Double-sided foam adhesive tape Polax 12 mm x 5 m, black

Double-sided foam adhesive tape Polax 12 mm x 5 m in black is a soft polyethylene foam tape with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides. It is designed to create a thin, durable bond between smooth or slightly textured materials while offering light cushioning and gap-filling properties. The black color helps conceal the tape in visible joints and behind trims, making it suitable for interior mounting and finishing tasks where a low-profile, permanent attachment is required.

Advantages

The tape provides consistent adhesive contact across bonded surfaces and reduces vibration transmission through a compliant foam layer. Its thin profile allows for discreet mounting of lightweight items, and the foam core compensates for minor surface irregularities to improve joint integrity. The pressure-sensitive adhesive ensures immediate tack and a reliable permanent bond on compatible substrates.

Suitable for

• Mounting lightweight fixtures and decorative trims
• Attaching signage, nameplates and panels
• Craft projects and DIY applications
• Sealing narrow gaps and providing minor cushioning
• Interior installations on wood, metal, glass and painted surfaces

Key specifications

• Width: 12 mm
• Length: 5 m
• Color: black
• Material: soft polyethylene foam core with pressure-sensitive adhesive on both sides
• Profile: thin, flexible foam with gap-filling properties
• Adhesion type: permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive suitable for smooth and slightly textured surfaces

How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, oil or loose particles before applying the tape. Measure and cut the required length, peel away the protective liner, position the tape carefully and press firmly along the length to establish full contact. For best performance, apply firm pressure for several seconds and allow the adhesive to set; avoid heavy loading immediately after application. On porous or highly textured surfaces, test adhesion on a small area first.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Use at moderate room temperatures for optimal adhesive performance. Avoid using on freshly painted surfaces until paint has fully cured. For heavier loads or outdoor exposure consider mechanical fastening or a product specified for exterior use.
