In industry, adhesive tape products are used for all sorts of operations, from packaging to electrical wire insulating, to weather-stripping. Double-sided, foil/high temp, and foam tapes are three of the most popular tape variants. Each type of tape is ideal for specific applications. Different sizes and styles can be purchased from knowledgeable, well-stocked suppliers. Expert converters and fabricators can customize tape products to suit your needs – ensuring your money is well spent on the right adhesive materials.
Double-Sided Adhesives
The double-sided tape is a pressure-sensitive, double-coated tape that’s typically used for bonding, assembly, and mounting applications. Usually, it’s made from tough, flexible materials, such as rubber, polyester, and acrylic. Like other forms of tape, double-sided comes in a variety of sizes, including 2, 3, 4, and 5 millimeters. Double-sided tape forms strong, lasting bonds between all sorts of surfaces. It easily sticks to metal, wood, plastic, glass, and other materials. In addition to being a sturdy, go-to tape, the double-sided adhesive is ideal for decorative applications because it’s usually hidden between the surfaces it bonds.
High Temp Electrical Tapes
Foil and high-temperature tapes are used primarily for electrical applications, such as wire bundling, coil covering, shielding, and more. High temp tapes are made from conductive materials, such as aluminum foil and tin-clad copper wire. The adhesives of foil and high-temperature tapes come in various forms and include acrylic, rubber, and silicone. Essentially, electrical tapes are designed to provide the insulation, isolation, and protection other styles of tape can’t. Quality electrical tapes are flame and spark resistant and offer much-needed flexibility, sturdiness, and resilience.
Foam Sealing Tapes
Due to its texture and composition, foam tape is most commonly used for sealing and cushioning. Whether you’re weather-stripping your business or sound dampening an office, foam tape is ideal. Foam adhesive is often referred to as gasket tape. Like gaskets, foam tape is designed to create a convenient, protective seal between two surfaces. Foam tapes typically possess a certain degree of elasticity – allowing them to conform easily to awkward surfaces. , foam adhesive tape products are intended to keep air flow and water leakage at a minimum, hence why many are water resistant.
