Mactac IM1863 is an uneven surface foam tape that pairs a 1/16 inch white PE foam carrier with MP555 Ultra 555 permanent rubber adhesive at 2.6 mils per side. Total caliper is 66.50 mils, double the cushion of the 1/32 inch IM1763. Thickness is the whole point. A 1/16 inch foam closes gaps a thin film tape skates across, so it holds on weld beads, extrusion draft, textured wall finishes, and panel edges that are not quite coplanar. At 1 inch by 108 feet on a plastic core it is the smallest roll in the Ultra 555 line, which makes it the easy way to try the adhesive before committing to a wider width.
What an uneven surface foam tape gives you
- 1/16 in white PE foam carrier, 66.50 mil total caliper
- MP555 Ultra 555 permanent rubber adhesive, both faces, 2.6 mil per side
- Peel adhesion 8 lbs/in on stainless steel, PSTC-101 Method A
- Loop tack 10 lbs/in, PSTC-16
- Shear 500 plus hours under a 1 kg load at 72F, PSTC-107
- Tensile 129 lbs/in machine direction, 96 lbs/in cross direction
- 232 percent elongation machine direction, so it stretches around a radius instead of splitting
- 78# SCK liner at medium release, peels clean by hand and feeds a rotary die
- Water resistant, so restroom and kitchen fixtures hold without a sealant bead
Popular Uses
- Signage and display mounting
- Appliance trim and badge attachment
- Soap and sanitizer dispenser mounting
- Mirror mounting
- Bonding decorative paneling to framing
- Vibration damping on HVAC panels, equipment covers, and ductwork

Choosing an Uneven Surface Foam Tape Thickness
Specify this 1/16 inch carrier when the substrate is out of plane by more than a few thousandths of an inch. Drop to the 1/32 inch IM1763 for flat drywall and sheet metal, where the extra bulk buys nothing. The same Ultra 555 adhesive is also coated on a 0.5 mil PET film when the joint needs no foam at all.
Surface Preparation
Wipe both faces clear of dust, oil, and release agent and let them dry. Peel the liner back a few inches, set the part, then press the full length with a roller so the adhesive wets into the texture. Apply at 50F or warmer so the adhesive flows. Both faces are permanent, so set the position before the liner comes all the way off.
