Nano Tapes

What is nano tape?

Nano tape is a groundbreaking adhesive solution that relies on super-aligned carbon nanotubes to create a strong yet residue-free bond. The effect is similar to how a gecko can cling to surfaces. (This is why it’s sometimes referred to as ‘gecko tape’.) Unlike more traditional tapes, nano tape doesn’t use a conventional adhesive layer. This makes it a reusable and more environmentally friendly option. 

Nano tape is mainly used as a double-sided tape to hang lightweight items on smooth surfaces, such as pictures or decorative items on the wall of a home or office.

At Stylus Tapes, we’ve built our reputation as Australia’s leading adhesive tape expert by providing cutting-edge products from leading manufacturers paired with fantastic customer service. 

What are the different types of nano tape?

We offer two main types of nano tape, each of which is tailored to different needs. Both are versatile and ideal for surfaces such as glass, metal, and other smooth substrates.

1. DIY Nano Tape

Smartape 4615 Clear Double-Sided Nano Tape is designed for DIY tasks and smaller-scale projects around the home or office. This reusable, double-sided clear gel tape provides excellent adhesion while being completely residue-free, even after multiple uses.

Use this nano tape to hang lightweight items (such as photos or other decorative objects up to 1kg), replacing the need for mechanical fasteners or liquid adhesives. It’s also ideal for fixing promotional displays, small signs, and labels, or the temporary mounting of electronics or white goods during retail promotions. Nano tape can even be used as an anti-slip pad. Cut it to your preferred length to secure things like carpets and furniture legs, preventing sliding.

This versatile tape is suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications. It removes cleanly and is hand-tearable for quick and easy application.

Features:

• Washable and reusable.
• Temperature resistant -20°C to 80°C (long-term) and up to 140°C (short-term)
• UV- and water-resistant.

2. General-purpose nano tape

Our Smartape 4620 Clear Double-Sided Nano Tape is designed for industrial and business use, with larger roll lengths and customisable widths. 

This tape has similar properties to the DIY nano tape, including its temperature ratings, UV and water resistance, and the fact that it can be washed and reused. 

The key difference is the size of the tape.. This is why we recommend this tape for industrial, retail and manufacturing applications.

Use it for lightweight mounting, temporary holding and mounting promotional displays.,

Features:

• Reusable bond tape with strong adhesion.
• No adhesive, making it environmentally friendly and ideal for businesses focused on sustainable packaging.
• Effective on smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, marble, and plastic.

How do I reuse nano tape?

Nano tape’s lack of adhesive means it’s completely residue-free and can be reused. Here’s how to reuse it:

1. Remove by slowly stretching one side of the tape. Do not pull the tape away from the surface too abruptly, as this can damage the tape (and the surface).
2. Wash the nano tape under running water.
3. Allow the tape to air-dry fully.
4. Once the nano tape has dried, you can reuse it for another application. 

Nano tape: what do I need to know?

Nano tape’s unique adhesive-free design ensures clean and residue-free removability, even from surfaces such as glass and plastic.

This feature is what makes nanotape stand out as a great option for more lightweight tasks. 

Because it can be reused, nano tape is considered to be an environmentally friendly alternative to other double sided tapes. Its reusability reduces waste, helping businesses that are looking to adopt sustainable practices. Its reusability is also more cost-effective.

For storage, ensure you store nano tape in a dry area without direct sunlight and in air-sealed packaging. This will help it retain its adhesive integrity and clear colour.

FAQs

What makes nano tape different from other double-sided tapes?

Nano tapes don’t use a traditional adhesive like other double-sided tapes. They use super-aligned carbon nanotubes (similar to how geckos stick to surfaces). This difference makes nano tape residue-free, reusable, and perfect for sensitive surfaces.

Can nano tape be used for industrial applications?

Yes, Stylus Tapes’ general-purpose nano tape is ideal for industrial use, including mounting promotional displays and securing items during production.

What surfaces work best with nano tape?

Nano tape adheres effectively to smooth surfaces, making it versatile for applying to glass, metal, wood, marble, and plastic.
