Double sided high performance acrylic foam tapes

Double-sided acrylic foam adhesive tapes differ from other types of double-sided foam adhesive tapes in that they do not have a substrate.

These adhesives consist exclusively of a viscoelastic acrylic core – the elastic property means that it can withstand high levels of elastic deformation while the viscous property gives the tape high internal stiffness.

Traditionally, mechanical fasteners (screws, rivets, welds, etc.) are the preferred solution when assembling two identical or dissimilar materials. However, when the structure of the materials needs to be preserved, double-sided acrylic foam tapes offer an attractive alternative due to their impressive technical properties:

• strong bonding, even to two dissimilar materials (also known as structural assembly work)
• dissipation of mechanical stresses,
• high resistance to various environmental conditions (temperature, UV, moisture, etc.)

Double-sided high performance acrylic foam adhesive tape is marketed under different tradenames:

• VHB® products by 3M™
• ACX^plus products by TESA®
• HYPERJOINT® products by NITTO
• NORBOND® products by SAINT GOBAIN
