A clean fixing method can make a noticeable difference to the finished appearance of a product or installation. Double sided foam tape provides adhesive on both sides of a foam carrier, allowing materials to be joined without relying on conventional visible fixings. STIKON supplies a range of industrial-grade foam tapes for different mounting and bonding requirements.
STIKON's foam tape range includes PE foam products with different thicknesses, densities and adhesive systems. These variations are important because the requirements of a sign, badge, panel or other component can be very different. A tape suitable for a lightweight indoor application may not be the right choice for a demanding outdoor installation.
Why Foam Construction Matters
The foam carrier has a practical role beyond simply holding the adhesive. STIKON's S-Mount Premium products use high-density closed-cell PE foam with high-shear acrylic adhesive. The foam can help accommodate slight variations between surfaces, while the adhesive is designed for long-term bonding.
For applications exposed to changing conditions, certain double-sided foam tapes from STIKON offer resistance to moisture, UV and temperature fluctuations. This makes them suitable for selected indoor and outdoor mounting requirements.
Different Tapes for Different Jobs
The STIKON range includes double-sided foam tapes for signs, badges, trims and mirrors, alongside products intended for more general mounting work. There are also foam tapes available in different widths and thicknesses, making it possible to select a format that suits the application rather than adapting the project around the tape.
For lighter mounting tasks, STIKON also supplies a 1mm white PE foam tape with a softer closed-cell structure. This version adapts readily to curved, uneven and textured surfaces and is intended for applications such as cable trunking, splashbacks, signage, crafts and POS work.
A Practical Mounting Option
Another advantage of double sided foam tape is the clean appearance it can provide after installation. There are no screw heads or other obvious mechanical fixings across the bonded area, which can be particularly useful for signs, displays and components where appearance matters.
STIKON can also provide foam tapes in customised formats, including slit rolls and die-cut products. For businesses using tape as part of an assembly process, having the correct width, thickness or shape can make application more straightforward.
Choosing the right double sided foam tape ultimately comes down to the surfaces, environment and purpose of the bond. STIKON's range provides several options to help customers match the tape to the job.
