Shorter lead times and stable local capacity, without the risk of long import cycles.
High-bond foam
A High-Bond Foam Alternative Worth Testing: Acrylic Foam Tape Grade Cross-Reference
Evaluating a domestic alternative to imported high-bond foam tape? The Derun HBA series is cross-referenced to common specifications by thickness and colour. Test it on your own line before you switch.
Same test methods
Peel, holding power and loop tack measured to GB/T and ASTM methods — directly comparable data.
Low switching risk
Sample first, validate in small batches, then scale. No need to change the whole process at once.
Customisation available
Thickness, colour, width and liner to your process, including die-cut parts.

FAQ
Can acrylic foam tape replace imported high-bond foam tape?
In low- to medium-stress structural bonding, yes — but validate it by testing. The Derun HBA series offers a grade-by-grade cross-reference to common high-bond foam specifications by thickness and colour. Request samples and run peel, shear and ageing tests under your real conditions before switching.
Can acrylic foam tape replace welding and rivets?
In low- to medium-stress applications, yes. It distributes stress across the whole bond area and is used for elevator stiffeners, curtain-wall panels, automotive interior parts, nameplates and trim. Where concentrated impact occurs or the part is a primary load-bearing structure, keep the mechanical fixing.
What do the numbers and letters in an HBA grade mean?
Each grade has three parts. Taking HBA 48110G as an example: 481 is the acrylic foam series code; 10 is the adhesive thickness (two digits divided by 10 give millimetres — 10 = 1.0 mm, 05 = 0.5 mm, 20 = 2.0 mm; three digits are divided by 100, so 064 = 0.64 mm); G is the colour code (G grey / T clear / B black / W white). Some grades follow their own TDS.
