What is high bond tape?

This type of adhesive tape is specially made to create a strong and long-lasting bond between two surfaces. It is also called high-strength bonding acrylic, structural bonding, or HBF tape. 

They serve as a substitute for conventional mechanical fasteners such as rivets, screws, or welding.

Its primary feature is forming a robust, durable bond between various materials, such as composites, metals, plastics, glass, and more.

The tape is usually comprised of high-performance acrylic foam adhesives with cohesion and adhesion qualities. It is also called high-bond tape.

What are the different types of high bond tapes?

High Bond Foam (HBF) tape is the strongest type of double-sided tape. They are a powerful, dual-sided acrylic foam adhesive known that offers superior adhesion, often serving as a viable alternative to traditional fasteners like spot welds, screws, and rivets. HBF tape is available in multiple variations, including:

High Performance Acrylic Foam Tapes

These are the standard high bond tapes to use on medium to high surface energy (MSE/HSE) materials. They are durable and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Common applications include glass, metal, painted surfaces, signage, displays and construction projects.

LSE Adhesive High Bond Tapes

Formulated with a modified acrylic adhesive for bonding to low surface energy (LSE) plastics such as PP, TPO and ABS. They are ideal for use on automotive trims, powder-coated surfaces, plastic panels. These tapes are also compatible with MSE and HSE surfaces.

High Temperature Resistant High Bond Tapes

Engineered to handle elevated temperatures (up to 230°C) in demanding industrial environments. Commonly used in powder coating, metal fabrication and high-heat applications.

Cold Temperature Resistant High Bond Tapes

Engineered for bonding in cold conditions, with application temperatures as low as 10°C and operating performance down to -30°C. Perfect for winter installations, outdoor signage, and construction in cooler regions of Australia and New Zealand.

Retail Packed High Bond Foam Tapes

Available in convenient 5m length retail packs for the DIY and trade markets. Ideal for smaller jobs around the home, office, or construction sites where full length 33m rolls aren’t required. Available in LSE, clear, and grey options to suit a wide range of applications.

What are high bond tapes used for?

HBF tapes have a wide range of uses because of their high strength, ease of manufacture, and adaptability. They can be utilised in a wide range of items in place of liquid adhesives, bolts, screws, rivets, and welds.

• Metal fabrication: It offers a reliable, long-lasting bonding option simpler than welding or riveting.
• Electronics: HBF’s unique design flexibility suits sealed devices and other electrical applications.
• Signage: This tape has an unnoticeable bond and, due to its weather-resistant qualities, works well for indoor and outdoor signs.
• Construction: HBF is most commonly found on building sites due to its durable adhesive and even distribution of stress loads, making it ideal for bonding external panels.

How can I apply and remove it?

To apply the tape, use a roller or strong pressure to press it onto the substrate after cleaning the surface and cutting it to size. Let the adhesive dry completely before using it.

Heat (using a hairdryer or adhesive remover) can be applied to remove the tape. For stubborn tape, cut through the adhesive with an oscillating tool, then use soapy water and adhesive remover to clean away any residue.
