Adhesive Tapes

The right pressure sensitive adhesive tape can make all the difference in an application, and Saint-Gobain® offers exceptional quality, OEM approvals and technical capability to customize. Our teams work hard to ensure there is an adhesive tape combination to fit your exact need. We work with a variety of substrates including fluoropolymers, polyimide, glass fabrics, foils, and polyester combined with acrylic, silicone, natural rubber and proprietary adhesive systems, making us experts in a broad range of materials.

Bonding Tapes

Engineered to provide durable, long-lasting security where and when it matters the most, our bonding tapes offer a flexible connection that stands the test of time. Combining an elastomeric foam substrate with a durable pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive, our high-quality bonding tapes have excellent resistance to a wide variety of environmental conditions and are an ideal choice for interior and exterior bonding applications.

Gasketing Foams

Designed for lifelong protection against environmental and mechanical influences, gasketing foam solutions provide excellent performance that helps manufacturers reach new performance levels with their products. Superior sealing and dampening functionality in harsh to more benign in- and outdoor conditions characterize our broad gasketing foams portfolio. Compressible, elastomeric foam tapes are available with or without adhesive in a wide range of thicknesses, widths and compressibility values that outperform traditional sealing methods. Gasketing foams eliminate the sticky problems associated with other types of sealants and their dimensional stability allows for time-saving and easy positioning.

Spacer Tapes

High-strength Structural Glazing Spacer Tapes maintain consistent spacing between a glass pane and the metal frame prior to applying structural silicone, making it a key component in structural silicone glazing applications. Open-cell Spacer Tapes are available in a wide range of thicknesses and configurations with black or gray color, utilizing durable acrylic adhesive on one or both sides of the foam. Tested to ensure superior performance, our Spacer Tapes excel in load deformation performance and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), proving they are the ideal solution for structural silicone glazing applications and the right choice when your reputation is on the line.
