- High resistance to plasticizers
- Dimensional stability and easy die-cutting
- Long-term temperature resistance: –40 °C to 100 °C; short-term up to 120 °C
Key performance highlights:
- 180° Peel Strength: SUS304 – 15.16 N/25 mm, PP – 17.22 N/25 mm, ABS – 9.17 N/25 mm
- Ball tack number: >15
- High-temperature holding power: >100 h at 80 °C with <3 mm displacement
- Warm water resistance: No debonding after 72 h at 80 °C
What is Low VOC double-sided tape?
Low VOC double-sided tape is a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape coated on both sides of a carrier, designed to form strong, permanent bonds while releasing minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These tapes are critical in industries such as automotive, rail transit, appliances, and electronics, where air quality and long-term durability are essential.
How double-sided tape works
The principle is simple but powerful:
- Surface wetting – The adhesive flows into microscopic surface irregularities when pressure is applied.
- Molecular bonding – The adhesive forms physical and chemical bonds with the substrate.
- Carrier support – The internal tissue, film, or foam layer adds stability for easier processing and die-cutting.
Low VOC tapes achieve this with water-based acrylic adhesives instead of solvent-based ones, drastically reducing emissions.
Why VOC emissions matter
High VOC adhesives can cause:
- Interior fogging on vehicle glass
- Strong odors in enclosed spaces
- Potential health risks (eye irritation, headaches)
- Non-compliance with environmental regulations (e.g., VDA 278, GB 27630)
Advanced Low VOC tapes can meet Level A VOC performance under T/CAS281-2017 and record ND (Not Detected) for styrene, xylene, benzene, toluene, and other harmful compounds.
Types of Low VOC double-sided tape
- Film-based – PET/PP film carriers for precision mounting
- Tissue-based – Nonwoven carriers for flexibility
- Foam-based – PE/PU foam carriers for gap filling and vibration damping
- Scrim-reinforced – Mesh carriers for high tensile strength
Types of Low VOC double-sided tape
- Bonding rail transit thermal insulation and vibration absorption materials (e.g., melamine cotton, flame-retardant EVA panels)
- Rolling or pairing PU foam (density <50 kg/m³) to meet high temperature/humidity resistance
- Fixing PVC and cloth-based protective sheets
- Bonding automotive wiring harness silencer sponges
- Attaching thermal insulation sponges for automotive AC vents and ducts
- Laminating NVH foam materials like PU, PE, EPDM, and PP
- Fixing silencer materials in household appliances

How to choose the right tape
- Match carrier type to application – Tissue-based for flexibility, film-based for stability
- Check adhesion values – Ensure compatibility with target materials (PP, ABS, metals)
- Consider environmental exposure – High resistance is important for heat and moisture conditions
- Verify VOC compliance – Always request test reports for regulated industries
