Selection of Adhesive Type
When considering foam tapes for your work, it is critical to find the correct width, thickness, and adhesive type for your project. Many options are available to meet your project's needs with double-sided adhesive and many options for thickness and width. Knowing which adhesive type is ideal for your needs is essential in your purchase decision. You can choose between acrylic foam tape and rubber, or polyethylene, foam tape.
For example, acrylic foam tape has a relatively strong adhesive bond, ideal for projects exposed to the outdoors, particularly to moisture, or in high or varying heat conditions. It is weather-resistant as well as chemical-resistant. If you are sealing a window or working on an HVAC system, choose an acrylic adhesive.
• Bonding outdoor materials exposed to high heat and moisture
• Using as insulation and weather stripping
• Sealing an HVAC system to withstand temperature fluctuations
• Making a water-resistant seal
• Carton sealing
• Gaskets for shed doors or garage doors
Polyethylene foam tape is preferred for indoor use, as it sticks well to uneven surfaces and surfaces that are often found indoors, like plastic. It has excellent conformability and will conform to irregular textures and rough surfaces. It has excellent compressibility, so it also makes for good padding.
