When two surfaces need to be joined without making the fixing too noticeable, clear adhesive tape can be a useful option. It is particularly relevant to applications involving glass, transparent plastics, signage and display materials, where the appearance of the finished product matters. Clear tape is available in different constructions, so it is important to understand the differences before choosing a product. What is clear double sided tape? Clear double sided tape has adhesive on both sides and is designed to bond one surface to another. Some versions use a transparent PET carrier, while others use a clear acrylic adhesive construction. STIKON's S-Fix PET range uses a clear filmic carrier with acrylic adhesive. Its double-sided tape category also includes products designed for bonding flexible and semi-flexible materials. Applications where clarity matters Clear double sided tape can be used in several applications, depending on the adhesive and carrier. Glass ...

Double sided tape is used in many industries where materials need to be joined without screws, nails or other mechanical fixings. From mounting signs and trims to bonding plastics and foam, the right tape can make installation easier and create a neat finish. However, not every tape is suitable for every job. The adhesive, carrier and surface material all affect how well the tape performs. What makes a double sided tape strong? The strength of a tape depends on its construction and adhesive formulation. Some products use acrylic adhesives, while others use synthetic rubber adhesives. The carrier also matters. Filmic tapes use carriers such as PET, PVC or PP. These provide support and rigidity, making them useful for bonding flexible or semi-flexible materials. Tissue tapes are more conformable and can work well with materials such as foam, vinyl and board. For applications requiring a permanent bond between solid surfaces, high-bond acrylic tapes may be a suitable option. STI...
