What is a Double Sided Tape?

Tape is easy to apply either by hand or with automation, and there’s no waiting for an adhesive to cure or a mechanical fastening to be completed. Pre-taping units and then adding the second part in batches may also speed production in some instances.

Conformability, gap filling, invisible bond lines – double sided tapes give you the flexible design options you need. It also provides flexibility to your production by allowing parts to be pre-taped, then set aside to await next steps.

Double sided tapes provide immediate handling strength with no cure time, allowing assembled parts to move immediately to the next phase of production.

Lightweight designs often require bonding different substrates using a different adhesive on each side of the tape. We also have adhesives that bond well to Low Surface Energy (LSE) materials such as certain plastics and paints.

Double sided tapes offer virtually invisible bond lines without protruding fasteners. Tapes also reduce product bulk both by removing mechanical fasteners and allowing the use of thinner, lighter materials by evenly distributing stress across the bond.

Because even the thinnest tape provides adhesion to both substrates across the entire bond area, double sided tapes can help prevent moisture from crossing the bond line.
