What actually decides the grade in this family

A family is not a product. These are the questions that narrow it down to one construction, in the order we ask them.

The substrate pair, not the tape

Glass, painted metal and PET wet out easily; polypropylene, polyethylene and textured powder coats do not. The low-energy side of the joint decides the adhesive chemistry long before thickness does.

What the joint actually carries

A panel that hangs on the tape needs shear strength; a flap that gets lifted at one edge is a peel problem; a part pulled perpendicular is cleavage. The failure mode you cannot accept is the one to design against.

Bond line thickness

Carriers add handling and bridging, transfer tapes remove them. Where two parts must sit flush or an optical stack has a height budget, the thinner bond line wins even when the roll costs more.

Heat and sunlight after assembly

Initial tack is measured on day one; the joint is audited after aging. Sustained heat, damp heat and UV change acrylic and rubber adhesives in different directions, so the service temperature matters more than the peak temperature.

Whether it must ever come apart

A part that is assembled permanently and a part that is serviced at end of life need different adhesives. Deciding that now avoids a redesign later.

How the part reaches the line

Rolls, slit rolls, die-cut parts on a slit liner and spools are all double-sided tape. Presentation decides line speed, so it belongs in the material conversation, not at the end of it.

Which construction inside this family

ConstructionUsual reason to choose itWhat to check first
PET carrier acrylicDimensional stability, clean die-cut edges and heat resistance in electronics and battery assembly.Rough or warped surfaces can bridge; verify wet-out on your real panel.
Non-woven acrylic or rubberConforms to textured and slightly irregular surfaces in appliance and automotive interior work.Lower sustained heat and chemical resistance than PET grades.
Transfer tape (no carrier)The thinnest bond line, no carrier edge to show through, useful under optical stacks and FPC reinforcement.Needs a liner to handle; check pick-up method on your feeder.
Tissue carrierLight bonding, splicing and packaging work where cost per square metre decides.Moisture and long-term heat are the limits; fibres can tear on removal.
Low-VOC / low-fogging gradeEnclosed automotive and appliance interiors where the OEM measures fogging and odour.Ask which OEM test the grade was run against, not only that it is low-VOC.
Flame-retardant gradeBattery, appliance and transport applications with a flammability requirement.Confirm the listing, standard and thickness the certificate was issued against.
Nano / clear acrylic mounting tapeA thick, soft, transparent bond line that fills small gaps on tile, glass, painted wall and metal, and is expected to come apart or be repositioned.Surface texture and whether the part carries shear or its own weight; a smooth, clean surface is what makes clean removal possible.
Battery tab holding transfer tapePre-tack for tab protection wires and leads during assembly, with no carrier in the joint.Release behaviour at the placement station and whether the piece is picked or peeled; the series on your drawing is confirmed against channel availability.

Every row is a starting point for a test, not a promise about your joint. The third column is the part that usually decides the outcome.

How this product is ordered

These are the items a quotation has to settle before material is cut. Each one is confirmed against your order, so no figure on this page is a standing commitment.

Specification itemWhat we confirm
Grade or constructionThe carrier, adhesive chemistry and total thickness you want, or the brand grade you hold so we can read the construction back to you.
FormatJumbo roll, slit roll, die-cut part on liner, spool or individual pieces. Format and quantity are quoted together.
Width and lengthTarget slit width and metres per roll, with the roll outer diameter your applicator or dispenser can take.
CoreOne-inch and three-inch cores are the usual formats; larger cores and spool bodies are available for automated feed. Confirm the core your equipment accepts.
Liner and releasePET or glassine, slit or extended liner, release level matched to your pick-up method.
Winding directionWhich side faces out and where the tail sits, so the part feeds the way your line expects.
Splices and toleranceThe splice policy and the width tolerance you need, stated against the order rather than a generic figure.
Batch markingRoll label content, lot coding and the traceability records that go with the shipment.
MOQ and timingSample rolls of standard grades are available. Production quantity, tooling and dates are confirmed at quotation once the material and format are fixed.

How a claim about this product gets tested

What gets verifiedHow it is measured
Peel adhesionRecorded at a defined angle and speed on the substrate you actually bond to, so the number means something against your joint.
Static shearA loaded sample at temperature; it is the test that separates an adhesive that holds a panel from one that only grabs well on day one.
AgingDamp heat and elevated temperature exposure followed by a re-test, which is how a tropical production line judges the bond after assembly.
RemovalResidue and substrate damage after dwell, checked on your surface rather than on a clean test panel.

Ask for the method and the condition, not only the number: the same material reads differently on a clean test panel and on a part from your line.

How it is packed for export

  • Rolls are individually wrapped and boxed so the edges and the liner stay clean in transit.
  • Cartons are export-grade board, packed to a stated roll count and labelled with grade, size, lot and quantity.
  • Pallets are wrapped and corner-protected; for sea freight we use heat-treated or ply/plastic pallets so the shipment meets ISPM 15 marking rules.
  • Moisture barrier and desiccant are added on request for humid destinations and long sea routes.
  • Store and ship rolls flat, out of direct sun and away from heat sources; the usable window on the label assumes cool, dry storage, so first-in first-out matters.

Freight term, routing and destination charges are stated on the quotation. The technical guides and the logistics notes explain how each line is derived.

Questions buyers ask about Double-Sided Tape

Can you die-cut double-sided tape to my drawing?
Yes. Send a PDF, DXF, STEP or a dimensioned photo. We review manufacturability, propose the material and liner, then produce a sample before mass production.
What is the minimum order quantity?
We can supply single rolls for evaluation. For custom die-cut parts, MOQ depends on material width, tooling and annual volume; we confirm it at quotation.
Do you supply original tesa and 3M material?
Yes. tesa tape (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. lists Shenzhen Xiangyu New Material Co., Ltd. as a Platinum Partner (certificate tesaGC AD000437, valid 2026-04-01 to 2027-03-31, scope Industrial Trade and Converting). We also supply 3M and Sekisui materials. Availability and authorization scope vary by product family and country, so the grade and destination are confirmed at quotation.
Can you provide TDS, MSDS and RoHS documents?
Yes. Technical data sheets, safety data sheets and compliance documents are available for the selected grade.
How do you ship to Southeast Asia and other markets?
We ship from Shenzhen by express, air and sea freight, and can consolidate LCL shipments. Incoterms and lead time are confirmed at quotation.
What double sided tape is best for low surface energy plastics?
For PP and PE, an acrylic construction with a wetting layer is the reliable route, or treat the surface first by corona or plasma. A general-purpose rubber adhesive on an untreated low-energy surface tends to lift at the edges within weeks.
Does double sided tape work on powder coated metal?
Yes, provided the coating is fully cured and fine enough for the adhesive to wet it. Test after a dwell period on the real panel rather than immediately, because a fresh or textured coat can look bonded and then lift.
What is the temperature limit of acrylic versus rubber double sided tape?
Acrylic adhesives generally hold better under sustained heat and UV exposure, while rubber adhesives give higher initial tack and wet-out at room temperature but can creep under long-term load. We shortlist by chemistry once we have your temperature profile.
What is the difference between a transfer tape and a double sided tape with a carrier?
A carrier grade carries a discrete film or non-woven between two adhesive layers, which gives handling strength, bridging and a defined thickness. A transfer tape is only the adhesive, transferred to a liner, so it bonds with no carrier in the joint. Where the height budget is tight or a carrier edge would show, transfer tape is the shorter route; where the gap has to be bridged, a carrier is the safer one.
Do we need corona or plasma treatment before bonding plastics?
Usually, when the substrate is polypropylene, polyethylene or a low-energy coating. Treatment raises surface energy so the adhesive can wet the part instead of sitting on it. The cheaper alternative is a wetting-layer acrylic grade, which tolerates some low-energy surface but not all. We shortlist after a tape test on your untreated part, so treatment is a decision made with data rather than by default.
Can double sided tape hold a panel that is removed and re-fitted in service?
It can, but you have to say so at the design stage. Serviceable joints use a lower-bond or releasable construction, or a mechanical guide that takes the load, because a grade chosen for maximum shear will damage the surround on removal. Tell us which parts come apart and we will split the joint into permanent and releasable zones in the proposal.
How thick should the bond line be?
Thickness is a gap-bridging and stress-management choice, not a strength target. Thin bond lines suit close-fitting, flat parts; thicker foam or non-woven carriers suit mismatched surfaces, thermal movement and vibration. The wrong thickness can look fine on the bench and then fail at the edges after cycling, so we ask what the surfaces look like at assembly temperature.
