Description
This premium very high bond foam tape is a high-performance double-sided adhesive tape designed for demanding, permanent bonding applications. Featuring a dark grey, closed-cell foam core, it offers exceptional adhesion to metals and high surface energy (HSE) materials, making it an ideal alternative to mechanical fixings in many assemblies.
With excellent temperature resistance and reliable performance under stress, this foam tape is widely used in metal fabrication, sign making, construction, automotive and general industrial manufacturing. Supplied in convenient coils in a choice of widths and lengths, it supports fast, clean installation with minimal waste.
Product Features
- Available coil widths of 12 mm, 19 mm and 25 mm to suit narrow, standard and wider bonding areas.
- Consistent 1.1 mm closed-cell foam thickness for optimal stress distribution and gap filling.
- Coil lengths of 3 m for smaller projects and 33 m for production or repeated use.
- Dark grey colour for discreet bonding on metalwork and industrial components.
- Very high bond acrylic adhesive for strong, long-term adhesion to metals and HSE substrates.
- High temperature resistance suitable for many indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.
- Supplied in roll format for easy manual application and simple storage.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a strong, permanent alternative to screws, rivets and welds, reducing finishing work and visible fixings.
- 1.1 mm foam core absorbs vibration and thermal movement, helping to protect bonded parts from stress and fatigue.
- Clean, double-sided application eliminates liquid adhesives, curing times and associated mess.
- Excellent adhesion to metals and HSE materials supports reliable bonding in industrial and construction environments.
- Multiple widths and coil lengths minimise waste and allow you to match the tape to the size of the job.
- Dark grey colour helps conceal bond lines on darker substrates for a neat, professional finish.

Applications and Ideal Uses
This very high bond foam tape is suitable for a wide range of permanent bonding and mounting tasks where high strength and temperature resistance are essential.
- Bonding metal trims, panels and stiffeners in fabrication and assembly work.
- Fixing signage, nameplates and metal badges without visible mechanical fixings.
- Mounting brackets, channels and profiles on HSE surfaces in building and shopfitting projects.
- Automotive and transport interior bonding, including panels and decorative elements.
- General industrial bonding and spacing where vibration damping and gap filling are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this very high bond foam tape replace screws or rivets?
In many applications this tape can replace mechanical fixings, provided the surfaces are properly prepared and the tape is correctly specified for the load, temperature and environmental conditions. It is intended for permanent bonds and should be tested on your specific application before full production use.
What surface preparation is recommended before applying the tape?
Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust, oil, release agents and loose coatings. Wipe the bonding area with a suitable cleaner, allow it to dry, then apply firm, even pressure to the tape during application to achieve maximum contact and bond strength.
Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?
The tape offers high temperature resistance and very strong bonding to metals and HSE materials, making it suitable for many indoor and some sheltered outdoor applications. For long-term external exposure to weather and UV, it is advisable to carry out trials or seek technical guidance for your specific environment.
