High Density PE Foam Tapes
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Detailed Product Description
High-Density PE (Polyethylene) Foam Tapes are versatile, closed-cell foam products characterized by their robust structural rigidity, excellent cushioning properties, and resistance to moisture and many common chemicals. The PE foam carrier is chemically cross-linked (IXPE or XPE) to achieve a uniform, fine-cell structure and high density (typically 100 to 200 kg/m³), which provides superior dimensional stability and compression resistance compared to low-density foams.
These tapes function primarily as a structural gasket, mounting material, or gap filler. Their high internal strength prevents 'creep' or permanent collapse, making them suitable for applications requiring long-term structural support or sustained sealing pressure. The adhesive backing (often an aggressive rubber or modified acrylic) is selected for high initial tack and reliable adhesion to substrates like metal, wood, and concrete, leveraging the foam's strength for durable, permanent attachment.
The closed-cell nature ensures near-zero water absorption, making them a material of choice for outdoor and high-humidity applications where material stability and resistance to degradation are crucial.
Why Choose Us
Advantages and Core Features
- Sustained Structural Integrity: The high density and cross-linked nature of the foam ensure low compression set, meaning the tape maintains its original thickness and sealing pressure over extended periods, providing enduring structural support.
- Exceptional Moisture Barrier: The highly effective closed-cell structure results in minimal water absorption, preventing moisture-related degradation and ensuring reliability in high-humidity or outdoor environments.
- Excellent Chemical Stability: Polyethylene is chemically inert, offering strong resistance to many acids, solvents, and common cleaning agents, making it a robust choice for industrial applications.
- High Adhesion on Difficult Surfaces: Frequently paired with aggressive, high-tack rubber adhesives that achieve immediate and strong bonds to rough, porous, or irregular surfaces like unpainted wood and concrete.
- Durable Edge and Tear Resistance: The high material strength allows the tape to resist tearing or crumbling during installation, ensuring the gasket or pad maintains its precise shape.
- Cost-Effective Performance: Offers a balance of structural support, weather resistance, and sealing performance at a lower material cost than comparable EPDM or Neoprene foams, optimizing material spend.
Core Features
Application Areas
- Architectural Glazing Tapes: Used as a primary or secondary seal in window and curtain wall construction, providing sustained pressure and water resistance.
- Transportation and Caravan Sealing: Gasketing roof vents, access hatches, and body seams in RVs and heavy trucks due to its UV and moisture resistance.
- Retail POP/Signage Mounting: Structurally mounting permanent point-of-purchase displays and dimensional letters to walls and shelves.
- White Goods Assembly: Used for spacing, gasketing, and structural support between metal and plastic components in refrigerators and ovens.
- Joint Filling and Leveling: Filling expansion joints in concrete or leveling uneven component surfaces prior to permanent mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: In which application should I choose high-density PE over EPDM foam?
- A: High-density PE foam is a more cost-effective choice when the application requires high structural rigidity, minimal water absorption, and chemical resistance, but does not require the superior UV and heat resistance of EPDM.
- Q: Can high-density PE foam be used for permanent mounting that supports a load?
- A: Yes, the high internal strength and low compression set allow it to be used for load-bearing applications like mounting signage or mirror panels, provided the adhesive is appropriately selected for high shear and peel strength.
- Q: Does the closed-cell nature affect its acoustic properties?
- A: Yes, being closed-cell means it is a poor sound absorber (low NRC). However, its density and elasticity make it a good material for sound dampening and blocking (barrier) applications.
- Q: How do you prevent the foam from deforming under long-term sustained compression?
- A: We use chemically cross-linked PE (IXPE), which has strong molecular bonds that resist permanent deformation (low compression set) even under continuous pressure, ensuring the gasket maintains its seal over many years.
