Double Sided Foam Tape TapeCase 1-5-4032W 1in x 5yd White Urethane

Description

Product Overview

TapeCase presents a premium double‑sided urethane foam tape designed for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. The product combines a high‑performance open‑cell urethane foam core with a robust acrylic adhesive applied to both faces, creating a versatile bonding medium that conforms to irregular surfaces while maintaining a secure grip. Measuring 1 inch (25 mm) in width, 5 yards (4.57 m) in length, and a thickness of 1/32 inch (0.8 mm), the tape offers a balance of flexibility and strength that is ideal for a wide range of mounting tasks. The foam’s closed‑cell structure provides excellent compressibility, allowing it to fill gaps up to several millimeters without compromising the adhesive’s integrity. The acrylic adhesive is engineered for high ultimate bond strength, offering resistance to temperature fluctuations, solvents, and many chemicals commonly encountered in industrial and commercial environments.

Manufactured by TapeCase, a brand known for reliable industrial solutions, this tape carries the model number 1‑5‑4032W and is packaged with a 62 lb densified kraft paper liner that protects the adhesive until installation. The product dimensions are 5 × 7 × 1 inches, weighing only 1.12 ounces, making it lightweight and easy to handle. Since its first release on April 27 2012, the tape has earned a solid reputation, reflected in a 4.5‑star rating from over 2,000 customer reviews and a best‑seller rank of #7,036 in the Industrial & Scientific category on major e‑commerce platforms.

Usage

The double‑sided urethane foam tape excels in applications where traditional mechanical fasteners are impractical or where a clean, invisible bond is desired. Interior signage, such as promotional posters, directional signs, and decorative plaques, can be mounted quickly without drilling holes or using nails, preserving wall integrity. Mirrors and glass panels benefit from the tape’s ability to distribute load evenly, reducing stress points that could lead to cracking. Nameplates, especially those made of metal or plastic, adhere securely even on textured surfaces, ensuring long‑term readability.

Beyond office and retail settings, the tape is well‑suited for bathroom accessories like soap dispensers and air fresheners. The moisture‑resistant formulation prevents adhesive degradation in humid environments, while the foam’s cushioning effect protects delicate fixtures from vibration. Outdoor installations are also possible when the tape is protected from direct exposure; for example, it can be used to attach decorative elements to exterior walls that are sheltered from rain and UV radiation. The product’s versatility extends to automotive interior trim, where it can bond dashboard components, trim pieces, and acoustic dampening pads without the need for screws or rivets.

Installation is straightforward: simply peel away the kraft liner, position the tape on the first surface, press firmly to activate the adhesive, then repeat on the second surface. The tape’s conformable nature allows it to adapt to uneven contours, making it an excellent choice for retrofitting older equipment where surface irregularities are common. For best results, clean the bonding areas with a mild solvent, ensure they are dry, and apply steady pressure for at least 30 seconds to achieve full adhesion.

FAQ

Can the tape be used on painted walls?

Yes, the acrylic adhesive is safe for most interior paints. For best results, clean the surface with a mild detergent, dry thoroughly, and apply firm pressure to ensure full contact.

What is the maximum temperature the tape can withstand?

The foam and adhesive are rated for continuous temperatures up to 120 °F (49 °C) and short‑term exposure up to 200 °F (93 °C), making it suitable for most indoor applications.

Is the tape removable without damaging the surface?

While the adhesive is designed for a permanent bond, it can be removed with a heat gun or adhesive remover if necessary. Test a small area first to ensure the substrate tolerates the removal method.

How does the tape perform in humid or wet environments?

The acrylic adhesive resists moisture, and the closed‑cell foam does not absorb water, allowing the tape to maintain its bonding strength in bathrooms, kitchens, and other humid locations.

Can the tape be cut to custom lengths?

Yes, the tape can be trimmed with scissors or a utility knife to fit specific dimensions. Cutting should be done on a clean surface to avoid fraying the kraft liner.
