Adhesive Foam Tape

Adhesive foam tape is widely used nowadays (mainly in the automotive industry) in order to distribute stress evenly and to fill gaps. This type of foam works best for bonding irregular or rough surfaces, and two of the most commonly used types of foam are urethane and polyethylene, given their numerous properties.

At the same time, it must be said that the pressure-sensitive foam tapes can come with a feature known as “triboluminescence”, which basically makes them visible in the dark as soon as they are peeled off the dispenser roll. These tapes come in a wide array of backing materials and they are coated with a special adhesive that makes them durable in the long run. Also, they are resistant to moisture levels up to 50%-60%.

The double sided foam tape has an average thickness of 0.8 cm, although it is available in thicknesses ranging from 6mm to 50mm. The tape is permanently adhesive and it can be coated either on one side or on both sides, with medium-density foam (either black or white).

One of the most notable features of the adhesive foam tape is that it is resistant to harsh weather conditions, and it can also withstand UV rays and moisture. The open-cell rolls measure 5 to 10 meters in length, depending on their area of application and width of the tape. Some
