Temperature-Resistant And Die-Cuttable Felt Cushioning Tape
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Detailed Product Description
Felt cushioning tape, often made from synthetic polyester or non-woven fiber, offers reliable mechanical separation, dampening, and dust sealing in environments requiring moderate temperature resistance. Unlike foam, felt is a fibrous material providing superior abrasion resistance and a low-friction surface, making it ideal for applications involving component movement or sliding contact.
The tape's thickness and density are controlled to deliver consistent cushioning and gap filling while ensuring clean, non-fraying edges after die-cutting. Felt naturally dampens high-frequency squeaks and rattles (anti-squeak) through its fibrous structure. It is typically backed with a heat-stable acrylic adhesive, allowing it to maintain its bond strength and anti-squeak function when exposed to continuous moderate temperatures, such as those found in vehicle interiors, electronics, and small machinery.
Why Choose Us
Advantages and Core Features
- Superior Anti-Squeak Performance: The dense, fibrous structure effectively isolates and dampens high-frequency friction noise between hard surfaces, making it a critical material for high-quality, quiet automotive interiors.
- High Abrasion Resistance: Unlike soft foam, felt is highly durable against rubbing and sliding contact, protecting sensitive surfaces from scratching and maintaining its integrity in dynamic mechanical applications.
- Excellent Die-Cutting Cleanliness: Engineered for clean cutting, the material resists fraying and fuzzing, allowing for the precise, intricate shapes required for complex component placement without generating unwanted particulates.
- Consistent Temperature Stability: The synthetic felt and acrylic adhesive maintain their bond and cushioning function under continuous exposure to the temperature fluctuations commonly found in vehicle cockpits and electrical enclosures.
- Non-Abrasive Protective Barrier: Provides a soft, protective separation layer between components (e.g., between a plastic cover and a painted metal chassis), preventing cosmetic damage.
Core Features
Application Areas
- Automotive Interior Anti-Squeak: Applied between plastic trim pieces (dashboards, door panels) to eliminate friction noise caused by chassis flex and vibration.
- Slide Rail Dampening: Lining metal slide mechanisms (e.g., drawers, appliance trays) to reduce noise and provide a smooth, low-friction glide.
- Electronic Component Spacing: Used as a protective spacer for PCBs, metal shields, and lens assemblies, offering physical cushioning and dust protection.
- Gasketing (Dust/Light): Providing a seal against dust and light ingress in optical and display equipment.
- Cable and Wire Protection: Wrapping bundles of wires where they pass through sharp metal edges to prevent abrasion damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: How does felt tape eliminate squeaks and rattles?
- A: Felt tape works by physically separating the two rubbing surfaces and introducing a soft, non-abrasive material (the felt) that absorbs the micro-vibrations and friction energy, thereby eliminating the audible noise.
- Q: What is the benefit of felt over a low-density foam for anti-squeak?
- A: Felt offers higher abrasion resistance and a smoother, lower-friction surface than many foams. It is specifically preferred in dynamic applications where surfaces slide or rub against the dampening material.
- Q: Does the felt fray during die-cutting?
- A: We utilize specialized calendering and binding techniques during manufacturing and optimized cutting dies during conversion to ensure the final product has clean, consistent, and non-fraying edges.
- Q: Is this felt tape moisture resistant?
- A: Standard synthetic felt is water-absorbent (open structure). However, it is generally used in low-moisture interior environments. For water resistance, felt can be laminated with a thin polymer film barrier.
