Double Coated Polyethylene Foam Tape

Double Coated Polyethylene Foam Tape

Double Coated Polyethylene Foam Tape is a versatile adhesive solution engineered for strong, long-lasting bonds across a wide range of surfaces. Featuring a closed-cell polyethylene foam core coated on both sides with high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA), this tape offers excellent conformability, making it ideal for both smooth and irregular surfaces. Its robust adhesion properties ensure reliable performance in various mounting and bonding applications.

Features

• Strong Adhesion: Provides high initial tack and long-term holding power on substrates like metal, glass, plastics, and painted surfaces.

• Conformable Foam Core: The closed-cell polyethylene foam adapts to surface irregularities, ensuring a secure bond even on uneven surfaces.

• Durable Performance: Resists moisture, UV light, and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

• Easy Application: Available in various widths and thicknesses, with a peel-away liner for quick and clean installation.
