Product Description
The Rubber Company supplies a comprehensive range of single-sided and double-sided self-adhesive foam tapes, designed for sealing, cushioning, insulation, mounting and vibration reduction. Our foam tapes provide a versatile solution for industrial, commercial and manufacturing applications, offering effective protection against water, air, dust, noise and environmental exposure.
We offer both open-cell and closed-cell foam tapes in a variety of materials, including PVC, polyethylene (PE), EPDM, polyurethane (PU) and neoprene. Available in soft, medium and firm densities, our tapes can be supplied in a range of colours and thicknesses starting from just 0.4 mm, depending on the material and specification.
Our pressure-sensitive adhesive foam tapes are quick and easy to install, providing a clean bonding solution without additional adhesive or drying time. For effective compression sealing, foam tapes typically require approximately 30% compression of their original thickness, although the optimum compression depends on the material and application.
We can supply custom-manufactured foam tapes in logs, rolls, bobbins, sheets, pads, discs, washers, gaskets and precision die-cut shapes. Our bespoke cutting and conversion capabilities enable us to produce foam tapes to specific dimensions and application requirements.
Single-Sided & Double-Sided Foam Tapes
Single-Sided Foam Tapes
Our single-sided self-adhesive foam tapes feature pressure-sensitive adhesive on one surface, enabling secure attachment while the exposed foam provides effective compression sealing and cushioning.
These tapes are ideal for water, air and dust sealing, gap filling, vibration reduction and surface protection. They can be supplied in various formats, including rolls, bobbins, pads, discs, washers, gaskets and bespoke die-cut shapes.
Double-Sided Foam Tapes
Our double-sided adhesive foam tapes feature adhesive on both surfaces, providing a flexible bonding and mounting solution. The compressible foam core helps accommodate minor surface irregularities while providing cushioning and vibration dampening.
These tapes are commonly used for joining components, mounting signs, attaching trims, securing panels and general industrial assembly applications.
Custom Foam Tape Manufacturing
The Rubber Company can manufacture and convert foam tapes to suit specific application requirements. Our capabilities include precision slitting, cutting and die-cutting to produce bespoke widths, lengths and shapes.
We can supply foam tapes in a range of formats, from continuous rolls and bobbins to individual pads, washers and custom gaskets.
Our team can assist with selecting suitable foam materials, densities, thicknesses and adhesive systems to meet your sealing, cushioning or mounting requirements.
FAQs
Self-adhesive foam tape is a compressible foam or sponge material with pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to one or both sides. It is commonly used for sealing, cushioning, insulation, mounting and vibration dampening. The adhesive backing enables quick installation without additional bonding products or drying time.
Single-sided foam tape has adhesive on one surface and is generally used for sealing gaps, cushioning and gasketing. Double-sided foam tape has adhesive on both surfaces, making it suitable for mounting, bonding and attaching components while accommodating minor surface irregularities.
Closed-cell foam tapes generally provide good resistance to moisture absorption and can create effective water-resistant seals when correctly specified and compressed. However, complete waterproofing depends on the foam material, adhesive system, joint design and installation conditions.
Yes. Certain foam tapes are suitable for outdoor applications. EPDM sponge rubber is particularly popular due to its excellent resistance to weathering, UV and ozone. The adhesive backing must also be suitable for outdoor exposure and the intended substrate.
Yes. We can supply bespoke foam tapes in specific widths, thicknesses and lengths, depending on material availability and manufacturing requirements. Products can be supplied as sheets, rolls, strips, die-cut shapes, gaskets or washers.
Closed-cell EPDM, PVC and other suitable sponge foam tapes are commonly used for door and window sealing. The correct choice depends on the gap dimensions, required compression, exposure conditions and adhesive compatibility with the frame material.
Yes. Different pressure-sensitive adhesive systems can be specified depending on the foam material, substrate and operating conditions. Important considerations include initial tack, long-term adhesion, temperature resistance and environmental exposure.
