Key Features
Gasketing & sealing: VHB also available
Acrylic foam is used in gasketing applications. It aids in preserving a water-resistant seal between the casing and rubber gasket. It facilitates filling gaps between rigid components. A seamless bond line assists in sealing out unwanted intrusion and lessens the necessity for fasteners. Also Available VHB tape.
Manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
Acrylic Foam Tape is used in gasketing applications, where it helps preserve a water-resistant seal between a casing and a rubber gasket and fills the gaps between rigid components. Because it bonds along a continuous, seamless bond line, it seals out unwanted intrusion and lessens the necessity for mechanical fasteners, which in turn removes the drilled holes, screw heads and local stress points that fasteners bring with them. The foam core is what makes this possible: it compresses to follow surfaces that are not perfectly flat or perfectly parallel, so the seal is continuous rather than intermittent. A VHB (very high bond) variant is also available for applications that need a stronger structural bond. Acrylic Foam Tape is manufactured by Lalit Jain Industries Pvt. Ltd. (LJIPL), an ISO 9001:2015 certified adhesive tape manufacturer founded in 1987, at its units in Rai, Sonipat (Haryana) and Bawana, Delhi NCR, India.
Acrylic foam is used in gasketing applications. It aids in preserving a water-resistant seal between the casing and rubber gasket, and it facilitates filling gaps between rigid components, the two jobs that most sealing tapes are bought for.
The value of a foam-cored tape here is compliance. Two rigid parts bolted together are never perfectly flat or perfectly parallel, so a rigid bond leaves gaps at the extremes. A foam core compresses differentially across the joint and keeps contact everywhere along it.
The result is a seamless bond line that assists in sealing out unwanted intrusion and lessens the necessity for fasteners. A VHB variant is also available. Acrylic foam tapes are also produced under the LKJ® HBA high bond adhesive range on the LKJ® specialty tapes site.
A screw or rivet holds at one point. A tape holds along the whole length of the joint, which spreads the load instead of concentrating it, and removes the drilled hole that a fastener needs, a hole being, in a sealing application, exactly the thing you were trying to avoid.
That is what is meant by the seamless bond line lessening the necessity for fasteners. It also gives a cleaner finished appearance, because there are no screw heads on the outside of the assembly.
Where a stronger structural bond is called for, ask about the VHB tape variant when you send your requirement.
VHB stands for very high bond. It describes a family of double-sided acrylic foam tapes intended for bonds that are structural rather than merely retaining, where the tape is expected to carry real load over the life of the assembly.
Mr.Bond® offers acrylic foam tape for gasketing and sealing, with VHB tape also available. If your application is a gasket or a gap fill between rigid components, the standard acrylic foam tape is the starting point; if the tape has to hold panels together structurally, mention that in your enquiry so the VHB variant is quoted.
Sealing and gasketing sit alongside the insulation and thermal layers mapped on the EV battery tapes hub.
Acrylic foam aids in preserving a water-resistant seal between the casing and the rubber gasket. The foam compresses where the two parts do not meet evenly, so the seal follows the joint all the way round rather than closing only at the tightest points.
Rigid parts rarely mate perfectly. Acrylic foam tape facilitates filling gaps between rigid components, taking up the variation that tolerance stack-up leaves behind and giving a continuous interface where otherwise there would be intermittent contact.
A seamless bond line assists in sealing out unwanted intrusion and lessens the necessity for fasteners. Load is spread along the joint rather than concentrated at screw holes, and the outside face of the assembly stays clean. A VHB variant is available where the bond must be structural.
It is used in gasketing applications. It aids in preserving a water-resistant seal between the casing and the rubber gasket, facilitates filling gaps between rigid components, and forms a seamless bond line that assists in sealing out unwanted intrusion and lessens the necessity for fasteners.
Because real parts are not flat. A foam core compresses by different amounts across a joint, so it stays in contact with both surfaces even where the gap varies. A film tape cannot do that, which is why gasketing and gap-filling applications specify foam.
It aids in preserving a water-resistant seal between the casing and the rubber gasket, and its seamless bond line assists in sealing out unwanted intrusion. Describe the exposure your assembly sees when you enquire so the correct grade is confirmed for your application.
Yes, VHB tape is also available. VHB stands for very high bond and describes acrylic foam tapes used where the bond is structural rather than simply retaining. Mention in your enquiry that the joint must carry load and the VHB variant will be quoted instead of the standard gasketing grade.
A seamless bond line lessens the necessity for fasteners. Unlike a screw, which holds at a single point and needs a drilled hole, the tape holds along the entire joint and spreads the load. It also leaves no fastener heads on the visible face of the assembly.
