Double sided tape can be categorised into many different types, depending on the carrier and adhesive system used. The most common carriers are Foam, Polyester, Polypropylene and Tissue. When coated either side with either an Emulsion or solvent Acrylic, Rubber or Hot Melt adhesive a double sided tape is produced.
Our range can be divided into two main subcategories of thin or thick double sided tape.
Our tape can be used in many different ways. If you are looking for a thin bond line or a general purpose product then please have a look at our thin double sided tape. If however you require a product to to cope with uneven surfaces or need to fill a gap then please view our thick double sided tape.
When a structural strength or high temperature is require you may wish to look at our Structural Acrylic Tapes.
How to use Double sided tape
Before applying tape, surfaces should be clean, dry and free of any dirt, dust and grease. For the best results, we recommend using CTA IPA Cleaner Degreaser.
- Use sufficient pressure over the whole surface at room temperature to ensure maximum adhesion to substrates.
- The ideal application temperature is between 15 – 25°C.
- Primers can increase the bond durability and surface tension for difficult to bond materials. We recommend CTA Primer or CTA UV Identifiable Primer to achieve the best results.
