Foam tapes are a type of pressure sensitive tape made from various foam materials, such as polyethylene, polyurethane, or PVC.
Due to their construction and conformability, foam tapes are designed to provide sealing, cushioning, and insulating properties across a wide range of applications.
One of those applications is gasketing! Foam tapes serve as effective gaskets due to their ability to conform to irregular surfaces and fill gaps, preventing moisture, dust, or air penetration.
In most scenarios, foam tapes like BT-2503 excel in applications such as vibration dampening and sealing enclosures. BT-2503, along with other closed-cell foams, can make a lifelong seal against air, moisture, light, and dust penetration. BT-2505 is a double-sided version of our BT-2503. Both products come in various thicknesses for gap filling requirements.
A common industry that utilizes single and double-sided foams tapes is building and construction.
Products like BT-1960, a window glazing tape, are a great solution for window manufacturing and replacement window installations. Foam gaskets can effectively increase energy efficiency through improved insulation.
The flexibility, durability, and versatile nature of foam tapes make them an optimal choice for gasketing applications across multiple industries!
