Product Description

JVCC SCF-02 Single-Sided Foam Tape combines medium-density closed-cell PVC foam with high performance acrylic adhesive. The higher density foam of this industrial grade tape adds durability for your toughest applications. JVCC SCF-02 tape is flexible and conformable, yet extremely strong and resistant to wear. It’s also weather and chemical resistant. This single-coated PVC foam tape complies with European RoHS directive 2002/95/BC, and it’s extensively used in HVAC, construction and automotive industries. We have this foam tape available in various thicknesses 1/16 inch, 1/8 inch, 3/16 inch, and 1/4 inch. This product is made in the U.S.

JVCC's SCF-02 has the release liner applied to the non-adhesive side of the tape. They do this so the adhesive side of the tape will more easily unwind from the roll when you go to use it since it will not adhere well to the silicone-coated release liner it sits on top of. The adhesive is coated on the exposed side of the tape (the tape visible once you unwind it from the roll) instead of the liner side (the tape exposed once you remove the liner).

Product Applications

  • Air and weather tight seals
  • Gasketing
  • Cushioning
  • Sound Deadening
  • Vibration control in speakers, vehicles, electronic components and door frames
  • Use on CNC router bed
  • Fill and seal gaps around doors, windows and car or SUV tops for better insulation
  • Clean, waste-free substitute for liquid sealants

NOTE: SCF-02 tape can be special ordered in thicknesses ranging from 1/16" to 1/4" and in widths ranging from 3/16" to 54". Please use the contact us page to inquire whether a particular thickness/width combination not shown below is available and what the minimum order requirement would be for that size.

Perfect for vinyl window pack replacement
JVCC SCF-02 Medium-Density PVC Foam Tape [Single-Sided, Closed Cell]
Replaced two vinyl window packs in my house yesterday, and the new window pack did not come with the foam tape on the outside surface which is used as a seal between the window and the vinyl frame on the side of the window that faces outdoors. This tape was the exact width and thickness that was on my old window packs, and it worked great on my new window packs. Sure made installation of the new window packs simple compared with having to use silicon sealant (less mess, and provides a known and well controlled seal thickness). Perfect for the job.

Ordered this tape for my CNC router bed. Worked well, shipped quickly. I have nothing bad to say.
Made in the USA
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
