Tape

Applications of tape

Tape can be applied to solve a wide range of problems. It can be used for mounting elements either temporarily or permanently, as well as to absorb vibrations. There are different types of tape, which can be split into double-sided tape and single-sided tape. At EKI we currently sell two different types of double-sided tape, namely double-sided tape and double-sided foam tape. Tape can be made from a range of materials such as PP, PET or PVC, but there are also other types such as fleece tape and textile tape. Foam tape is usually made of polyethylene foam with a layer of adhesive, covered with a release liner that is removed when the tape is applied. The tape we sell at EKI is mostly used for industrial solutions and construction applications. For example, it is used to hold parts in cars or electrical appliances in place, and is also widely used in building and facade structures. Depending on the specific properties of the material, it also dissipates tension through its viscoelastic action. In addition, it can prevent oxidation and can resist UV radiation, moisture, chemicals and ageing.

Types of tape

Double-sided tape

At EKI, we affix double-sided tape to our self-adhesive materials, among other things, but we also sell it separately for use in mounting elements. We sell the tape in different grades including for mounting only, for more permanent adhesion, and for use on more difficult surfaces such as those with low surface tension.

Double-sided foam tape

Double-sided foam tape is mainly used for mounting elements where shock absorption is desired, such as hanging a mirror. Because foam tape is somewhat thicker, it is flexible and adapts more easily to rough and uneven surface texture.
