Below is information about the types of double sided tape that we carry.

Double Sided Foam Tapes

Double sided foam tape has a foam core that allows the tape to conform to uneven surfaces and absorb vibrations. We have three types of foam tape:

Double Sided Polyester (PET) Tape

Polyester backings on double sided tapes provide excellent strength and durability, as well as high tensile strength (also known as breaking strength). We have several double sided polyester tapes:

Double Sided Cloth Tape

Cloth backings on double sided tapes provide flexibility and strength, and they allow the tape to conform to irregular surfaces. Our DC-W188F tape is a removable carpet tape, with a rubber adhesive.

Double Sided Paper Tape

Double sided paper tape is lightweight and works well for temporary applications and/or lightweight mounting and bonding. Our DC-T274A tape is a frosty clear tape, with an acrylic adhesive.

Double Sided Tape With Acrylic Adhesive

Acrylic adhesives on double sided tapes are known for their strong bonding properties and durability. We have a wide selection of double sided tapes with acrylic adhesive:

Double Sided Tape With Rubber Adhesive

Rubber adhesives on double sided tapes provide quick tack and an initial strong bond. We have two double sided tapes with rubber adhesive:

Double Sided Tape For Temporary Hold

Temporary hold, double sided tape is designed for short-term applications, when you want items to be securely held, but you also want to be able to remove the tape later without leaving residue or damaging surfaces. Our DC-K048A tape is a strong, double sided tape that provides a temporary hold. We also have a removable carpet tape, DC-W188F.

Double Sided Tape For Permanent Hold

Permanent hold, double sided tape has a high-tack adhesive that’s designed for long-lasting, durable bonds. We have a variety of double sided, permanent hold tapes:

Clear Double Sided Tape

Clear double sided tape is transparent, which makes it ideal when you need a clean look. We have a number of clear double sided tapes for permanent mounting and bonding:

Cold Weather Double Sided Tape

Cold weather double sided tape is specially formulated to be applied and bond in low-temperature environments where other double sided tapes might not work. Our DC-M194A has an application temperature range of -4°F to 176°F and a service temperature range of -40°F to 176°F.

Indoor And Outdoor Double Sided Tape

Indoor/outdoor double sided tape can be used inside and outside. This type of tape features a robust adhesive that can withstand various weather conditions, including temperature fluctuations and UV exposure. Our indoor/outdoor tapes also happen to be our strongest, most heavy-duty tapes:

Double Sided Tape For Lightweight Mounting And Bonding

The holding power of double sided tape refers to its ability to maintain a bond under a specified load, and it’s typically measured in terms of ounces or pounds per inch. The specific holding power that you’ll need depends on the weight of the item you’re bonding and the types of surfaces.  We have double sided tapes that are ideal for lightweight mounting and bonding:

Double Sided Tape For Heavy Duty Mounting And Bonding

We also have heavy duty double sided tapes for heavier, more demanding applications.
