Description
This premium acrylic foam tape is a high-performance bonding solution designed for demanding, long-term applications. With a 1.1 mm thick closed-cell acrylic foam core, it delivers strong, reliable adhesion in a clean, easy-to-use format that removes the need for mechanical fixings in many metal-to-metal joints.
Ideal for use in metal fabrication, construction, signage, automotive, and general industrial assembly, this double-sided tape provides quick bonding with excellent stress distribution. Available in a choice of widths from 12 mm to 50 mm on 33 m coils, it offers a versatile option for precise, heavy-duty bonding where durability and neat appearance are essential.
Product Features
- Available coil widths of 12 mm, 19 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm to suit a wide range of bonding and fixing applications.
- Consistent 1.1 mm acrylic foam thickness for excellent gap filling and stress absorption between bonded surfaces.
- Supplied on 33 m coils, providing generous length for production lines, workshop use, and regular maintenance tasks.
- High-performance acrylic foam construction designed for strong, permanent bonds on metals and other smooth, high-energy substrates.
- White tape finish for a discrete appearance on light-coloured surfaces and visibility during positioning.
- Double-sided adhesive format for clean, concealed bonding without the need for screws, rivets, or welds in many applications.
- Quick bonding characteristics to support efficient assembly processes and reduced clamping or curing times.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides strong, durable metal-to-metal bonds, reducing or eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners in suitable applications.
- Absorbs vibration and helps distribute stress across the joint, improving long-term performance and reducing the risk of joint failure.
- Clean, tidy application with no mixing, curing, or overspray, helping to maintain a neat working environment.
- Thin yet cushioning foam core allows for bonding of slightly irregular surfaces and helps compensate for minor gaps.
- Speeds up production and assembly processes thanks to quick, pressure-sensitive adhesion and simple application.
- Concealed fixing method that preserves the appearance of finished products with no visible screw heads or weld marks.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This premium acrylic foam tape is particularly suited to permanent, heavy-duty bonding in environments where strength, durability, and appearance are critical.
- Metal-to-metal bonding in fabrication, enclosures, and frames where mechanical fixings are not desirable.
- Signage and display mounting on metal panels and structures for a clean, flush finish.
- Automotive and transportation applications requiring vibration-damping, permanent tape bonding.
- Assembly of metal trims, brackets, nameplates, and decorative profiles.
- General industrial bonding tasks where quick, strong, and tidy adhesion is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this acrylic foam tape replace screws or rivets for metal-to-metal joints?
In many applications this tape can replace mechanical fixings, provided the joint is properly designed, surfaces are clean, and the tape width and bonding area are sufficient for the loads involved. It is best suited to static or moderate-load applications where a continuous bond line can be created.
How should I prepare the surfaces before applying the tape?
Surfaces should be dry, clean, and free from dust, oil, grease, and loose coatings. Wipe with an appropriate cleaner and allow to dry fully. Apply firm, even pressure to the tape during bonding to maximise contact and achieve the best adhesion.
Is this tape suitable for bonding materials other than metal?
Yes, it can bond well to many smooth, high surface energy materials such as painted or coated metals and some rigid plastics. However, performance can vary depending on the substrate, so it is recommended to test the tape on the specific materials and conditions before full-scale use.
