Foam tapes are adhesive-coated polyolefin foam with the adhesive protected by a liner in the form of a tape. These tapes are proven high performance attachment systems for bonding automotive accessory and trim parts. They offer a choice of different foam carriers, urethane, vinyl, elastometric, polyethylene, acrylic or neoprene, with either an acrylic or rubber adhesive system.

Characteristics
Foam tapes are designed for gap filling and vibration dampening and provide secure seals against air, dust and UV light. They perform well over a wide range of temperatures and have high load bearing ability. They bond securely to a wide range of substrates having consistent lasting seal. They are clean to use and have a longer life. They provide handling convenience, cushioning, impact resistance and conformability. They distribute stress uniformly over bonded area. Stress forces of an application are dissipated throughout the foam core, providing excellent long-term performance.

They eliminate the concern for rust development associated with the use of mechanical fasteners. They also eliminate the unsightly appearance of bolt, screw or rivet heads. Foam does not absorb water and provides good thermal insulation properties.

Foam tapes are available in a variety of thickness, densities, liners, die cuts, colors and a wide range of adhesive formulations. Tapes are available in black and white, and are conformable to irregular surfaces.
