Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Double-Sided Tapes for Custom Die-Cutting
JBC Technologies is a 3M™ Preferred Converter with extensive manufacturing capabilities that range from hot roll laminating and slitting to high-speed precision rotary die-cutting. We are a premier converter of double-coated tapes for OEMs and Tier suppliers in a wide variety of industries. Double-sided tape is suitable for many applications, including gasketing, mounting, sealing, spacing, cushioning, absorption, insulating, vibration mitigation, and more.
What are Double-Sided Adhesive Tapes?
Double-sided adhesive tapes (also known as double-coated or double-faced tapes) consist of a carrier that has a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) on each side. The carrier in between the two PSA layers stabilizes the adhesive, which improves handling and enables bonding of dissimilar materials. Double-coated tapes are lower in strength compared to acrylic foam tapes but are less expensive and are suitable for a variety of non-structural applications.
What Are The Benefits of a Double-Sided Tape?
These thinner lighter weight adhesives bond on contact, creating a permanent seal. They are ideal for gap filling, vibration dampening, shock absorption, temporary and permanent bonding, thermal sealing, mounting, and more. This die cut double sided foam tape is ideal for replacing mechanical fasteners, rivets, welds, screws, acrylic and liquid adhesive. Manufacturers typically carry industrial double-sided tape in master rolls, which can then be slit to width and/or die-cut to specific shapes by converters such as JBC Technologies.
What Are the Differences Between Double-Sided Adhesive Tapes & Transfer Tapes?
When compared to transfer tapes such as 3M 6035 or 6038, double-coated tapes tend to be thicker due to the carrier layer, which also has an impact on temperature resistance.
