PE foam tape is a tape with high-molecular foam material as the base material and double-sided coating of high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive (acrylic adhesive or rubber adhesive). It has excellent weather resistance, cushioning, sound absorption and other characteristics, and is widely used in electronic appliances, automotive interiors, medical protection and other fields. EVA foam tape is an environmentally friendly material with stronger shockproof and moisture-proof properties, and is non-toxic and odorless, suitable for export products and application scenarios with high environmental protection requirements.
By comparison, it can be seen that PE foam tape is more suitable for applications that require weather resistance and strong bonding performance, while EVA foam tape is suitable for higher requirements of environmental protection and shockproof packaging. Regardless of the type of foam tape, Shanghai Toptape can provide customers with customized services of various thicknesses, densities and shapes to meet the needs of different fields.
Everyone knows that PE foam and EVA foam are both foam materials, but different foams have different characteristics. So what are the differences between these two foams? Shanghai Toptape will give you a brief introduction below.
Difference between PE foam and EVA foam
To understand the difference between PE foam tape and EVA foam tape, you must first understand the difference between PE foam and EVA foam:
PE foam
PE foam tape is made of polymer foam material as the base material, with high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive (such as acrylic adhesive or rubber adhesive) coated on both sides of the surface, and compounded with single-silicon or double-silicon release material. PE foam can be processed into different thicknesses, densities, shapes and colors through rolls or die-cutting, providing a variety of options. Due to its excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance, cushioning performance, sound absorption effect and excellent adhesion, it is widely used in many industries such as electronics, home decoration, automotive interior, medical protection and precision machinery.
EVA foam
EVA foam is a new type of environmentally friendly plastic packaging material. EVA rubber and plastic products are designed and processed to have better shockproof performance than traditional packaging materials such as polystyrene (foam). Compared with traditional shockproof packaging, EVA foam can be cut and formed; because of its large density difference, it can be more widely used and more in line with environmental protection requirements. It has good moisture-proof and heat-insulating, cushioning, chemical corrosion resistance and shock resistance, and has the characteristics of non-absorbent and harmless.
Difference between PE foam tape and EVA foam tape
Understanding the difference between PE foam and EVA foam, we have a basic understanding of the two types of tapes, and can better understand their differences. Let’s take a look together:
PE Foam Tape
PE foam double-sided tape is based on polymer foam material, double-sided coating of high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive (acrylic adhesive or rubber adhesive), and composite single silicon or double silicon release material. There are various thicknesses, densities and colors to choose from. It can be supplied in rolls or processed through punching and die-cutting into various shapes. Foam tape offers outstanding weather resistance, chemical resistance, cushioning, sound absorption and superior adhesion. It is suitable for applications in various industries such as signs, decoration, building materials, home accessories, electronic appliances, automotive interiors, medical protection, precision machinery, etc.
EVA Foam Tape
EVA foam double-sided tape is a new type of environmentally friendly plastic packaging material with excellent cushioning, shockproof, heat insulation, moisture-proof and chemical corrosion resistance. It is also non-toxic and non-absorbent. EVA rubber and plastic products can be processed and formed according to design requirements. Its shockproof effect is better than traditional polystyrene (foam) packaging materials and meets environmental standards. Therefore, it is an ideal choice for export products. Compared with other shockproof packaging materials, EVA foam can be easily cut and formed, and due to its large density difference, its application field is also more extensive.
