Many industries rely on our tesa® foam tapes to provide reliable adhesion, even at extreme temperatures. They protect against dust and moisture intrusion, and resist impacts. Their ability to fill gaps, absorb noise and vibrations, provide insulation, and protect surfaces means our foam tapes offer the ideal bonding solution in many sectors. This includes, for instance, automotive, electronics, appliances, flexo printing, transportation, and building components.
At tesa, our foam tapes are available with a choice of backing materials, in a range of thicknesses and densities, and featuring various adhesives. Our single-sided foam tapes are highly suitable for cushioning and damping applications. And double-sided foam tapes with pure acrylic adhesives offer long-term, reliable performance for tough outdoor applications. We also offer specially developed removable foam tapes, designed to be removed with out leaving any residues.
Best for: Foam tapes are designed for industrial applications that require reliable bonding, sealing, cushioning, insulation, gap filling, and vibration damping. They support demanding processes across industries while helping protect surfaces and maintain performance under challenging environmental conditions.
Why they perform
Typical applications
Performance takeaway: Foam tapes combine strong adhesion, sealing, cushioning, and gap-filling capabilities to support reliable performance across diverse industrial applications.
Our portfolio of foam tapes offers a choice of densities, cell structures, thicknesses, and adhesives, so you can select the right combination to meet your needs. Foam tapes provide high conformability to fill gaps and are able to level out different thermal expansion. They offer a high bonding strength combined with excellent damping properties and shock resistance. What’s more, foam tapes create a waterproof barrier when compressed while still being flexible enough to seal uneven surfaces effectively.
Our collection of foam tapes includes an extensive portfolio of PE foam tapes – a popular choice for a wide variety of challenging industrial processes. Additionally, tesa® acrylic foam tapes offer superior performance in particularly demanding applications. For example, where there are high load requirements on small bonding surfaces in the automotive, building, and electronics industries.

Foam tape is an adhesive tape with a foam backing that helps bond materials while accommodating uneven or irregular surfaces. Depending on the application, foam tapes can provide cushioning, sealing, vibration damping, gap filling, and reliable adhesion for a wide range of industrial uses.
Foam tapes are used in many industrial applications, including mounting components, sealing against dust and moisture, filling gaps, reducing vibration, cushioning parts, and compensating for manufacturing tolerances. They are available in different foam materials and adhesive systems to meet specific performance requirements.
PVC foam tape is commonly used for applications that require sealing, cushioning, or gap filling. Its compressible foam backing helps conform to irregular surfaces while providing reliable adhesion, making it suitable for industrial sealing and mounting applications.
Some foam tape products are designed to help create seals that protect against moisture, dust, and other environmental influences. The level of water resistance depends on the specific foam material, adhesive system, and application requirements, so selecting the appropriate foam tape is important for achieving the desired sealing performance.
Yes. Single sided foam tape is suitable for applications such as sealing, mounting, cushioning, and vibration damping. Its foam backing conforms to uneven surfaces, helping create a reliable bond while also compensating for gaps and surface irregularities.
