Rubber Based Double-Sided Tapes
Rubber based double-sided tapes are self-wound thin tapes with rubber based pressure sensitive adhesive on either side of a thin carrier backed by a removable liner. These products provide excellent initial tack, immediate strength, and bond well to most substrates. Rubber based tapes are generally less resistant to heat, humidity, and chemicals. They are great for non-critical, temporary, or lightweight applications.
Applications include: Foam bonding, core starting, point of purchase displays and other interior applications
- Excellent thumb appeal and quick stick
- Full strength immediately with pressure
- Bonds well to most substrates
- Typically used for indoor and non-critical applications
- Ultimate strength typically lower than acrylic adhesives
- Variations may be used in food contact areas as specified by CFR0175.21
- Variations approved for flammability per MVSS 302, UL723, 25/50 Smoke/Spread
