Double-sided tapes are divided into different types depending on the base material. Double-sided tapes with different base materials and different glues can meet different needs. In this blog, let’s take a look at the double-sided tapes of different base materials.
Here are the characteristics and applications of double-sided tapes with different base materials:
Foam-based double-sided tape:
Characteristics: Foam-based tapes have a foam or sponge-like base, which provides excellent cushioning and conformability.
Applications: This type of tape is commonly used for mounting objects on irregular or uneven surfaces, such as signs, nameplates, emblems, or architectural panels. It is also used to dampen vibration or noise in automotive and industrial applications.
Film-based double-sided tape:
Characteristics: Film-based tapes have a base made from materials like polyester, polypropylene, or PVC. They are thin, strong, and often transparent.
Applications: Film-based tapes are suitable for applications requiring transparent or invisible bonding. They are commonly used in industries like packaging, graphic arts, glass bonding, and electronics, where aesthetics or clarity is important. They are also used for splicing or joining thin materials.
Paper-based double-sided tape:
Characteristics: Paper-based tapes have a base made from paper, which can be coated on both sides with adhesive.
Applications: Paper-based tapes are typically used for light-duty applications like crafts, gift-wrapping, or mounting posters. They are easy to tear by hand and provide a temporary or removable bond.
Non-woven fabric-based double-sided tape:
Characteristics: Non-woven fabric-based tapes are made from synthetic fibers, creating a soft and flexible base.
Applications: This type of tape is often used in industries like fashion, textiles, or medical applications. It is commonly used for attaching clothing labels, garment accessories, or medical dressings.
Transfer tape:
Characteristics: Transfer tape is a thin adhesive film without a separate base material. It features adhesive on both sides, protected by a release liner.
Applications: Transfer tape is versatile and can be used for bonding lightweight materials, joining paper or cardboard, mounting promotional materials, or in the printing and signage industry.
It's important to note that the adhesive used in conjunction with these different base materials can vary, providing different levels of tackiness, temperature resistance, bonding strength, or even removability. It's always recommended to choose the right type of double-sided tape based on the specific application requirements.
Next, we will explain some of our common double-sided tapes.
