What are double sided tapes & foams?

Double sided tapes and foams are adhesives designed to bond two surfaces together on both sides of the tape. Made with durable materials, these tapes ensure a strong and permanent bond. They are a practical solution for various applications across different industries, from construction to signage. 

The major benefit of double sided tape is its ability to securely hold items in place without the need for additional fasteners. This makes it ideal for when you need precise and clean results.

With uses ranging from simple home repairs to complex industrial applications, double sided tape is essential for any toolkit.

How to apply double sided tape

Applying double sided tape is simple. Follow these steps for best results:

1.   Clean and dry both surfaces you will be bonding with an appropriate cleaning solution, preferably IPA (Isopropanol), using a clean, lint-free wiping cloth or disposable wipe (never re-cycled rags).
2.   Cut the tape to the desired length. The portion of tape held by your fingers should overlap the area being applied to & trimmed, as finger contact with any adhesive tape will significantly reduce its performance.
3.   Peel off the liner from one side of the tape.
4.   Apply the tape to one surface, pressing firmly.
5.   Peel off the liner from the other side.
6.   Align the second surface and press firmly.
7.   Hold for a few seconds or until you are confident it is secure. Adhesive Bond Strength will improve with time varying from a few hours to 2-3 days depending on the adhesive tape product used and climatic conditions.

For detailed instructions please refer to the product’s data sheet or application instructions on its packaging.

How to remove double sided tape

You can remove tape by using the following methods:

• Apply heat: Use a hair dryer to warm the tape gently. This softens the adhesive, making it easier to remove.
• Gentle prying: Use something with a thin edge, such as a razor blade, to carefully lift the edge of the tape. Slowly peel it off to avoid damaging the surface.
• Solvent: Apply a small amount of solvent, such as rubbing alcohol, to dissolve the adhesive. Be careful you don’t damage any surface.
• Commercial removers: There are commercial adhesive removers specifically designed for this purpose. Follow the product instructions for safe and effective removal.

These methods are suitable for all types of tape, including acrylic adhesives and acrylic foam tapes.

Can I use double sided tape on all surfaces?

It depends on the state of the surface. It can be used on wood, metal, glass and plastic. However, it may not stick well to surfaces that are rough, dusty or porous. 

For the best results, always test a small area first. Specialty tapes, like foam mounting tape and double sided acrylic, can give you stronger adhesion for some materials.
