Frequently Asked Questions about Foam Tape Adhesives
What are foam tapes adhesives?
Foam tapes are mainly used for soundproofing, thermal insulation, gasket, cushioning, padding and sealing. Every foam tape has unique characteristics to reach a specific objective. They can be made with different thicknesses, adhesives, compatible substrates and sizes. The common temperature range of the foam tape to resist is -40°F to 300°F. If required, they may also resist moisture, UV sunlight and solvents. Lastly, they can provide a high binding force to compensate for various thermal expansions.
What should be the qualities of foam tapes in the automotive sector?
These automotive tapes must comply with irregularities and adhere rigid surfaces, even when there may be a slight mismatch. They need to have high peel adhesion, a 180° peel force to stainless steel of greater than 6 or 7 psi with a 15-minute dwell time when tested. In addition, foam adhesive tapes for automotive applications needs to function well for a relatively wide range of substrates. Lastly, adhesives must also be resistant to water or solvents.
