Double-sided tape for industrial applications

Double-sided tape for industrial applications

Double-sided tape offers high adhesive strength and is ideal for quick assembly. Select the right thickness to fill gaps; our LSE tapes even bond to PP and PE without primer.

• Thin tapes - for flat surfaces

• Thicker variants - for rough substrates or gaps

• LSE series - for plastics with low surface energy

• HSE tapes - for standard materials

• For maximum strength - press down 1–2 times with a rubber roller (±2–3 kg)

• Prevent failure - match temperature and chemical exposure (solvents, oils, cleaners) according to the TDS (Technical Data Sheet)

Applications of double-sided tape

• Double-sided tape for plastic
• Double-sided tape for metal
• Double-sided tape for glass
• Double-sided tape for outdoor use
• Double-sided tape for mounting and assembly

Why choose double-sided tape?

• Invisible bonding without drilling or screwing
• Suitable for both smooth and rough surfaces
• High adhesion, even under structural loads
• Faster processing in production environments
• Available in custom formats: shape, width and adhesive type

Typical applications

Double-sided tape is widely used in various industrial sectors:

• Construction & façade assembly – permanent fixing of panels and profiles
• Mechanical engineering – structural bonding and vibration damping
• Electronics – positioning of displays, components and covers
• Graphic industry – splicing, cliché mounting and printing plates
• Exhibition stand construction – temporary and cleanly removable applications

Which double-sided tape do you need?

• For plastic → choose tapes with high adhesion for low surface energy materials
• For metal → choose durable acrylic adhesive tapes
• For structural bonding → choose VHB tapes
• For uneven surfaces → choose foam tapes
• For temporary use → choose removable tapes

Technical construction of double-sided tape

The performance of a double-sided tape is determined by three key components:

Backing

The backing provides strength and thickness to the tape. We supply, among others:

• Foam backings (acrylic foam, PE, PU) – suitable for uneven surfaces
• PET, PP or paper backings – for flat, thin applications
• Transfer tapes – carrier-free, consisting only of adhesive layer

Adhesive layer

The adhesive system is selected based on substrate, load and environment:

• Acrylic adhesive – structural and durable bonding
• Rubber adhesive – high initial tack, also on difficult surfaces
• Silicone adhesive – for extreme temperatures and demanding substrates

Release liner

The liner protects the adhesive layer and is adapted to your process:

• Paper liners - easy to remove for manual application
• Film liners - suitable for automated or mechanical processing

Types of double-sided tapes

We offer a wide range of double-sided tapes, including:

• VHB tapes (Very High Bond) - structural bonding without screws
• Foam tapes - stress-distributing and suitable for uneven surfaces
• ATG tapes - for fast processing with dispensers
• Cliché and splicing tapes - for printing and paper production
• Removable tapes - for temporary applications with clean removal
• Heat-resistant tapes - suitable for temperatures up to 200°C+

Also available in various colours, widths and custom shapes. Contact us for tailored solutions, die-cut parts or project-based advice.

Frequently asked questions

Which double-sided tape is the best?
This depends on the substrate, load and environment. Our specialists will help you select the right tape for your application.

How much weight can double-sided tape hold?
As a general rule: for indoor use approximately 25 cm² per kg, and for outdoor use 60 cm² per kg due to environmental influences. Always consult a specialist to ensure optimal bonding.

How long does double-sided tape last?
This depends on the application and the type of tape. High-quality tapes such as 3M VHB or tesa ACX+ can provide durable bonds for many years.

How do I remove double-sided tape?
This depends on the type of tape. Heat is often effective, and applying controlled stress can help loosen the bond.
