Reuse of parts and materials
In the automobile industry, the 3Rs (recycle, reuse, and reduce) must be addressed in order to maintain the environment. However, many components are welded or bonded, making it difficult to reuse them.
Double-faced tape with reworkability for device recycling
The easy reworkable tape makes it easy to disassemble the attached parts and restore them, facilitating the recycling and reuse of parts. The tape offers strong retention even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, preventing panels from disengaging or detaching over a long period of time. In addition, even when different materials with different coefficients of linear expansion are attached, the combination of strong bonding strength and flexibility prevents separation, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
Technical information
Technical overview
Easy disassembly
Eco-friendly parts reuse
Easily disassembles attached parts and returns them to their original state for recycling and reuse.
Holding power
About half the weight
Demonstrates strong holding power and prevents panels from floating or peeling for long periods of time, even in high-temperature, high-humidity environments.
Surface following
Stick to curved surface
The flexible form absorbs the rebound,follow curved surfaces without floating or peeling.
Combinability
Wide choice of materials
Even when different materials with different coefficients of linear expansion are bonded together, they do not peel off due to the combination of strong adhesion and flexibility, and can be used for various applications.
Technical details
Easy disassembly
After the tape base material is split with a blade, the remaining tape is removed by pulling.
Adhesives can be easily disassembled.
Smooth tape removal without shredding or adhesive residue, and parts can be disassembled and recycled in the event of assembly failure.

Holding power
It has excellent retention performance in all shear, tilt, and plane directions,
enabling devices to be made larger and with narrower frames.

Surface following
Curved PC plates were laminated together assuming R500, and the occurrence of peeling was checked after 500 hours.
In contrast to the competition, which causes floating at the edges, Sekisui products have the flexibility to absorb the repulsive force of curved surfaces and strong interfacial adhesive strength to prevent floating and peeling even at the edges of curved surfaces.

Combinability
Even when bonding dissimilar materials with large differences in linear expansion coefficients,
the high adhesive strength and flexibility of the tape allows it to follow the expansion and contraction of the adherend,
preventing the tape from peeling off.

Features
- High holding properties.
- Great reworkability. Less contamination are found in Sekisui’s tapes than other companies’ during rework. When our tapes are used in polyolefin products, no contamination are detected.
Applications
Application example of the Flexible Foam Tape
Feature
1. Holding properties on tilted surfaces
1Simulated situation for evaluation
This evaluation is based on the assumption that the flexible foam tape was used to install a TV set obliquely in a bar or a restaurant.
2Evaluation method
| Tape | 25mm×25mm |
| Adherend① | PET surface on the glass |
| Adherend② | AL |
| Adhesive load | 5kg×10sec |
| Curing conditions | 24h*23℃50%RH |
| Gradient | 45° |
| Static load | 1kg |
| Measurement temperature | 60℃90%RH |
3Evaluation results
- Great holding properties are exhibited.
2. Shear Holding Properties
1Simulated situation for evaluation
Static shear strength applied to the flexible foam tape was measured on the assumption that the tape was stuck to the back of a LCD display.
2Evaluation method
| Adherend | Glass/SUS |
| Size of tape to be applied | 25mm×25mm |
| Pressure application conditions | 1 pass back and forth with a 2-kg roller |
| Curing conditions | 23℃×24hr |
| Test conditions | 60℃90%RH |
3Evaluation results
- High shear holding properties are exhibited.
3. Reworkability
1Simulated situation for evaluation
An evaluation was conducted to determine how many foreign substances there were when the flexible tape was torn off during disassembly of devices or other things.
2Evaluation method
3Evaluation results
- Sekisui’s tapes have less foreign substance than other companies’. As for polyolefin products, there is no contamination by foreign substances.

Different features of the adhesives which are used in each series
X adhesive・・・Adhesive with enhanced adhesion to polycarbonate, providing both heat resistance and strong adhesion.
L adhesive・・・High-grade adhesive that achieves both ease of adhesion and high adhesive reliability.
Features
This tape is made by combining a base material with excellent cushioning properties and a strong adhesive.
Reworkability
As the tape can be easily detached, the work efficiency is improved. In addition, there is no remaining glue at the position of detached adhesive, and the adherend part can be reused.
Surface followability
As a foam material is used, the tape has flexibility and can easily adhere even to an irregular surface and a curved surface.
Retention characteristics
As a strong adhesive is used, it is possible to securely fix an object and the tape withstands a long-term use.
