Double sided cloth tapes

We produce a great many double-sided cloth adhesive tapes, each suited to specific applications.

Various fibres (cotton, polyester, rayon, etc.) are used to make the substrate for double-sided cloth adhesive tapes with different weaves to suit the intended application.

The adhesive used is generally rubber (natural or synthetic) and some tapes have a different grade of rubber adhesive on each side to create different properties.

There are three classes of weave:

• Tight: developed for less demanding applications which require good mechanical characteristics yet, for example, can also be torn by hand
• Moderately tight: offer high mechanical strength, notably in shear, but remain flexible and conformable
• Very tight: used to withstand very high mechanical stresses (e.g. up to the ultimate tensile strength) while retaining its flexibility and conformability

Careful selection of the fibre, type of weave and adhesive produces the optimal properties for a given application.

For example, a double-sided cloth tape with a cotton substrate and a natural rubber adhesive would be well suited to the temporary bonding of rugs and fitted carpets laid for short-term events, both indoors and outdoors, because natural rubber adheres to rough ground and can be removed without leaving any trace of adhesive.

All our tapes can be supplied as rolls, sheets or in custom cut shapes.
