High bond acrylic tape from Two Face Tape Company is made for industrial mounting where clean finish, long-term holding power, and stable bonding are required. This pressure sensitive acrylic foam tape is used for automotive trim, emblems, signs, metal panels, glass panels, composite panels, painted parts, powder-coated surfaces, and selected rigid plastics. We supply master rolls, slit rolls, strips, pads, kiss-cut parts, and die-cut pieces according to substrate, part design, load direction, temperature, and process.

High Bond Acrylic Tape is selected when ordinary double-sided tape cannot provide enough strength, flexibility, or aging stability. The acrylic foam core adds strength and stress relaxation, helping absorb surface mismatch, vibration, and thermal expansion. The adhesive bonds by contact pressure, so production teams can reduce curing time, drilled holes, visible screws, rivets, weld marks, and adhesive overflow.
This category is often reviewed for automotive accessories, signs, display frames, metal panels, glass panels, and composite panel mounting. Before choosing a grade, confirm the substrate, coating type, bonded area, application pressure, load direction, working temperature, outdoor exposure, cleaning method, and whether primer is allowed. These details matter more than tape thickness alone.
Product Range / Covered Products
The product range includes clear, gray, black, low surface energy assisted, and die-cut assembly grades. Clear acrylic foam tape is preferred where the bond line should remain less visible, such as glass signs, acrylic panels, PMMA parts, and display frames. Sample checking reviews trapped air, haze, edge clarity, and appearance. Gray and black grades are common for automotive trim, emblems, side molding, painted parts, dark panels, and exterior accessories. These parts should be checked against curve recovery force, thermal cycling, outdoor exposure, and edge lifting after dwell time. LSE assisted grades fit selected PP, TPO, textured plastic, and some powder-coated parts after primer comparison. Die-cut grades support badges, brackets, panel clips, and repeated placement.
Selection Guide
A good selection starts with the real bonding surface. Glass, aluminum, stainless steel, PC, PMMA, and many painted metals usually allow better adhesive wet-out after cleaning. PP, TPO, PE, textured plastics, silicone-contaminated and powder-coated finishes are more difficult because surface energy and coating chemistry may vary. For these materials, confirm a dedicated grade, primer option, or surface treatment before bulk use.
The second step is to understand how the part will carry force. A vertical strip needs static shear review. Moving vehicle trim, outdoor signs, or equipment panels should also be checked for dynamic shear, peel adhesion, vibration, thermal cycling, and edge lifting. Thicker acrylic foam helps with minor gaps and curved trims, while die-cut parts support repeatable placement.
Benefits
- Spreads stress across the bonded area instead of concentrating force around one screw, rivet, or drilled hole.
- Creates a cleaner appearance where visible fasteners, weld marks, or adhesive overflow are not acceptable.
- The foam core supports vibration damping and minor surface mismatch.
- Suitable grades can be reviewed for UV resistance, moisture resistance, thermal cycling, and outdoor aging.
- Available as master rolls, slit rolls, strips, die-cut pads, kiss-cut parts, or pieces with liner tabs.
- Factory validation can include 24-72 h dwell observation, peel test, static shear, dynamic shear, and edge lifting.
When Is High Bond Acrylic Tape a Better Choice Than Mechanical Fastening?
When is high bond acrylic tape a better choice than mechanical fastening? It is useful when an assembly needs stable holding strength without drilling, riveting, welding, or exposed fasteners. In automotive trim, signage panels, metal cladding, glass panels, and composite panels, the tape spreads force across a wider bonding area. It is practical when appearance, vibration resistance, and outdoor aging matter. Before production, check peel strength, shear, thermal cycling, dwell-time performance, and edge lifting on the actual substrate.

Applications
- Automotive trim attachment, side molding, exterior badges, roof trim, pillar appliques, and decorative strips.
- Signage panels, acrylic letters, metal signs, glass signs, display frames, and transparent panel bonding.
- Composite panels, aluminum profiles, stainless steel covers, painted metal parts, and equipment panels.
- Appliance decorative parts, rigid plastic part mounting, display housings, and frame bonding.
- Powder-coated components and selected low surface energy plastics after primer or grade confirmation.
- Transportation assemblies where vibration, thermal cycling, UV exposure, and outdoor aging matter.
Customization Options
Two Face Tape Company can adjust width, length, thickness, liner, color, adhesive grade, slitting tolerance, die-cut shape, and liner tab design according to the assembly process. For repeat production, useful details include substrate, coating, bonded area, part weight, load direction, temperature, outdoor exposure, cleaning method, and primer allowance. For curved edges, raised ribs, small contact areas, or narrow bonding lines, a drawing or sample helps confirm tape width, foam thickness, liner release, waste removal, and placement tolerance.
How Should the Right Acrylic Foam Tape Grade Be Confirmed Before Production?
How should the right acrylic foam tape grade be confirmed before production? The grade should match the foam core, adhesive system, thickness, color, liner, and surface compatibility to the final process. Smooth metals, glass, painted panels, and many medium or high surface energy plastics may use a general grade after cleaning and pressure application. Powder-coated parts, automotive clearcoat, PP, TPO, textured plastic, or LSE substrates may need a dedicated adhesive or primer-assisted process. Practical checks include liner removal feel, hand lamination, dwell comparison, edge lifting, peel testing, and shear load testing.
FAQ
What is high bond acrylic tape mainly used for?
It is mainly used for industrial mounting on automotive trim, emblems, side molding, signage panels, metal panels, glass panels, composite panels, painted metal, and selected rigid plastics.
Can this tape replace screws or rivets?
It can reduce or replace screws, rivets, welding, or liquid adhesive in suitable designs, but results depend on substrate, bonded area, load direction, temperature, dwell time, and testing.
Does acrylic foam tape need primer?
Primer is not always needed on clean glass, metal, or many painted surfaces. It may help PP, TPO, powder-coated surfaces, textured plastics, or other low surface energy substrates.
How long should the tape dwell before testing?
A common factory practice is to apply pressure, allow 24-72 h dwell time, and then check peel adhesion, shear, edge lifting, and thermal cycling.
