushioning agent for a variety of packaging applications. Available in white and black, it offers a strong initial bond to a wide range of surfaces. In addition, it is available in custom fabricated sizes to meet the specific needs of the application.
The PE version of polyethylene foam insulation tape prevents condensation and sweating on air conditioning, refrigeration, and steam lines. It uses a closed cell construction and a special adhesive that incorporates a built-in "skrim" for added strength. It can be overlapped and butted to achieve the desired thickness, and it can be used to wrap piping and fittings. Since the tape's adhesive is pressure sensitive, it adheres to metal surfaces firmly.
Polyethylene foam tape has many uses in the construction, automotive, and electrical industries. It is often used in place of mechanical fasteners for insulation purposes. It is also used to seal windows, doors, sunroofs, and trunks.
The double-coated polyethylene foam tape combines a conformable closed-cell foam with a rubber adhesive. This double coating provides high initial adhesion, and it conforms to irregular surfaces. The tape is available in both white and black. The is an excellent option for a variety of indoor applications. The tape is also good for decorative trim and nameplates.
PE foam tape is an excellent insulator and carrier. It works well on various substrates, such as wood and metal. It can fill gaps in irregular surfaces and dampen vibrations and distribute stress. The flexible material is also ideal for sound attenuation. It can be used in spacer applications and as a lightweight shim.
Another important use for polyethylene foam tape is in packaging. It is lightweight, flexible, and can be custom laminated with a wide range of colors. It is also highly dimensionally stable, and it provides excellent cushioning protection. Polyethylene foam also has excellent recovery characteristics, making it a good choice for cushion packaging.
