Product Name
Bron BT-1095 General Purpose UV Resistant, White, Foam Bonding Tape
Brief Description
The Bron BT-1095 is a cost-effective, general-purpose foam bonding tape designed for lightweight mounting, damping, and gasketing applications. It features a water-based acrylic adhesive and a cross-linked EVA:PE copolymer or soft cross-linked PE foam, offering a strong, permanent bond. This tape is specifically formulated to resist yellowing under UV exposure and tolerate moderate dust levels, ensuring consistent performance in various conditions.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Lightweight mounting of various objects- Gasketing and sealing gaps- Cushioning and protection of delicate components- Sound and vibration damping in equipment and panels- Weatherstripping around doors and windows- Thermal insulation in appliances and HVAC systems- Attaching trim and emblems in automotive applications- Mounting signs, nameplates, and displays
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/ Building Services- General Manufacturing- LED/Electronics- Marine- Metal Fabrication- Sign & Display- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle- Distributers & Resellers- Prosumer (for DIY and household projects)
Special and Unique Features
- UV resistant, preventing yellowing and degradation upon exposure to sunlight- Tolerant of moderate dust and dirt contamination- Cost-effective solution for general-purpose bonding- Durable construction for reliable performance- Available in multiple thicknesses to meet specific requirements
Key Properties
- Adhesive Type: Water-based acrylic- Foam Type: Cross-linked EVA:PE copolymer foam (for thinner tapes) or soft cross-linked PE foam (for thicker tapes)- Color: White- Bond Strength: Forms a strong, permanent bond suitable for medium-duty mounting- Temperature Range (In Service): -40°F to 180°F (-40°C to 82°C)- Density: 3 lb./cu. ft.- Shelf Life: 1 year
Surface Compatibility
The water-based acrylic adhesive forms a strong permanent bond to a wide variety of substrates, including metals, plastics, painted surfaces, and sealed wood. Its conformability allows it to adhere effectively to uneven or textured surfaces.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other general-purpose foam tapes with similar acrylic or rubber-based adhesives- 3M VHB tapes (for heavy-duty or structural applications where BT-1095 is not recommended)- Neoprene, EPDM, or PVC foam tapes for specific environmental resistances (e.g., oil, extreme temperatures, higher water resistance)
Comparison Note
The Bron BT-1095 is positioned as a cost-effective, general-purpose solution for lightweight to medium-duty applications, offering good UV resistance and durability. While it provides reliable bonding and sealing, it is not recommended for applications requiring high water resistance or long-term, heavy-duty structural mounting, where more specialized high-bond acrylic foam tapes (like some VHB variants) or specific closed-cell foam types might be more suitable.
