Use these tapes to protect your products from
the elements of destruction.Two different
backing/adhesive combinations meet demanding
applications requiring gasketing, baffling,
cushioning, and insulating.
•Vinyl foam tapes fea ture a closed cell design
to provide durability, flexibility, wea ther
resistance, and a seal against dust, light,
and moisture.
•Urethane foam tapes have an open cell and
include models with excellent cushioning
characteristics and high absorbency to trap
moisture, dust, and contaminants.
