What is the liner used on this range of tapes?
These red transparent tapes have a red film MOPP liner, which enhances the adhesive’s transparency and gives them a more professional finish.
What is the adhesive used on this range of tapes?
The adhesive used on this polyester tape is a cross-linked solvent-high-performance acrylic adhesive. Consequently, this adhesive is specially formulated to provide a strong bond and excellent cohesive strength, even in the most demanding conditions.
What is the carrier used on this range of tapes?
The carrier used on this range of tapes is made from 25 Micron transparent polyester.
What is this range of tapes resistant to?
This range of tapes has excellent resistance to most weather conditions, UV, and plasticizers.
How do you apply this type of tape?
When applying this tape, the surfaces to be bonded should be dry, dust, grease-free, and thoroughly clean. Avoid touching the exposed adhesive surface of the tape, as this impairs its performance. The ideal cleaning method should incorporate the use of a solvent, such as Isopropyl alcohol.
To attain the optimum bond strength, sufficient pressure should be applied to the tape to ensure a good adhesive “wet out” on the substrates. This tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the best results are achieved with maximum surface contact under pressure.
The bond strength will reach its optimum strength after 24 hours.

Questions asked about the clear tapes in this range
Question: Thank you for your prompt delivery of my double-sided tape with red mop lining. I will be using it for craftwork with paper and cards. Can you tell me if it is acid-free? I forgot to enquire prior to purchase and have not been able to see any wording to that effect on the website, though I may not have been looking in the right place – Jean
Answer: Hi Jean – yes, I can confirm that this is acid-free – Ian, Product Support Manager
Question: Hi there, I’m looking for a high-transparency double-sided tape, something that could be used for microscopy applications such as embryo fixation onto glass slides. Do you have any suggestions on what may work, or are there any samples that I could test? I really appreciate any help you can provide. Best regards, Miha
Answer: Hi Miha, this product may well work for what you need – – Ian, Product Support Manager
Question: Do you have double-sided tape that is suitable for repairing mobile phones – Live Chat
Answer: What type of repair are you carrying out on the phone? – Ian, Product Support Manager
Question: Replacing the digitizer glass. Actually, PSA 1397A seems suitable. But the description says it is suitable for temporary phone repair. What does that mean? – Live Chat
Answer: Temporary, as in until you might want the glass replaced by the dealers – Ian, Product Support Manager
Question: That’s great. I appreciate your help – Live Chat
Question: Hi, looking at PSA1397A…, I was just wondering how thick the tape is, please? – Live Chat
Answer: The polyester carrier is 12mic without adhesive 9:53 am 1mm thick would take you into the realms of foam tape, and to be honest, 1mm foam tapes are difficult to slit in 3mm – Ian, Product Support Manager
Question: ah, do you do anything a little thicker? Need 3mm wide, but nearer 0.5mm thick? – Live Chat Would that be the carrier you need to be thicker or the total thickness, including adhesive? – Ian, Product Support Manager total thickness – Live Chat
Answer: Okay, well, the 3mm polyester tape you have been looking at has a total thickness of 300 microns without the carrier. Again, to get into 0.5/1mm, you would be looking at structural bonding tape for clear or standard foam tapes. The issue would be slitting to 3mm, though – Ian, Product Support Manager
Question: well, in that case, I think we might be there with the one I’m looking at. I will have a word with my boss and get him to place the order…thank you for your help – Live Chat
Answer: Not a problem; let me know if you need any further help and have a good day – Ian, Product Support Manager

Question: Hi, I want to use double-sided tape to securely fix a 150mm x 30mm clear acrylic window (2mm thickness) into a painted aluminium panel. It will only need to withstand normal room temperatures and indoor environments. The tape does not need to be transparent since it will be placed on the overlap of the window and panel. The tape will need to be quite thin. Can you recommend a tape, please? – Andy
