Double-sided tape for industrial applications

How does 3M double-sided work?

3M double-sided usually consists of a carrier with an adhesive layer on both sides. However, there are also double-sided adhesive tapes without a carrier. In order to be able to deliver the tape on a roll, the adhesive layers are provided with a protective sheet. Our double-sided adhesive tapes come in all shapes, sizes and shapes. You can improve your production process with one of our double-adhesive tapes.

The carrier of a tape can consist of one of the following materials: paper, pp, Teflon, PET, aluminium, PU, ​​kapton and foam. Tapir can combine different types of adhesive layers with different types of carriers. Feel free to contact with us for all possibilities.

The adhesive layer of the tape can consist of: Acrylic, rubber, silicone or a combination of these. The protective sheet can vary in thickness from 0.05 millimeters to 6 millimeters. Tapir can supply almost all types of double-sided adhesive tape.

Strong 3M double-sided tape

The construction/structure of double-sided adhesive tape

There are many different types of double-sided adhesive tape and almost all of them have a base material, which we call a carrier. However, there is also a double-sided adhesive tape without a carrier. Simply put, this is glue on a roll, as soon as you remove the protective sheet from this tape, you only have the adhesive layer / glue left. 

Carrier material

There are many different types of material that we can use as a carrier. There are foam carriers, paper carriers, linen carriers, etc.
Thicker foam tapes are suitable for rough surfaces. One of the thickest tapes we have at the moment is from tesa the tesa 70740 of no less than 3.9mm thick.
Thin tapes are used when space is limited or often when connections have to be made on glass/transparent material, and tapes that have to be able to absorb heavy loads and vibrations are acrylic-foamtapes

Backing layer

The release layer/backing sheet is mainly available in 2 types of paper or foil and whichever you choose, this has nothing to do with the properties of the tape itself.
One chooses a paper backing sheet because he finds it more comfortable working (often if a lot of manual processing is done, this is a bit more pleasant to work with)
And where a lot of mechanical work is done, foil is often preferred.

Glue type / Adhesive layer / adhesive system

And then the most important part of tape, the type of adhesive layer or, in technical terms, the adhesive system. Which type is chosen depends on many factors, how and where it is produced, what kind of substrate(s) is glued to it, how long should the connection last, is it an indoor or outdoor application and how many vibrations are there? in the connection.

So many factors to consider, we understand that sometimes choosing is not easy. Don't worry, we are here to help you make the right choice. And if necessary, we can test the connection for you before it is applied in practice or in production. Our Team specialists are ready
