Double Coated Cloth Carpet Tape

Double Bond Tape Company is a manufacturer of Double Coated Cloth Carpet Tape for carpet backing, floor covering, carpet joining, and rough surface bonding where thin film tape may not give enough surface contact. Built with a cloth/fabric carrier and adhesive coated on both sides, this tape gives better tensile support during carpet positioning and better wet-out on fibrous or lightly uneven surfaces. It is available in standard rolls, slit rolls, and made-to-width rolls for floor covering work.

Product Overview

Double Coated Cloth Carpet Tape is made for bonding carpet backing to floor covering materials, wood, tile, coated flooring, prepared concrete, and other surfaces that need stronger contact than a thin carrier tape can normally provide. The cloth structure sits inside the adhesive layer, giving the tape more body and helping it stay stable when carpet edges are pressed, pulled, or aligned during installation.

This construction is useful because carpet backing is rarely a perfectly smooth surface. It may include yarn texture, latex coating, woven structure, foam layer, or small contact gaps. A very thin film tape can bridge over these areas without enough adhesive contact. With higher adhesive coating weight and a flexible fabric base, this tape can press into those small surface variations more effectively. In reference checks, initial wet-out is usually reviewed after 20-30 minutes, with final bond observation after 24 hours.

For production reference, total thickness is typically around 180-320 um, depending on adhesive coating weight and liner selection. Peel adhesion to steel is commonly tested around 12-25 N/25 mm after 24-hour dwell at room condition. These are typical reference values, so actual carpet backing, floor coating, concrete condition, and removal behavior should be checked before larger use.

 

Benefits

• Better contact on textured materials: The cloth/fabric carrier and thicker adhesive layer help the tape bond to carpet backing, woven surfaces, coated floors, wood, tile, and lightly uneven substrates.
• More tensile support than thin film tape: Typical tensile strength can reach 50-80 N/25 mm as a reference value, helping reduce stretching during carpet joining and edge alignment.
• Double coated bonding structure: One adhesive side bonds with the carpet backing, while the other bonds with the floor substrate or covering material for a clean hidden bond line.
• Stable handling during seam work: The fabric base helps the tape stay in place when carpet edges are adjusted or pressed into position.
• Controlled roll converting: Standard slit rolls can usually be controlled within +/-0.5 mm width tolerance for more consistent floor covering installation.
• Useful pre-use testing: Sample rolls can be checked for first tack, 24-hour dwell strength, edge lifting, residue behavior, and floor coating compatibility before larger use.

Where does cloth carrier tape perform better than film tape?

Cloth carrier tape works better when the surface has texture, fibers, or slight unevenness. Film tape is often a good choice for flat plastic, metal, or laminated panels where a thin bond line is needed. For textured backing, flooring placement, and uneven surface contact, the fabric carrier gives the adhesive more body and better tensile support. Under firm roller pressure, the adhesive can flow into small gaps in the backing or floor texture. For this reason, wet-out should be checked after 20-30 minutes and reviewed again after 24 hours for edge lifting or weak contact points.

 

Applications

1. Carpet backing adhesive tape for commercial carpet installation
2. Carpet joining tape for seams, edges, and floor transitions
3. Floor covering placement for exhibition flooring, mat fixing, and flooring material positioning
4. Bonding support for rough, fibrous, or lightly uneven surfaces
5. Bonding carpet pads, fabric-backed parts, and selected rubber sheets
6. Edge holding for carpet rolls where stable contact and clean positioning are required
7. Bonding on wood, tile, coated floors, and prepared concrete with light surface texture
8. Industrial floor covering work where higher tensile support is needed than thin carrier tape

How should carpet backing and floor surfaces be checked before application?

Before applying this double sided cloth tape, both the carpet backing and the floor surface should be clean, dry, firm, and free from loose dust, wax, oil, moisture, or weak coatings. A small test strip is recommended because vinyl flooring, painted floors, wood, tile, concrete, and different carpet backings can show different adhesion and residue behavior. Press the tape firmly so the adhesive reaches the surface texture, then check bond strength after dwell time instead of judging only by first tack.

FAQ

1. Is this tape better than film tape for carpet backing?

Yes, when the surface is rough or fibrous. The cloth/fabric carrier and thicker adhesive layer usually create better contact than thin film tape on textured carpet backing.

2. Can this tape be used on concrete floors?

It can be tested on clean, dry, and firm concrete. Dusty, damp, or powdery concrete may reduce adhesion and should be prepared before application.

3. What thickness is commonly used for floor covering work?

Typical reference thickness is around 180-320 um, depending on adhesive coating weight, carrier structure, and release liner choice.

4. Can the tape be supplied in made-to-width rolls?

Yes. Double Bond Tape Company can produce slit rolls for carpet joining, floor covering, and rough surface bonding applications, with standard slitting tolerance commonly
