If you're in need of a strong, reliable adhesive that can bond various materials, double sided tape is an excellent option. Widely used across industries such as manufacturing, construction, and office supplies, this versatile tape offers an effective solution for countless applications. In this article, we’ll dive into what double sided tape is, how it’s made, explore the different types available, and share some common tips on how to use it effectively.
What is Double Sided Tape?
Double sided tape comes in various types, as you may notice in daily life, each crafted with different base materials and adhesives on both sides. Some types use tissue paper as the base with solvent-based adhesive coated on both sides, while others utilize gauze or PET with different double sided coated adhesives. Each variation imparts unique properties to the tape, ensuring it meets a range of needs. However, the general principle remains the same: double sided tape uses base materials with adhesive coated on both sides, enabling two surfaces to bond seamlessly without requiring additional materials. This versatility makes double sided tape an invaluable tool for many applications, from light-duty crafts to heavy-duty industrial tasks.
Applications of Double Sided Tape
Double sided tape varies in performance and application scenarios depending on its base material and adhesive formulation. Here are three common application scenarios (not limited to just these):
Light-duty Applications
Suitable for DIY furniture decoration, light object mounting, and carpet positioning. This type of double sided tape usually has high tack and easy-tear properties, allowing for quick installation and efficient adhesion of lightweight objects.
Heavy-duty Applications
In these scenarios, double sided tape provides excellent adhesion and durability, ideal for securing heavier objects. It maintains a strong bond over time, even under the object's own weight, making it suitable for hanging or fixing heavy items.
Tough Environment Applications
These high-strength double sided tapes offer exceptional high temperature resistance and anti-aging properties, making them suitable for automotive and electronics applications. They maintain stable adhesion performance in high-temperature and harsh environments, remaining unaffected by environmental factors.

ADHES double sided PET tape uses PET film as the base material, coated with adhesive on both sides, and laminated with a release liner of red MOPP. It features excellent adhesion and strong initial tack, allowing it to quickly and firmly adhere to various surfaces, ensuring an efficient bonding effect. Additionally, the tape features excellent aging resistance, high-temperature resistance, and strong tensile strength, making it suitable for high-temperature and demanding applications where long-term use and sustained adhesive performance are required without easy detachment. Its exceptional performance makes it widely used in industries such as electronics, automotive, industrial manufacturing, and other fields that require high-strength bonding. The durability and strong adhesion make it an ideal choice for high-demand applications.
NANO Tape
Nano tape is coated with acrylic adhesive, with no backing, and is available in various colored release films, which is an innovative adhesive material designed and manufactured using nanotechnology, significantly enhancing its bonding ability. Compared to traditional double sided tapes, nano tape not only offers stronger adhesion but also features reusability and leaves no adhesive residue during use. Its unique design and manufacturing process significantly enhance its water resistance, allowing it to maintain strong adhesive performance even after being washed, without losing its stickiness or effectiveness. Due to its excellent performance, nano tape is ideal for high-demand applications such as fixing interior and exterior automotive decorations, attaching and securing components for electronics, smartphones, computers, smart locks, and various internal and external product connections. Furthermore, nano tape is widely used in fields such as curtain walls, glass elevators, door and window installations, and solar panels, providing reliable solutions for complex and high-strength bonding requirements.
How to Use ADHES Double Sided Tape
Using ADHES Double Sided Tape is easy and straightforward. Here are some tips for using it effectively:
Clean the Surface Before Applying the Tape
Make sure that the surfaces you want to stick together are clean and free of dirt, dust, or debris. This will help ensure proper adhesion and prevent the tape from bubbling or warping during application.
Choose the Right Size of Tape Based On the Application
Different types of double sided tape come in various sizes and lengths. Choose the size that is appropriate for your specific needs and application.
Apply Pressure & Ensure Proper Adhesion
Once you have applied the tape to the surfaces you want to stick together, apply pressure to help ensure proper adhesion. This will also prevent bubbling or warping of the tape during application.
