What is Acrylic Foam Tape?

Acrylic foam tape is a type of adhesive tape composed of a foam core with acrylic adhesive on both sides. The acrylic adhesive provides strength and durability, allowing it to meet demanding bonding requirements, and it is covered with a colored release liner.

The composition structure of acrylic foam tape

Acrylic foam tape is a double-sided tape typically used for applications that require high strength and durability. It consists of three main layers:

Foam core: The foam core is the central layer of the tape, providing thickness and structural support. It is usually made of closed-cell acrylic foam material. This foam core allows the tape to conform to irregular surfaces and provides excellent stress distribution, resulting in greater bonding strength.

Adhesive layers: There is adhesive on both sides of the foam core. These layers are responsible for bonding the tape to the surfaces being joined. Acrylic foam tapes typically use high-performance acrylic adhesives that exhibit excellent adhesion to various substrates, including metal, plastic, glass, and painted surfaces. The adhesive is applied to the foam core using a process that ensures uniform coverage and adhesion.

Release liner: To protect the adhesive layers before the tape is ready for use, the backside of the tape is covered with a release liner. These liners are typically made of paper or film coated with silicone resin and come in various colors. When you’re ready to use the tape, you simply peel off the release liner to expose the adhesive and bond the tape to the desired surface.

Features of acrylic foam tape

• Good stretchability
  Acrylic foam tape has a high elongation capability, meaning it can stretch without tearing or losing its adhesive properties.
• Reusable
  Acrylic foam tape is often reusable, meaning it can be removed from a surface and repositioned or reused multiple times without losing its adhesive properties.
• Suitable for irregular surfaces
  Acrylic foam tape is designed to be flexible and conform to various surface contours, including irregular shapes, textures, and uneven surfaces.
• High temperature resistance
  Acrylic foam tape can withstand a wide temperature range, typically ranging from -40°C to 150°C (-40°F to 302°F).
• Tear off without adhesive residue
  when the tape is removed, the adhesive remains on the tape rather than transferring onto the surface. This helps ensure that the surface remains clean and free from any sticky residue.

The combination of the foam core material and the high-performance acrylic adhesive in acrylic foam tape offers several advantages

High bonding strength: The foam core increases surface contact, creating a larger bonding area and more effectively dispersing stress. This results in high bonding strength that can withstand various environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, vibrations, and exposure to moisture.

waterproof feature: The closed-cell foam structure helps prevent the penetration of water, while the acrylic adhesive provides excellent adhesion and durability even when exposed to water or

Long-term durability: Acrylic foam tape is known for its long-term durability. Over time, it can maintain its bonding strength and resist degradation caused by UV exposure, aging, and environmental factors.

Adhesion to nearly any surface: High bond tapes are versatile adhesives suitable for a range of substrates, including glass, metal, and polycarbonate, without the need for mechanical or complex assembly.

The difference between pink acrylic foam tape and PE foam tape

Pink acrylic foam tape is made of solvent-based acrylic foam as the base material, laminated with paper release liner or film-type release paper. Acrylic foam as the base material can be customized in various colors such as pink, transparent, white, blue, black, etc.

PE foam tape is made of PE foam as the base material, with strong solvent-based acrylic adhesive applied on both sides, and covered with PE plastic film or yellow silicone paper or white silicone paper or glassine silicone paper as the release liner.

Applications of double-sided high-strength acrylic foam tape

Provides joint strength and dust sealing for various wall assemblies and construction processes, such as insulation, sealing, connecting, bundling, repairing, marking, etc.

Electrical applications: Used in household appliances, advertising, electronic signage, LED panels, etc., providing good adhesive bonding and fixation during processing and assembly.

Automotive applications: Used for car protective strips, bumpers, crash pads, nameplates, floating panels, pedals, interior and exterior decorations, as well as adhesive bonding of motorcycle nameplates, logos, and subtitles.

Acrylic foam tape is commonly used in various industries, including automotive, construction, electronics, and signage. It provides a reliable and versatile bonding solution for applications that require strong and permanent adhesion.
