A double-sided tape has pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides, allowing two parts to be bonded together by the tape between them. The carrier that holds the adhesive can range from a thin film to a thick foam that helps dampen vibrations. Here are some key points about double-sided tape:
-
Types of Double-Sided Tape:
- Foam Tapes: Examples include 3M™ VHB™ Tape, which demonstrates high strength and long-lasting bonds1.
- Thin Bonding Tapes: These tapes are suitable for various applications and substrates.
- Nano Double-Sided Adhesive Tape: Extra-large, clear mounting tape for picture hanging and other uses.
- Scotch-Mount Indoor Double-Sided Mounting Tape: Features 3M industrial strength adhesive for no-mess bonding2.
