Characteristics and Application of Automotive Foam Tape Substrate

Automotive foam tape substrates are divided into IXPE foam, XPE foam, high foam PE foam, EVA foam, acrylic foam, etc. Among them, IXPE automotive foam tape is the most widely used. White or black foam is used as the substrate, and red, green or blue PE release film is used as the release.

Application of Automotive Foam Tape Substrate

Composition of IXPE automotive foam tape:

  • Tape substrate: IXPE foam is used as the substrate, the thinnest thickness can be 0.1mm (thinner than ordinary A4 paper), and common thicknesses are 1mm, 2mm, etc. The density is mainly 20 times foaming.
  • IXPE Foam Tape: IXPE foam tape can be attached with centrifugal membrane, centrifugal paper, etc.;
  • Tape adhesive: It can be single-sided or double-sided, and there are several types of adhesive, namely oil adhesive, water adhesive, hot melt adhesive, acrylic adhesive, etc.

Performance characteristics of IXPE automotive foam tape substrate:

IXPE is also known as electronic cross-linked polyethylene foam material. Its characteristics are smooth surface, closed-cell foaming, uniform and fine pores, and stable physical properties. The specific performance is as follows:

Automotive Foam Tape Substrate
  • Thermal insulation: IXPE automotive foam tape substrate has a closed-cell structure. Its fine independent bubble structure can prevent energy exchange caused by air convection. IXPE foam material is usually used to make insulation pipes, insulation boards, etc., and because IXPE material has anti-condensation performance, it is widely used in the insulation and heat insulation fields of refrigerators, air conditioners and cold storages. It can be seen that IXPE foam is very suitable for the substrate of automotive foam tape.
  • Buffering: IXPE foam is a semi-rigid foam. It does not lose its recovery performance after strong impact and has good buffering. It has been used in the packaging of precision instruments, semiconductors, electronic products and other fields. As the substrate of automotive foam tape, IXPE foam can make the tape have certain anti-collision and buffering functions.
  • Sound insulation: IXPE foam material has the function of sound insulation and noise reduction, and is suitable for sound insulation materials in strong noise equipment and environments such as automobiles, motors, and engines.
  • Easy to form: IXPE has strong heat resistance, good ductility, uniform density, and can realize vacuum forming and thermoforming and other deep parts forming, so it can be used for automotive air conditioning evaporation cabinets, automotive hot pressing ceilings and other interior parts and shoe materials.
  • Other properties: In addition, IXPE foam material is also non-toxic, odorless, resistant to chemicals, oil, acid, halogen and other types of chemicals, and is very easy to process and can be cut at will; IXPE is bonded with a variety of materials as a new generation of high-efficiency energy-saving and environmentally friendly materials. It is precisely because of the above characteristics of IXPE that it has become the only choice for automotive foam tape substrates.
Application of Automotive Foam Tapes Substrate

Characteristics and applications of automotive foam tape:

Automobile foam tape has strong adhesion, good weather resistance, waterproof, solvent resistance, anti-aging, and elastic foam substrate, providing excellent adhesion to uneven surfaces.

Widely used in automotive interiors, door trims, rain shields, signboards, etc. Strong adhesion, good shock absorption, and strong weather resistance. Bonding between car and motorcycle signs, household appliances, engineering decoration, curtain wall structural bonding and fixing.

Bonding and fixing of automotive decorative strips, automotive glass, automotive pedals, sealing strips, corrugated plates, wheel arcs, baffles, brake lights, and embedded panels in the car.

PE foam tape is based on PE foam, coated with high-efficiency oily acrylic glue on both sides, with elastic foam substrate, strong adhesion, good weather resistance, waterproof, solvent resistance, anti-aging, and provides excellent adhesion to uneven surfaces. Suitable for the electronics industry, furniture industry, metal, automotive interior and exterior decoration, logos, famous brands, accessories, etc.
