Overview
Foam tapes are a high performance tape with an acrylic adhesive, which seal against light dust and moisture.
Foam tapes are dimensionally stable and will not ooze, drip, or slip while under compression. In addition, foam tapes offer:
- Weather resistance
- Good adhesion grip
Foam tapes are unsurpassed on rough surfaces and on applications requring resistance to extreme temperatures, resistance to plasticizers, or where long term aging characteristics are vital.
Foam tapes can be used in a wide variety of applications such as:
- Signage
- Furniture
- Appliances
- Electronics
- Mirrors
- Doors
- Molded plastics
- Nameplates
- Displays
- Windows
- Automotive
- Plastic and vinyl extrusions
