Arlon offers an extensive line of Double Coated Paper and Polyester Tapes. These tapes range from cost effective emulsion-based adhesives to high performance solvent-based adhesives. These tapes are designed to bond to a variety of substrates. The polyester and paper carriers are conformable to a variety of surfaces, and they also provide great dimensional stability. Arlon also offers Differential Coated Polyester Tapes. This allows our end-user a couple of performance criterias from one tape.

Double Coated Tapes are used by a variety of OEMs and end-users for joining, sealing, fabricating and mounting.
