Description
Automotive foam tape 6118LSE is a high performance, double-sided grey adhesive tape for demanding applications in the automotive industry, as well as other industries.
This product has a high initial tack, perfect for when a permanent high strength is required. Examples of use include attaching trim parts or seals to a car body, automotive panel bonding and badge mounting.
Temperature range: -30°C to +150°C (short term +180°C)
Thickness: 0.8mm / 1.1mm / 2mm
Available in 12mm, 19mm, 25mm x 33m (other variations available).
Benefits of Automotive Foam Tape 6118
- Automotive foam tape 6118LSE allows for deviations in the substrates and surfaces being bonded.
- This high performance, double-sided adhesive tape is a viable alternative to mechanical fixings such as welding, clipping and screwing.
- This strong tape also has the ability to cope with differing thermal expansions.
- Temperature range: -30°C to +150°C (short term +180°C)
- Thickness: 0.8mm / 1.1mm /2mm
- Available in 12mm, 19mm, 25mm x 33m (other variations available upon request).
- White is available upon request.

Application examples
- Construction – Bonding façade trims, cladding panels, seals and architectural components where surface irregularities must be accommodated and a high-strength, permanent fixing is required without mechanical fasteners.
- Engineering – Securing panels, enclosures, trims and fabricated components while allowing for substrate variation and thermal expansion, providing a durable alternative to welding, screwing or clipping.
- Signage – Mounting aluminium composite panels, lettering, trims and frames to sign structures, offering strong initial tack and long-term performance across internal and external environments.
- Marine – Attaching trims, seals, access panels and identification plates to painted or coated surfaces, delivering vibration resistance and the ability to cope with temperature fluctuations and movement.
- Automotive – Fixing trim parts, seals, badges and body panels to vehicle substrates, ensuring high initial grab and permanent structural bonding even on low surface energy plastics.
- Transportation – Bonding interior panels, exterior trims and structural elements in buses, rail and commercial vehicles, providing flexibility to absorb vibration and thermal movement while maintaining a secure, long-lasting bond.
How to apply automotive foam tape 6118
Before applying automotive foam tape 6118 surfaces should be clean, dry and free of any dirt, dust and grease. For the best results, we recommend using a degreasing product such as our 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.
