Industrial Uses for Double Sided Tapes

In industrial settings, choosing the right adhesive solution can have a significant impact on both efficiency and performance. While double sided tapes are often associated with the automotive industry, their versatility allows them to be used in a wide range of applications beyond just vehicles.

From panel bonding in manufacturing to signage installation and temporary fixture mounting, industrial double sided tapes offer a flexible, durable alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners.

This blog explores the critical qualities of industrial-grade tapes, where they are used, and the solutions that JTAPE offer within this category.

Key qualities of industrial double sided tapes

For a double sided tape to perform in an industrial setting, it has to meet a demanding list of requirements. Below, we’ll break down the essential characteristics of a reliable industrial double sided tape.

Strong adhesion

Because double sided tapes provide a strong, reliable bond, they serve as a non-mechanical alternative to traditional fastening methods such as bolts, rivets, and liquid adhesives. Industrial double sided tapes are engineered to deliver high bond strength across a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites.

Durability

Tapes used in industrial environments must resist wear, moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. Durability ensures longevity and performance in sectors like construction, aerospace, and heavy manufacturing where reliability cannot be compromised.

Sound & vibration-dampening properties

Beyond bonding, many industrial double sided tapes play a role in managing noise and vibrations. Foam-backed options are especially effective in dampening, making them ideal for applications where both stability and acoustics are essential.

Versatility

Industrial double sided tapes can be incredibly versatile, offering benefits such as custom sizes, thicknesses, and materials. Their conformability also makes them suitable for bonding in tight or irregular spaces – supporting everything from curved panels to textured surfaces.

Use cases for double sided tapes in industrial settings

Industrial double sided tape isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. There are a plethora of tapes to fit a wide range of adhesive needs.

Mounting signage & displays

One of the most common uses is mounting signage and displays. Whether on-site or in retail settings, double sided mounting tape provides a clean, efficient alternative to screws or bolts, helping maintain a professional finish while supporting significant weight, and being easy to remove and clean up once removed.

Temporary fixture mounting

Temporary fixture mounting is another vital use case. In scenarios where components must be held in place for inspection or alignment without permanent fastening, double sided tapes offer an ideal removable solution, saving time and material costs.

Vibration dampening

The inherent vibration dampening qualities of many foam-based industrial double sided tapes make them invaluable in sectors like aerospace and automotive manufacturing, where vibrations can affect precision and performance. This is especially useful when dealing with sensitive instruments or electronic components.
