What is Acrylic foam tape?Types and Application?

Acrylic foam tape (AFT) is a relatively new industrial adhesive product that has gained in popularity over the past few years.
It is a double-sided tape made with a foam carrier material and an acrylic adhesive. The foam material provides a cushioning effect and allows for a greater degree of flexibility while maintaining optimal bond strength.

Acrylic foam tape is a popular alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners because of its numerous benefits. One of the primary advantages of AFT is its ability to bond dissimilar materials, such as metal, plastic, and glass. It also offers excellent resistance to UV, weather, and chemical degradation. Additionally, Acrylic foam tape has high peel strength, shear strength, and adhesive strength, making it an ideal choice for industrial applications that require a strong and reliable bond.

Acrylic Foam Tape is comprised of a layer of foam core that is coated with acrylic adhesive on each side, and covered by a red liner. It is stronger and will last longer, particularly in harsh conditions such as exposure to direct sunlight or extreme cold than most other tapes. Two key benefits of this adhesive tape are its strength and durability.

Indeed, acrylic foam tape has replaced screws, rivets, adhesives, and bolts in automotive, as well as other vehicles in transportation. Previously, manufacturers were forced to use metal fasteners, however, these had a number of drawbacks including the probability of rusting over time. As an alternative, this adhesive tape, which is water-tight/air-tight and rust-free, solves two problems with one solution.
