What adhesive tape is used in automotive industry?

The automotive industry is a very important industry, especially with new energy vehicles being the most rapidly growing industry at the moment. Many parts are used in this industry and putting these parts together requires screws, adhesives or tapes. It sounds unbelievable that tapes are used inside cars, but it is true, let me show you which types of tapes can be used in the automotive industry.

The most common types of tape used in the automotive industry are: automotive foam tape, nano tape, wire harness tape, reflective tape and high temperature paper tape, different tapes have different methods and scenarios of use.

Automotive foam tape

Automotive foam tape is one of the most widely used and useful tapes in the automotive industry. The tape is made of white or black IXPE cross-linked foam, coated with acrylic on the back and a PE release film on the outside, which has good adhesion and durability, good shock absorption and weather resistance. Widely used in automotive interior trim, door trim, rain shields and signage.

Acrylic tape

Also known as VHB tape, it is made of high viscosity acrylic adhesive with a PE release film on the outside, and is suitable for pasting on LSE and HSE surfaces. With the development of new energy vehicles, high-tech car interiors have become very popular, mainly used for electronic products in cars, processing and assembly of electrical appliances, LED board adhesion, etc.

Nano tape

Nano tape, also known as magic tape, is a washable and reusable tape. The tape is the most common tape in everyday life and can be used in kitchens, bedrooms or bathrooms, and is mainly used in the automotive industry for fixing and taping car interiors.

Wiring harness tape

Automotive wire harness tape: dedicated to the winding of wire harnesses in the automotive industry. High-quality, synthetic rubber-based adhesive tape with a high resistance to ageing. It has a strong surface resistance to staining and high temperature stability.

Reflective tape

Reflective tape is mainly used on the sides and back of lorry bodies to allow the owner of the vehicle behind to see the situation in front more clearly at night when the light is not good and to reduce the occurrence of road accidents.

High temperature masking tape

When we want to change the colour for the house and car, we can stick the tape where we don't want the paint to arrive and just tear the tape off after the paint is In the automotive industry, achieving clean lines is almost as important when painting and finishing cars and other vehicles, which is where specially formulated masking tape becomes necessary. Regular masking tapes can withstand temperatures of up to 60 degrees Celsius, high temperature masking tapes can withstand temperatures of up to 180 degrees Celsius and can be used to allow paint to dry quickly after the car has been painted by means of high temperatures.

Each tape has advantages and disadvantages, and different tapes are suitable for different application scenarios. When you want to change your car, you need to choose the right type of tape with the area you want to change for the best results.
