Chem-Set Double Coated PE Foam Tape, 1/32 Inch, 72 Yard Roll

Description

This Chem-Set double coated PE foam tape is a 1/32 inch thick, white or black polyethylene foam carrier coated on both sides with a high-performance rubber adhesive. Shops that currently spec tesa tape for general mounting can drop this roll in as a direct working alternative at a lower delivered cost, with the same 72 yard roll length and none of the lead-time risk of an import specialty brand.

Where this tesa tape alternative gets used

The foam carrier conforms to slightly irregular surfaces while the rubber-based adhesive grabs fast on metal, painted panels, plastics, and other low-surface-energy substrates. Shops running nameplates, trim, signage, small die-cast parts, and general assembly mounting use this tape the same way they would spec tesa tape, just without paying a name-brand premium on a commodity foam-tape job. It also works for light sound and vibration dampening between two rigid panels.

How this tesa tape alternative performs on the bench

Clean and dry the bonding surfaces before application, apply firm roller or hand pressure across the full bond line, and give the adhesive a short dwell time before putting the joint under load. The closed-cell foam resists compression set, so it holds its bond line thickness under continuous clamping rather than flattening out over time. Because it is supplied in a full 72 yard roll, one order covers a production run without splicing shorter cut lengths together.
