Double Side Cloth Tape

A strong bond on both sides — built to hold, flexible enough to conform, easy enough to tear by hand.

Some bonding jobs need more than a thin film tape can deliver — a carpet that has to stay flat under foot traffic, a trade show carpet that has to come up clean at the end of the event, an automotive trim panel that has to hold through years of vibration. Double sided cloth tape exists precisely for this middle ground: stronger and more durable than standard double-sided tape, more conformable and easier to work with than rigid mounting tapes.

Pioneer Tapes manufactures and supplies double sided cloth tape for carpet installation, event and trade show setups, mounting and positioning, automotive interior assembly, and a wide range of industrial bonding applications across India. The cloth backing gives this tape a unique combination of high-tack adhesion, durability, and flexibility that standard double-sided film tapes simply can't match.

As a Pune-based industrial cloth tape manufacturer with pan-India supply capability, we help flooring contractors, event organisers, and manufacturing teams select the right tack level and adhesive system for their surface and application. Today, we're proud to support a wide range of multinational companies with our solutions.

What is Double Sided Cloth Tape?

Double sided cloth tape is a fabric-backed pressure-sensitive tape coated with adhesive on both sides, allowing it to bond two surfaces together rather than simply attaching a single surface to itself. The woven cloth core sits between the two adhesive layers, giving the tape mechanical strength, durability, and a degree of flexibility that plain film-backed double-sided tapes don't have. Where a thin polyester double-sided tape can tear or delaminate under stress, the fabric reinforcement in cloth tape holds the bond together even when the tape itself is flexed, stretched, or subjected to repeated foot traffic and vibration.

The adhesive systems used on double sided cloth tape vary by application. Rubber adhesive formulations deliver high initial tack and strong bonding on rough or uneven surfaces — the standard choice for carpet fixing and general industrial bonding. Hot melt adhesive variants offer aggressive grab and fast bonding, often preferred for high-speed application processes. Both are engineered to bond firmly while still allowing the tape to be torn cleanly by hand during application — no scissors or blade required.

Pioneer Tapes supplies double sided cloth tape across grades suited to different bonding requirements:
 

• High Tack Cloth Tape: Maximum adhesion for permanent or long-duration bonding — carpet installation, automotive component fixing, and heavy-duty mounting applications where the bond needs to hold for the long term.

 

• Residue-Resistant / Temporary Fixing Cloth Tape: Formulated for clean removal after the bonding period — ideal for trade show and event setups, temporary carpet installations, and any application where the surface underneath needs to come away undamaged.

We offer tapes in a wide range of colours, and can match them to your exact requirements to ensure they align perfectly with your branding and application needs.
 

Key Features
 

• Strong Adhesion on Both Sides: Double sided cloth tape offers high-tack adhesion on both faces, ensuring a strong bond between surfaces even on uneven or rough textures — a meaningful advantage over film-backed double-sided tape, which often struggles to grip textured or irregular surfaces consistently.

 

• Built-In Durability from the Cloth Backing: The woven cloth core provides exceptional durability and resistance to wear and tear, making this tape suitable for heavy-duty applications that would quickly degrade a standard double-sided tape — repeated foot traffic, mechanical vibration, and sustained mechanical load.

 

• Flexible & Conformable: The fabric backing flexes and conforms easily to irregular and uneven surfaces, maintaining full adhesive contact where a rigid tape would lift or gap at the edges. This versatility is what makes cloth tape suitable for such a wide range of applications, from flat flooring to curved automotive trim.

 

• Easy to Tear by Hand: Despite its strength, double sided cloth tape tears cleanly by hand across the width of the roll, eliminating the need for scissors or cutting tools during application — a genuine time-saver on installation jobs and event setups where speed matters.

 

• Wide Temperature Resistance: Engineered to withstand a wide range of temperatures, this tape performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor applications — from climate-controlled retail environments to outdoor event setups and automotive interiors that see significant temperature swings.

 

• Residue-Free Removal Option: Grades formulated for temporary use leave minimal or no adhesive residue when removed, making them ideal for trade show carpets, temporary signage, and any application where the underlying surface needs to remain clean and undamaged afterward.

 

• Moisture & Humidity Resistant: The tape performs well in moist or humid environments, maintaining a strong bond even in challenging climatic conditions — relevant for outdoor events, humid warehouse environments, and regions with high seasonal humidity.

 

• Effective for Sound & Vibration Dampening: The tape's thickness and flexibility make it useful for soundproofing and vibration reduction applications, including in electronics assembly and machinery, where the cloth layer absorbs and dampens mechanical vibration between bonded surfaces.

 

Applications of Double Sided Cloth Tape

Carpet Installation & Flooring

Double sided cloth tape is one of the most widely used solutions for securing carpets and rugs in place, preventing movement underfoot and ensuring a secure, professional fit without the mess or permanence of adhesive glue. For carpet fixing, the tape is typically applied along the perimeter of the area and across the middle in a crisscross pattern, which keeps the carpet firmly anchored across its full surface rather than just at the edges.

Trade Shows, Events & Temporary Setups

Event organisers and exhibition stand builders rely on double sided cloth tape for temporary carpet installation, banner mounting, and display securing — applications where the setup needs to hold firmly for the duration of the event and then come up cleanly afterward without damaging the venue floor or surfaces. For these jobs, a residue-resistant grade is generally specified, and the tape should be applied evenly and removed slowly at a sharp angle to avoid leaving residue behind.

Mounting & Positioning

Double sided cloth tape is commonly used for mounting items such as posters, signs, lightweight fixtures, and display panels — providing a secure hold without the need for nails, screws, or other hardware that would damage the mounting surface. For heavier items, multiple strips of tape or a combination with other mounting solutions is recommended to distribute the load adequately.

Automotive Interior & Trim Assembly

In the automotive industry, double sided cloth tape is used for securing interior panels, trims, side mouldings, and other components that require a strong yet occasionally removable bond. The flexibility of the cloth backing allows it to conform to curved trim profiles, while the adhesive strength holds firmly through years of vehicle vibration and temperature cycling. Clean, dry surfaces are essential here — and for heavier trim components, multiple strips are often used for added security.

Construction & Remodelling
On construction and renovation sites, double sided cloth tape is used for splicing materials, securing flooring underlays, and holding components together temporarily during assembly before permanent fixing is completed. Its strength and conformability make it a practical solution for a range of incidental bonding tasks that arise during a build.

Packaging & Bundling

Where standard packaging tape doesn't provide sufficient holding strength, double sided cloth tape is used to secure items during packaging and bundling — particularly for irregular shapes or heavier components that need a stronger bond between layers than a single-sided tape can offer.

Sound & Vibration Dampening

The thickness and flexibility of cloth tape make it effective for soundproofing and vibration reduction in electronics assembly and machinery applications. For best results in these applications, the tape is often applied in layers or alongside other sound-dampening materials to maximise its effectiveness.
