FOAM ADHESIVE TAPES · MOUNTING AND SEALING
Foam adhesive tape for mounting and sealing
Foam adhesive tape can mount components or seal joints. The tape construction, adhesive sides, substrate and loads in your application determine the choice.

Selection criteria
Which properties matter before selection?
Start with the task: should one side seal a joint, or should both sides bond components? The range includes single-sided vinyl foam tapes and double-sided PE foam tapes. That does not make the products interchangeable.
Compare the foam carrier, adhesive, tape thickness, joint size, substrate and load. How well a tape follows contours or accommodates forces depends on its specific construction and conditions of use.

Selecting foam adhesive tape
How do you choose a suitable format?
For mounting, consider the surfaces of both components, joint size and mechanical loads. For sealing, also establish how the foam will be compressed in the joint. A PE foam carrier, a vinyl foam carrier and an acrylic foam core have different constructions; a carrier's properties do not automatically apply to the adhesive or the finished bond.
If a standard roll does not suit the component geometry or application step, discuss a suitable supply format with us. Krückemeyer GmbH processes appropriate materials in converting, for example into cut pieces and die-cut parts. We assess the material, shape and process for your application.

Questions about foam adhesive tapes
When is single-sided foam adhesive tape useful?
A single-sided tape may suit a task in which one foam face covers a joint or component while the other face adheres to the substrate. The range includes single-sided vinyl foam tapes for such tasks. Whether a particular tape is suitable for dust, moisture or a given load depends on its product data and the installation. To join two components, consider a double-sided construction instead.
How do PE foam and acrylic foam tapes differ?
PE foam is a foam carrier coated with an adhesive; an acrylic foam tape has a differently constructed core. Their constructions and possible response to loads therefore differ. One tesa PE foam tape in the range, for example, uses modified acrylic adhesive. The properties of one product cannot be assumed for every foam adhesive tape. Compare the product data against the substrate, joint and loads.
What information helps when requesting a cut piece?
Specify the materials to be joined or sealed, surface condition, geometry, joint size and expected loads. Also say whether the tape should adhere on one or both sides and how you intend to apply it. Krückemeyer GmbH can then assess the material and possible supply format with you. Cutting or die cutting does not automatically change the documented properties of the starting material.
Can every foam adhesive tape damp vibration and seal?
No. Manufacturers describe damping and gap accommodation for particular PE and PU foam solutions, while individual product data specify sealing or mounting tasks for specific tapes. Compression, contact area, adhesive and load also affect the completed assembly. Check the selected tape's data and your application conditions before relying on a sealing or damping function.
