Long Description
Avery Dennisonβ’ FM 2132 is a premium, high-performance, double-coated white polyethylene foam tape engineered for strong bonding to low surface energy materials. This 36 mil (0.91 mm) thick foam tape features a high shear rubber adhesive system on both sides, offering superior adhesion, excellent gap filling, and robust performance in demanding industrial applications.
Designed for versatility, FM 2132 delivers high conformability, dimensional stability, and outstanding die-cutting characteristics, making it ideal for a wide range of general industrial, mounting, and assembly applications.
Key Benefits
High Bond Strength on Low Surface Energy Substrates
Bonds securely to challenging surfaces like polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and other LSE materials.
Excellent Gap-Filling Properties
The polyethylene foam core adapts to uneven surfaces, providing cushioning and sealing functionality.
Superior Shear and Temperature Resistance
High shear strength ensures long-term performance under load and varying temperatures.
High Tensile Strength & Tear Resistance
Enhances durability during converting, application, and end-use.
Excellent Die-Cutting Performance
The tape maintains dimensional stability and clean edges during high-speed die-cutting processes.
Reliable Conformability
Adapts to complex surfaces and contours for consistent adhesion.
Double-Coated Construction
Provides balanced adhesive performance on both sides for versatile bonding.
Long Shelf Life & Storage Stability
Up to 2 years when stored under optimal conditions (64β72Β°F, 30β70% RH, original packaging).
