Foam tape is a tape made of foam material as the base and coated with adhesive. It is widely used in sealing, sound insulation, cushioning, earthquake resistance and other scenarios. According to its different foam materials (such as PE foam, PU foam, EVA foam, etc.) and adhesive types (such as acrylic, rubber-based adhesives, etc.), foam tape can meet different application requirements.
Main parameters and characteristics:
Material: Common foam tapes are composed of foam materials such as polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). These materials have good flexibility, compressibility and sealing properties.
Adhesive: The adhesive of foam tape is usually acrylic, rubber-based, etc., which have strong initial adhesion and long-term adhesion, and can ensure good weather resistance, temperature resistance and waterproofness.
Thickness and density: The thickness of foam tape is generally between 0.5mm and 10mm, and customization can be provided according to actual needs. The density of the foam directly affects the compressibility, sound insulation and earthquake resistance of the tape.
Temperature resistance: The temperature resistance range of high-performance foam tape is usually -40°C to +90°C. Some special products can reach a wider temperature range and adapt to extreme environments.
Weather resistance: High-quality foam tape has good weather resistance to ultraviolet rays, moisture, pollutants in the air, etc., and is suitable for outdoor use.
Compressibility: Foam tape has a certain degree of compressibility, which can fill irregular surfaces and form a tight sealing layer to prevent the entry of air, dust, moisture, etc.
Scope of application and application areas:
Sealing and sound insulation: It is widely used in the automotive industry, construction industry and home appliance industry to seal and waterproof, dustproof and soundproof. For example, the use of foam tape between parts such as car windows, door frames, air conditioning equipment, etc. can effectively isolate air, noise and moisture.
Electrical and electronic industry: It is used in the assembly of electronic products such as mobile phones, televisions, and home appliances to play a role in shockproof, heat insulation, sealing, and dustproof. In high-precision products, foam tape can also prevent direct contact between electronic components and reduce damage caused by vibration.
Construction and decoration: In building installation, foam tape can be used as a sealing material for doors and windows, and as a material for isolating glass window frames from walls. For exterior wall decoration, foam tape can also provide effective waterproofing and thermal insulation.
Transportation and packaging: Used for shock absorption during transportation, especially in the packaging of fragile items, foam tape can effectively protect items from impact damage.
Automotive industry: In automobile manufacturing, foam tape is used to seal doors and windows, headlights, bodywork and other parts to reduce noise and improve the air tightness of the car.
