Mactac

Perigee Direct carries Mactac engineered tapes for mounting work that has to hold without fasteners. The Macbond Ultra 555 foam tapes, IM1763 at 1/32 inch and IM1863 at 1/16 inch, grip zero VOC painted drywall and low surface energy plastics where thin acrylic tapes let go. Macmount XT puts high tack rubber on crosslinked PE foam for sign returns and display panels. GS Rivet Tapes carry 20 mil of solvent free rubber behind a dry edge liner and replace rivets and screws outright. Mactac is Morgan Adhesives Company of Stow, Ohio.

Single rolls ship from Dallas, so you can prove a tape on your own parts before buying a case. Call (817) 381-9398 or email sales@perigeedirect.com to match foam thickness to the gap you are closing.
