Foam tape combines the benefits of foam, which flexibly fills the space between two surfaces, with a double-sided tape adhesive, which ensures a permanent stick. Foam tape is a handy tool for various project types, with home and professional applications. It can be used indoors to mount items like mirrors or even in the shower for soap holders or towel hooks.
Foam tape is often used for weather stripping, to bond or seal the space between surfaces and prevent the escape of liquid, air, or dust, to hang display signage, or to reduce the noise and damage of vibrations between two surfaces. The tapes can be used in construction, automotive, hobbies, home improvement, electronics, signage, industrial, and other applications.
What Are The Main Uses Of Foam Tape?
Joining Materials
Double-sided tapes can join materials such as nameplates, maps, small die-cast parts, and more. The Window Glazing Tape Double Coated PE Foam tape with double-sided high-performance adhesive is excellent for bonding two materials, including textured or irregular surfaces. This tape is resistant to humidity, acids, oil, and grease. It can also be used for sound and vibration dampening and comes in black or white foam.
Mounting
Foam tape is excellent for mounting or hanging heavy items.Foam tape can be used for mounting or hanging:
• Point-of-sale signage in a retail setting
• Mirrors or pictures
• Towel hooks or bars
• Anything where you don't want a screw or nail hole
Padding Surfaces
You can use foam tape to pad the space between two surfaces, filling a gap that might otherwise let in air, water, or dust. Foam tape can be useful for construction projects, where it is essential to fill spaces where air or moisture from the outdoors could make its way indoors and cause damage or increase heating or cooling bills. The foam can also keep the backs of heavy mirrors or pictures from scratching the paint.
Insulation
Weather stripping is a foam tape used around windows and doors to prevent air, dust, dirt, and moisture from getting inside the structure and can prevent air-conditioned or heated air from escaping. Larger foam tapes can be used to seal large gaps, such as gaps formed when installing an air conditioner.
Sound dampening
Foam tape can help reduce noise and vibrations1in machinery or audio equipment.
Light-blocking
Foam tapes can block light in small gaps and holes or spaces in doors and windows.
Mechanical Fastening
You can use foam tape instead of mechanical fasteners like screws or bolts, which can be costly and may cause friction in high-pressure environments, such as in automotive applications. Tape is a better option when you don't want to leave puncture holes.
Since you can hide foam tape underneath a surface, it is often considered a more visually appealing solution in place of screws or bolts. Foam tape can also reduce damage-causing vibrations in a high-pressure environment.
