Arlon Single-Coated foam tapes are manufactured with the highest quality raw materials. The foam used in these tapes is a medical grade, closed-cell, PE:EVA copolymer foam (specialty polyethylene foam). Arlon ECP also offers tapes made with lower cost general purpose polyethylene foam and fire retardant polyethylene foam.

Arlon uses both emulsion (water-based) and solvent-borne synthetic rubber and acrylic adhesives to meet a variety of performance and cost requirements.

Arlon Single-Coated foam tapes have been used in a variety of industries, for gasketing, cushioning, and sealing.

We offer a tape with PET film support that gives excellent dimensional stability for die-cutting. We also offer tapes made with fire retardant PE foam if your application has UL Flammability requirements.
