Double-sided adhesive tapes
Double-sided adhesive tapes, especially double-sided mirror and assembly tapes, are now very common in industry, crafts, hobbies & leisure, motorsport & tuning and home & garden.
PE foam is generally coated on both sides with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. For non-experts, this process becomes complicated and confusing, as a wide variety of adhesive qualities are used.
But the adhesive is crucial for successful application. Therefore, the range of products extends from simple, inexpensive hot melt adhesives to temperature- and age-resistant acrylic adhesives—from inexpensive products to high-priced ones.
Double-sided adhesive tapes do not damage surface structures and save money and time because they are particularly easy and efficient to use. For example, they can be used to bond metals such as aluminum and steel, low-energy plastics such as PE or PP, fiber composites such as CFRP and GRP, or even elastomers, rubber, wood, ceramics, glass, leather, and many other materials – always damage-free. Double-sided adhesive tapes allow for flexible bonds, high dynamic strength, and high vibration damping.
