Single sided adhesive tape

Single-sided tape for industrial applications

Single-sided tape has one adhesive side, while the other side is protected by a backing. This backing can consist of various materials, such as paper, film, or plastic, and is combined with different types of adhesives (rubber, acrylic, or silicone). The right combination determines performance and application possibilities.

Tapir Tapes supplies a wide range of single-sided tapes for diverse industrial applications. Our specialists are happy to advise you on which tape is best suited for your production process.

Typical applications of single-sided tape

• Protection - protective films and surface protection

• Marking - floor marking tape for safety and routing

• Masking - for painting, varnishing, and powder coating processes

• Insulating - electrical insulating tapes and thermal solutions

• Packaging - standard packaging tape and sustainable, compostable variants

• Die-cut parts - custom-made labels, sealing tabs, and marking dots

Laminating

We can apply an adhesive layer to materials by laminating them with double-sided tape. Even steel sheets, plasterboard, concrete panels, and advertising boards can be provided with a durable bonding layer in this way.

Examples from our range

• Protective films - complete range from 3M, now exclusively available at Tapir under our own item codes

• Masking tapes - including 3M 202, 3M 233, and various Tapir alternatives

• Insulating tapes - such as 3M 4934, 3M 8805/8810, and the Tapir RK series

• Packaging tapes - from standard to biodegradable tapes with the OK Compost certification

• Pre-powdercoat tapes - RK-613 and RK-615, cleanly removable after coating

Tools & custom solutions

In addition to tapes, we supply tools such as dispensers, label rollers, and primers. We also produce custom die-cut parts and have a range of standard products available directly from stock.
