Overview
The Pres-On P8137 (SC 42-UL) foam adhesive tape is a black, closed-cell neoprene/EPDM/SBR blend foam featuring high-tack pressure-sensitive rubber adhesive on one side with convenient release liner. Designed for specification-grade industrial applications, this single-sided tape combines structural integrity with reliable bonding performance across temperature and chemical environments.
Key Features
- Closed-cell foam absorbs shock and dampens sound and vibrations
- Single-sided adhesive with release liner for easy application
- High-tack rubber-based PSA for immediate and sustained bonding
- Resists acids, alkali, ozone, and oxidation
- UL 157, UL 50, UL 508, UL 50E compliant; passes UL 94 HF1 flammability
- Temperature range: –40°F to +250°F (consult manufacturer for extended ranges)
