Long Description
Avery Dennison™ FT EZ-8 is a double-coated polyester tape engineered for applications requiring a strong bond to foams—particularly polyether or polyester foams—while also offering temporary removability from metal or similar surfaces. This makes FT EZ-8 an ideal solution for industries such as automotive, appliance manufacturing, and general industrial assembly.
The tape features a differential rubber-based adhesive system, providing a secure initial bond to foam on the unwind side and short-term removability on the liner side.
Key Features
Differential rubber adhesives on each side of a polyester carrier:
Unwind side adhesive offers strong foam bonding.
Liner side adhesive provides short-term removability from most metal substrates.
Excellent die-cutting and processing stability, making it well-suited for high-speed converting operations.
Backed with a densified kraft release liner for improved handling and liner stability during lamination and application.
Construction
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Liner | 80# White Kraft Paper |
| Adhesive 1 | Rubber (Liner Side – Removable) |
| Carrier | Polyester Film |
