Foam tape

What are foam tapes?

Foam tapes are adhesive tapes with a flexible foam carrier, used for sealing, damping and mounting applications. Their structure allows them to compensate for surface irregularities and tolerances, resulting in a reliable and durable bond.

They adhere well to a wide range of materials such as metal, glass, plastics and painted surfaces, and are commonly used in industrial and technical environments.

Properties and benefits of foam tape

A key characteristic of foam tape is its ability to slightly compress and recover after application, allowing the adhesive layer to fully adapt to the substrate. This results in:

• Strong adhesion on smooth and slightly uneven surfaces

• Vibration and sound damping

• Compensation of tolerances

• Clean, virtually invisible mounting

• Suitable for both single-sided and double-sided applications

Depending on the type, foam tapes are also moisture-resistant, making them suitable for use in environments with varying conditions.

Applications of foam tapes

Foam tapes are commonly used for:

• Mounting panels, profiles and trims

• Fixing nameplates and components

• Vibration damping in machines and equipment

• Automotive applications and assembly

• Industrial bonding where limited thickness is required

Thanks to the combination of high adhesion and flexibility, foam tapes can handle relatively high loads despite their limited thickness.
