Acrylic Foam Tape
AFT™ is a specialty double-coated acrylic adhesive foam tape aka "High Bond Tape" that is designed for high-performance bonding applications. These highly versatile tapes are applicable in a wide range of applications in different temperatures and industrial sectors.
AFT™ tapes are able to resist extreme temperatures of between -40°C to 150°C (short-term) which makes them most suitable for outdoor use. Due to its visco-elastic property and closed cell structure, it is able to absorb impact and provides dampening function. It is able to repel moisture and water when used in outdoor and high-stress load applications.
These AFT™ tapes are especially suitable for bonding to materials like metals, glass, and plastics (except PP, PE, Teflon, and Silicone). It is widely used for applications that include automotive, construction, metal fabrication, escalators, lift doors, signage, and electronics.
Grey Foam Tape Series
AFT™ Grey Foam Tape Series are double-coated adhesive tape that is designed with visco-elastic foam that can withstand stress load, thermal expansion, and severe weather resistance when used for bonding between substrates. This grey foam tape is an alternative to screws, rivets, or even tack welds that will permanently bond substrates together and at the same time provide an even stress load distribution along the entire length of the joint. The range of grey foam tape comprises AFT 1080GF, AFT 1120GF & AFT 1200GF with thickness of 0.8mm, 1.2mm, and 2mm respectively.

Technical Data Sheets
Directions
Surface Treatment
- Wipe off contaminants of oil, grimes, and dust from adherend surfaces.
- Smooth surfaces should be lightly abraded with fine abrasive paper to create hairline scratches.
- Wipe surfaces clean with IPA mixed with water (50/50 ratio)
- Leave it to dry before applying the adhesive tape.
- For difficult-to-bond materials, use a suitable Primer to promote adhesion.
Application Method
- Apply the tape starting from one end of the substrate making sure that no air is trapped during this process to the end.
- Use a squeegee or J-roller and run over the entire length of the tape with hand pressure.
- Remove the PE tape liner to expose the foam tape and place it on the opposite side of the bonding substrate.
- Only apply press-down pressure when the interface substrates are in the correct position.
- Use a mallet or hand pressure to ensure contact pressure is sustained throughout the length of the bonding substrates.
- Allow the tape to set and reach optimum strength after 72 hours.
Storage & Handling Methods
- Do not store tapes above 40°C environment.
- Keep tapes in a clean and dust-free environment.
- Keep away from direct sunlight contact.
- Always store tape in a plastic wrapper when not in use.
- Do not let the tape sit on another tape without any release liner dividing it.
White Foam Tape Series
AFT™ White Foam Tape Series are double-coated acrylic foam tape that provides high overlap shear and structural strength for bonding to materials, like metals, plastics, and glass. This visco-elastic, closed-cell foam tape has good dampening and all-weather resistance properties when applied for outdoor bonding applications. Unlike using screws, the stress load is evenly distributed along the length of the bonding. It presents good aesthetic appeal with no unsightly rivets being visible on the front facade when used for panel bonding. The range of white foam tapes is AFT 2064WF & AFT 2120WF.
Features
- Instant bonding to substrates.
- Bonds to most materials like metals, plastics, composites, and glass.
- Has good elongation that provides dampening properties.
- Provides even stress distribution.
- Excellent water resistance.
- Withstand temperature between -10°C to 90°C (+120ºC intermittent).
- Withstand outdoor extreme temperatures,

Clear Foam Tape Series
AFT™ Clear Foam Tape Series is a clear acrylic adhesive extrusion that has characteristics similar to colored acrylic tapes. This extremely tacky clear tape is able to bond to most substrates, especially for glass and clear acrylic and plastics almost instantly upon contact. It has good UV resistance and the ability to withstand impact and stress load when used for bonding outdoor signages. Due to its clarity, AFT 3100CF is well suited for bonding transparent parts for aesthetic appeal.
