Acrylic Foam Tape (high-bond acrylic foam tape for structural bonding)
Acrylic foam tape is an ultra-high-bond structural bonding tape made from a closed-cell acrylic foam carrier coated on both sides with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive. Derun's HBA series covers 0.25–3.0 mm in grey, white, clear and black, with holding power of ≥24 h at 80 °C, and is used to replace screws, rivets and welding in automotive, electronics, construction and new-energy assembly.
Also called: acrylic foam tape, high-bond acrylic foam tape
Thickness, colour, width and release liner (white glassine paper / red PE release film) can all be customised.

FAQ
What is the difference between acrylic foam tape and ordinary double-sided tape?
The carrier and the way load is carried. Acrylic foam tape uses a closed-cell acrylic foam carrier with real thickness and elasticity: it fills gaps and absorbs stress and vibration — that is structural bonding. Ordinary double-sided tape is mostly a thin film carrier, suitable only for flat lamination, with far lower shear and peel capability.
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.
Should I choose 0.4 mm or 1.0 mm?
It depends on the gap and the stress. Flat surfaces, small gaps and low load → 0.4 mm is more economical. Curved or uneven surfaces, gaps to fill, vibration or impact → 1.0 mm or thicker, so the foam can absorb the stress.
Can it be applied at low winter temperatures?
Apply above 15 °C. Below 10 °C the initial tack of acrylic adhesive drops noticeably. Avoid loading the bond for 24 hours; final strength is typically reached after 72 hours.
Will it bond to PP or PE?
Not without pre-treatment. PP and PE are low-surface-energy materials; untreated bond strength is very low. Corona, flame or primer treatment is required first, and we will run peel tests with you to confirm the solution.
How long until the bond reaches final strength?
Initial tack develops as soon as the tape is applied under pressure. Avoid loading for 24 hours; final bond strength is usually reached after 72 hours. The lower the temperature, the longer it takes.
