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 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.
