Acrylic foam tapes are high-strength, double-sided tapes that create a long-lasting, resilient bond with substrates and are composed of adhesive coating on both sides of a flexible foam carrier. These double-coated tapes can be used to bond dissimilar materials and fill gaps to create a uniform stress distribution over the bonded area.
Acrylic foam tapes have notable advantages. Application is easy, and the bond strength between substrates actually increases over time. Simply remove the liner and apply the foam tape with pressure to form the permanent bond. Bondable substrates include aluminum, steel, glass, plastics, powder-coated surfaces, and more.
Two common examples of foam tapes Marian can die-cut include 3M™ VHB™ and tesa® ACXplus.
