Acrylic Foam Tapes Acrylic Foam Tape is manufactured using a unique process of producing aCharacteristics: homogeneous system of high performance acrylic adhesive.

The product can be used for numerous applications both on the exterior and interior ofvehicles.The unique visco-elastic nature of acrylic foam gives it a high cohesive strengthcombined with excellent shock and weathering resistance. Acrylic foam tape conformsto irregular surfaces and compensates for mismatch between bonded parts. The initialadhesion increases with time to provide a durable, high performance bond between thepart and the painted substrate.Acrylic foam tapes are specially formulated to match a wide range of automotivecomponent materials and automotive paint surfaces. They have been utilised in theautomotive industry for a number of years and have proven field performance in Japanand the United States as well as Europe.
