Underlayment tapes solutions offer greater ease of installing the underlayment material, and enables the flooring that it is carrying to be installed immediately. Our solutions comprise both transfer tapes and double coated tapes which are filmic or reinforced with scrims, making them suitable for various building materials, subfloors and underlayments. Avery Dennison’s underlayment tapes can also be customized to various coating weights that conform to irregular or uneven backings and subfloors. When needed, tapes can also be made removable, helping present a sustainable and long-term approach to flooring.

Products


FT 7352 High performance double coated tape

About the product
Double coated PET carrier with innovative pure UV acrylic adhesive designed for bonding polyurethane foam, polyester fibers, felts and fabrics. The PET film improves resistance and shear strength, and can provide repositioning capabilities depending on the substrate.

 

Key benefits

  • Very high tack and peel strength, even on rough surfaces
  • Extreme shear resistance and cohesive strength
  • High resistance to humidity and water

FT Y6663 High performance scrim tape

About the product
Double coated scrim tape with innovative elastomeric adhesive designed for bonding (foamed) rubbers and plastics. Provides high adhesion to medium and low surface energy materials such as PP, PE, TPO, ABS, PVC, PS and painted metals.

 

Key benefits

  • Very high tack and peel strength, even on rough surfaces
  • Resistant to humidity
  • High degree of resistance to volatile components

FT351 Double coated tape with removable capabilities

About the product
Differential double coated pure solvent acrylic/solvent rubber tape, designed for applications where an extreme adhesion is required to low surface energy materials on the laminating side, and where the mounting side requires a plasticizer resistant and repositionable adhesive layer.

 

Key benefits

  • Permanent side provides high tack and adhesion to medium and low surface energy materials
  • Repositionable side provides lower initial tack for easy realignment
  • Reinforces flexible substrates and acts as a barrier for highly plasticized substrates
