Micro-Suction Tape

Sticks to flat surfaces with no glue.

This tape has thousands of microscopic craters in its surface, functioning like micro suction cups. It sticks without glue to smooth surfaces such as glass, plastic, or painted wood. It has a conventional adhesive on the opposite side for mounting on objects and products.

Applications for micro-suction tape:

It is used to fix chargers and docking stations for smartphones, digital cameras, and tablet PCs on tables and other flat surfaces. It is used at the bottom of credit card readers. It is also used for gaskets in a cellular phone assembly. A gasket made from this tape shuts out the dust perfectly, but it can still be removed if repair is needed. Guitar players use the tape on guitar picks so they can stick them onto their guitars.

More information:

The tape loses some of its suction power when it becomes dirty, but it is possible to clean it by touching it repeatedly with sticky side of gaffa tape or by wiping it with a wet tissue. It doesn't work very well when wet. 

We can cut it for you:

We have digital knife cutting machines and experience to cut the micro-suction tape to the shape you need for your application. We can supply both small quantities for low volume products and larger volumes of up to 25.000 pieces per order. Please contact us to get a quote.

Questions & Answers

Ask a Question

  • What kind of adhesive is used on the reverse and is it removable if need be?

    It is a strong acrylic adhesive. The adhesion depends on the surface to which the tape is attached. It is possible to peel the tape off, but it is a soft foam tape, so it has a tendency to break when peeled. You can therefore be forced to peel it off in smaller pieces, and it will also often leave some glue residue, that you can remove with a solvent.

  • Does the tape works if it is wet? or exposed to humidity?

    It will not work if it is placed on a wet surface because the water fills the holes and thereby prevents the suction.  

  • What would be the best way to clean this without damaging or reducing the longevity of the tape

    The best way to clean it is to touch the micro-suction surface repeatedly with the sticky side of normal packaging tape. The dirt that has entered the pores of the micro-suction tape will instead attach to the glue of the packing tape.    

  • What's the difference between the different thickness of the Micro-suction tape? Are they more/less adhesive? I'm looking to use it to attach power bank to mobile phones. Also, how easily does it accumulate dirt if left without cover?

    The thicker tape has a higher apparent holding force. It more pliable compared with the thin tape and it therefore conforms better to the surface it is attached to.
    It will pick up dirt if left uncovered and this will reduce the holding force. It can be cleaned again easily, but we recommend that you cover the tape with a thin plastic sheet or film when it is not in use.   

  • At what temperature does it begin to melt and fail?

    The permanent adhesive on the backside will soften as the temperature increases and at some point it will release from the underlying surface. The exact temperature where it fails depends on the type of material it is attached to and on the load that is applied. 

    The core of the tape will also soften when heated which can lead to delamination if you try to remove the tape while it is too hot.

    I suggest you test the tape for your specific application.  

  • I am looking for a micro-suction tape product with a thickness of 0.3 mm. But I can only find 0.5 mm. How to buy 0.3 mm tape products?

    The 0.3 mm variant has been discontinued, so it is no longer available.
