If you need to bond materials with varying thicknesses or uneven or irregular surfaces, double-coated foam tapes are the solution. At Advantage Adhesives, we manufacture reliable double-coated foam tape and other high-performance adhesives to meet the needs of many applications, whether you need them for construction applications, point-of-purchase displays (POP), or many other types of applications.

Knowing more about double-coated foam and its benefits can help you decide if this solution is right for you.

What Is Double-Coated Foam?

Double-coated foam tapes use a pressure-sensitive adhesive on two sides of a foam carrier to form a strong bond. These tapes are particularly helpful in sealing products that might not benefit from the use of thinner adhesives and tapes. The foam carrier offers superior resistance to corrosion, impact, and moisture, maintaining the integrity of the sealed products.

Benefits of Double-Coated Foam

There are several key advantages of using double-coated foam adhesives, including:

  • Flexibility. These materials adhere to irregular surfaces, allowing for a solid bond by filling in gaps that might otherwise compromise seal integrity.
  • Durability. Reliable double-coated foam tapes are highly resistant to a wide range of temperatures, inclement weather conditions, chemicals, and ultraviolet light.
  • Versatility. The right products also work with a range of materials, such as plastics, glass, metals, and wood.
  • Load distribution. The foam carrier provides even load distribution across the material surface, enabling seals to withstand high stress and mitigate the risk of failure.
  • Spooling capabilities. Double-coated foam tapes (e.g., AT246) offer spooling capabilities that are suitable for high-volume automated applications.
  • Additional attributes. Foam construction, rubber-based adhesive, C2S white paper liner, and strong die-cutting performance. Double-coated foams can also be made in a single-coated version.

Double-Coated Foam Applications

High-performance double-coated foam tapes work for multiple applications to form secure packaging materials, such as:

Construction

Double-coated foam tapes are versatile and durable, making them ideal for use in construction applications through heavy-duty bonding, sealing, and mounting.

General OEM

Double-coated foam tapes provide high-performance fastening solutions designed for various OEM applications, providing filling, cushioning, sealing, and vibration damping.

Point of Purchase Displays

Double-coated foam tapes are essential in Point-of-Purchase (POP) displays for mounting, bonding, and cushioning. They provide a quicker and more durable alternative to mechanical fasteners.
