Apollo Foam stock a range of double sided tapes which can be applied quickly and easily to our range of open cell Polyurethane foams and closed cell Polyethylene foams.
The roll of adhesive, generally 100mts, is loaded onto the self adhesive laminator. The operator then sets the machine to the thickness of the material which is being coated, adding a little bit of pressure for the adhesive to key to the material. The adhesive then travels over a heated roller to activate the adhesive ready to be applied, both the material and the adhesive combine under rubber rollers with pressure to self-adhesive back the material in either sheet or roll format.
With a diverse selection of double-sided tapes available, we understand the importance of selecting the most suitable option for your specific application. Our experienced team can guide you through the various factors to consider, including:
- Release Paper: Choose from different coloured release papers for easier handling and removal.
- Liner Type: Select from options like direct coat adhesives (no liner) or scrim liners (for maintaining shape).
- Tack Level: Opt for low-tack adhesives for easy removal or high-tack adhesives for a stronger, semi-permanent bond.
You can also have tapes with differing coloured release papers , some which have no liners / carriers called direct coat adhesives, others which have a carrier such as a scrim liner which helps maintain the shape of the product, some extremely low tack so they can be removed very easily from the application, and others which are very high tack upon laminating which give a semi-permanent fix.
Self-adhesive foam finds diverse applications across numerous industries, including:
- Construction: Gasketing, sealing and insulation solutions.
- Packaging: Securely adhering protective cushioning elements.
- Retail Displays: Mounting signage and product displays.
- Automotive: Noise dampening and component adhesion.
- And many more!
