Single-sided foam tape
and sponge tape manufacturer, Atlantic Gasket Corporation, produces
adhesive tapes starting at 1/32” thk. up to 1” thk. With our precision
slitting equipment we are capable of slitting rolls as narrow as
1/8” wide and any roll width up to and including 54” wide. For applications
that require a custom cut length that is 36” or less, we utilize
high speed die
cutting equipment for a perfect fit every time. And, depending
on the roll width and thickness, our single-sided foam tapes can
be supplied on 3” dia. cores and rolls up to 200 feet in length.
Whether used for cushioning, weatherstriping or other
sealing applications, single-sided foam tape can be used on an endless
variety of products. Below is a general listing of popular materials
that we use to manufacture single-sided foam and sponge tapes:
| |
|
| Cross-Linked
Polyethylene Foam |
Offers good mechanical properties, good thermal
insulation, excellent chemical resistance, and low water absorption. |
| Polyurethane
Open Cell Foam |
Is an UL94-recognized foam designed for dust
seals, spacers, and cushioning applications. |
| PVC Foam |
Is conformable, UV resistant, and strong and
widely used to seal out air, moisture, light, and dust. |
| Closed Cell
Neoprene Sponge |
Offers good resistance to acid, alkali, gasoline,
and oil. |
| Closed Cell
EPDM Sponge |
Offers excellent ozone resistance and performs
well in applications where temperatures can range from 90
to 275°F. |
| Closed Cell
Nitrile (Buna-N) Sponge |
Offers excellent fuel resistance and UV resistance
and performs well in applications where temperatures can range
from 40 to +200°F. |
| PVC/Nitrile
Closed Cell Sponge |
Is a fire rated closed cell sponge, which can
be used in the construction industry as insulation. This material
also works well in applications that require a shock absorbing
material. |
| Closed Cell
Silicone Sponge |
Offers excellent flame, ozone, and UV resistances
and is ideal for applications where temperatures can range from
103 to 450°F. |
| Open Cell Sponge
|
Is excellent for cushioning applications and
does not take a compression set. |
