Mounting tape

Mounting tape as a structural bonding solution

Mounting tapes are increasingly used as an alternative to mechanical fastening methods such as screws, bolts and welding. Double-sided mounting tape enables two surfaces to be bonded invisibly and permanently, both indoors and outdoors.

In addition to general mounting purposes, these tapes are widely used in mechanical engineering, electronics and industrial applications where specific properties are required, such as temperature resistance or vibration damping.

Why choose mounting tape instead of screws?

Structural mounting tapes, including acrylic foam and VHB tapes, offer several advantages over traditional fastening methods:

• Reduced weight of the assembly

• Lower material costs

• Faster installation and shorter production time

• Reduced labor costs

• No corrosion or rust formation

• Vibration and noise damping

• No shifting or deformation caused by oversized drill holes

• Clean, invisible finish without visible fasteners

These benefits make mounting tape particularly suitable for serial production and high-end finished products.

Application of double-sided mounting tape

During installation, the tape is first applied to one surface while the release liner protects the second adhesive side. After positioning the second component, the liner is removed and uniform pressure is applied to achieve optimal adhesion.

Proper surface preparation and correct processing are essential to ensure maximum bond strength and long-term durability.

Applications of mounting tape

Mounting tapes are commonly used for:

• Bonding panels, profiles and housings

• Automotive applications such as trims, emblems and mirror mounting

• Displays, exhibition stands and signage

• Electronic components and machine parts

• Industrial and serial assembly

Special variants are also available for niche applications, such as cushion mounting tapes used in the printing industry.

Mounting tape for coated and technical surfaces

Mounting tape provides a reliable alternative to mechanical fastening on powder-coated and painted surfaces. Specific VHB tapes are engineered to deliver excellent adhesion to coated substrates and maintain performance during and after coating processes.
