Good Quality Foam Tape
Due to this extrusion process as opposed to conventional coating and laminating techniques used for double sided tapes, acrylic foam tapes are not prone to internal splitting of material layers.

In technical terms, the cohesive strength of acrylic foam tape is much greater than that of a conventional foam tape.

Good quality foam tape is made with carefully blended acrylic adhesives which are extruded accurately to various thicknesses, and further processed to enhance specific features.

Industries that benefit from using acrylic foam tapes include:

> Automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturing
> Automotive after-market
> Aerospace
> Building
> Construction
> Glass laminating
> Mounting and assembly of signs and displays
> Electronics
> Flat screen assembly
> DIY
> Crafts

Acrylic adhesive tapes are unique in many ways and are finding their way to an ever increasing number of technically as well as aesthetically demanding applications.

Acrylic Foam Tapes and many other Adhesive Tape products are available exclusively from SK Direct UK.

The Uses of Self Adhesive Tapes
Self adhesive tapes can be used for any number of needs. From craft design and office stationary to industrial and manufacturing uses.

Self Adhesive tapes are actually quite amazing!

The phenomenon of adhesion - a physical-chemical process that occurs at the interface between the adhesive and the solid surface. In science, for it uses the term - adhesion, so the substances used as components of the adhesive layer, called adhesive.
But what type of tapes are available to you?



Acrylic Foam Tape
- Acrylic Foam Tape, or VHB, is a permanent extruded adhesive for bonding Metals, Plastics, Composites and Ceramics, and is available in multiple thicknesses

Bag Sealing tape
- The adhesive is a sophisticated high tack acrylic which, once sealed, will tear the bag at any attempt of opening, even on more difficult and thicker gauge films.

Banner Tape
- This PET carrier tape has a High Tack solvent acylic adhesive system, is UV Resistant and sticks well to rough and smooth surfaces. Ideal alternative to Banner stitching, Quick and Easy application.

Cloth Tape
- This great all-round tape known as Cloth Tape, Duct Tape or Gaffer Tape finds its use in endless applications. Building industries, around the house, garden, in the toolbox, on the job, in the car, boat and caravan. Quick repairs that involve holding, fixing, bundling and masking. Premium quality 80 mesh polythene coated cloth tape with a UV stabilised adhesive system is strong, versatile, hand-tear and without adhesive residue when removed.

Conductive Tape
- Electrically conductive tapes are applied to copper, aluminium conductive fabrics and conductive gaskets in order to add adhesion while retaining conductive properties (normal adhesive systems would act as an isolator).

Double Sided Tape
- Excellent products for demanding industrial applications but equally handy for smaller needs such as crafts, fashion, photography and art.

Estape
- Estape is an innovative design of a stationary / packaging tape. Convenient and easy to use, Estape finds uses in many environments including packing, stationary, tabbing, etc.

Foam Tape
- Tapes with a foam carrier, foam tapes, can absorb vibration and avoid resonation between substrates. It can act as a void fill or barrier to make an item gas-, liquid- or airtight. Also it can follow the contours of an uneven surface thus achieving full contact of the adhesive with the surface, adhesive wetout. Important specification of a foam tape is its density. Low density foams are cheaper, but have a tendency to tear under stress. Most will recognise the remains of split foam after a kitchen or towel hook has come off the wall. Low density foam tapes can be preferential when thickness, absorption, conformity and/or m²-cost have priority over internal strength. The automotive industry has set the benchmark for better quality foam tapes with high densities for reliably mounting, trims and badges on a vehicle’s body.

Number Plate Tape - High-spec Technical/Industrial Adhesive Foam tapes converted.

Security Bag Tape
- Security bags, or tamper evident bags, have become the norm in various areas where sensitive goods are taken from one place to another. Most typical example would be the security bags used at duty free shops in airports. Other areas include money bags, document and postal bags, election ballot papers, etc.

Security Labels
- In a world where Security and Confidentiality are of paramount importance there is an urgent need for reliable Tamper Evident products that reveal evidence behind unauthorised entry.

Security Tape - These Tamper Evident Tapes offer a simple and cost effective method to reveal evidence of anybodies attempt to tamper with your goods. Removing the tape exposes a security message, either our standard OPENED VOID or your own customised text. Custom designs for additional security can include a unique surface print, custom void message, perforations for easy tear-off, sequential numbering and UV-tracers.

Tissue Tape
- Double sided Tissue Tapes with high-tack Solvent Acrylic adhesives for durability, resistance and high initial grab. Non-woven carrier. Often these tapes are used as a clean and convenient solution to make otherwise non-adhesive materials self adhesive.

Transfer Tape
- These products are suitable for lamination adding high performance bonding properties to materials such as foams and rubber. Also typically for permanently mounting nameplates and badges.
