Double Sided Adhesive Tape & Foam Lamination for Automotive & Industrial Assembly

  In automotive and industrial assembly, double sided adhesive tape doesn't just hold things together — it also isolates vibration, reduces noise, and cushions components against shock. A foam or felt laminate coated with double-sided adhesive on one or both faces performs four jobs in a single applied component: it bonds the assembly, it dampens the vibration, it deadens the sound, and it protects the part. That's why double sided foam tape and felt laminations have become a standard component in automotive NVH programmes and a go-to assembly solution across manufacturing industries.

Pioneer Tapes manufactures and supplies a complete range of double sided adhesive tape products for automotive and industrial assembly — including foam laminations (EPDM, PU, Nitrile Rubber, XPE, Polyester, EVA, and PP foams), felt laminations, non-woven fabric laminations, and die-cut parts in single and double-sided formats. With or without self-adhesive coating, with or without release liner, and available in various double-sided tape grades for different bonding, cushioning, and NVH requirements.

As a Pune-based industrial tape manufacturer with pan-India supply capability — and a natural supply advantage for the automotive cluster around Pune — we help assembly engineers, procurement teams, and NVH specialists select the right foam type, tape grade, and format for every application. Today, we're proud to support a wide range of multinational companies with our solutions.
 

What is Double Sided Adhesive Tape & Foam Lamination?

Pioneer's double sided adhesive tape range covers a broad family of products built around a common assembly process: a foam, felt, or non-woven fabric substrate is laminated with adhesive on one or both sides and, where required, fitted with a silicone-coated release liner that protects the adhesive face until it is peeled away at the assembly stage. When the release liner is removed at the customer's end, the cushion or laminate is pressed onto the part to be assembled, creating an adhesive bond, a cushioning layer, and a vibration or noise management component — all in a single applied element.

The substrate choice determines the performance character of the finished assembly component. Different foam types offer different combinations of density, compressibility, temperature resistance, oil resistance, and acoustic damping — which is why Pioneer's range spans seven distinct foam types alongside felt and non-woven alternatives. The adhesive grade applied to the foam or felt surface is then specified separately to match the bonding substrate, operating temperature, and required bond permanence.

Pioneer supplies this range in three primary supply formats, each suited to a different production environment:
 

• Foam Laminations (Roll Stock): Foam substrate laminated with adhesive in roll form — supplied in standard widths for cutting to length on the customer's assembly line or fabrication bench.

 

• Felt Laminations & Non-Woven Fabric Parts: Felt and non-woven fabric with adhesive coating — used for sound-deadening, cushioning, and surface protection applications in automotive interiors and industrial assemblies.

 

• Die-Cut Parts (Single & Double Sided): Pre-cut shapes in the exact geometry of the assembly part — eliminating manual cutting at the customer's assembly station and ensuring consistent, precise part placement across high-volume production.

We offer these products in a wide range of foam types, densities, adhesive grades, and formats, and can match them to your exact assembly, bonding, and NVH requirements.
 

Key Features

• Widely Accepted Across Automotive & Industrial Assembly: Pioneer's double sided foam and felt laminations are widely accepted for use in automotive assembly lines and industrial manufacturing environments — used by assembly engineers who need consistent, reliable cushion-and-bond components that perform identically roll to roll and batch to batch.

 

• Noise Reduction & Vibration Controlling: The primary confirmed application purpose on the live product page is noise reduction and vibration controlling in the automobile industry. The foam and felt substrates absorb, dampen, and isolate mechanical vibration and structure-borne noise between bonded components — reducing NVH levels in the assembled vehicle or equipment.

 

• Seven Foam Types for Every Application Profile: EPDM foam, PU foam, Nitrile Rubber foam, XPE foam, Polyester foam, EVA foam, and PP foam — each with a different combination of density, compressibility, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and damping performance. The right foam type is matched to the specific service environment and performance requirement of each assembly application.

 

• Felt & Non-Woven Fabric Options for Sound Deadening: Beyond foam, felt and non-woven fabric laminations provide effective acoustic deadening and surface cushioning properties — particularly relevant for door panel assemblies, floor pan liners, and interior NVH management components where fabric rather than foam is the preferred material.

 

• With or Without Self-Adhesive Coating & Release Liner: Foam and felt parts are available with self-adhesive coating (with release liner removed at the customer's assembly stage) or without adhesive for applications where the material itself is the product and bonding is handled separately. This flexibility allows Pioneer's products to fit into both adhesive-bonded and mechanically fastened assembly processes.

 

• Die-Cut Parts for High-Volume Production Efficiency: Custom die-cut shapes in the exact geometry of the assembly component eliminate manual cutting and trimming on the customer's assembly line, reducing labour, waste, and the inconsistency that comes from hand-cutting foam or felt material at the line. Die-cuts ensure every part is identical across the production run.

 

• Securely Bonds Wood, Steel & Plastic Substrates: The double sided adhesive system bonds reliably to the primary industrial substrates — wood, steel, and plastic — covering the range of assembly surfaces encountered in automotive body, interior, and under-bonnet applications, as well as industrial manufacturing assembly.

 

• Various Grades of Double Sided Tape Available: Pioneer supplies various grades of double sided tape for different bonding, temperature, and service requirements within the foam and felt lamination programme — from standard acrylic adhesive for general assembly bonding to high-performance grades for elevated temperature and high-load applications.

 

Applications of Double Sided Adhesive Tape & Foam Lamination

Automotive NVH — Noise Reduction & Vibration Control

The primary confirmed application is automotive NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) management — where foam and felt laminations with double-sided adhesive are used throughout a vehicle's assembly to reduce the structure-borne noise and vibration that would otherwise transmit from mechanical components into the passenger cabin. This covers an enormous range of specific assembly points within the vehicle:
• Door panel inner face liners — foam laminations bonded between the door inner panel and the door trim to reduce transmitted road and wind noise
• Floor pan acoustic insulators — felt and foam parts bonded to the floor pan to absorb powertrain and road noise
• Firewall and bulkhead insulators — foam laminations isolating the engine bay from the cabin
• Dashboard and instrument panel component cushioning — foam parts preventing rattle between hard components
• Seat frame and adjustment mechanism cushioning — felt and foam parts preventing metal-to-metal contact and associated squeak and rattle

Automotive Trim Mounting & Component Assembly

Double sided foam and felt tape is used throughout automotive interior assembly for bonding trim panels, decorative elements, and interior components — where the foam carrier provides vibration isolation alongside the bonding function. Automotive trim mounting with foam tape eliminates the metal-to-metal contact and potential rattle that mechanical fastener mounting can create at trim-to-body interfaces.

Industrial Assembly — Bonding Wood, Steel & Plastic

The meta-description confirms the double sided adhesive tape range as a perfect solution for securely bonding wood, steel, and plastic in industrial assembly. Across furniture manufacturing, appliance assembly, electronics, and general industrial manufacturing, double sided tape provides a clean, invisible bond between substrates that would otherwise require screws, clips, or liquid adhesive — with the foam carrier adding cushioning and gap-filling properties that thin film tape doesn't provide.

Cushioning, Padding & Surface Protection

Foam laminations without the primary bonding function are used as cushions, pads, and surface protectors in industrial packaging, equipment assembly, and product manufacturing — protecting delicate surfaces from scratching and impact, cushioning components during transit, and providing controlled compression interfaces between assembled parts.

Felt & Non-Woven Lamination for Acoustic Applications

Felt and non-woven fabric laminations with adhesive backing are used for acoustic applications in automotive and industrial settings — applied to panels, enclosures, and structural surfaces to absorb airborne sound and dampen surface vibration. Die-cut felt parts are particularly common in automotive door and floor assemblies where specific acoustic deadening coverage is engineered into the vehicle's NVH design.

Die-Cut Assembly Components for Automotive Production

High-volume automotive assembly operations specify die-cut foam, felt, and non-woven parts that are delivered ready to apply — peel the liner and press to the assembly surface. This format eliminates manual cutting waste, ensures geometric consistency across every vehicle in the production run, and speeds up assembly line cycle times by removing a preparation step from the operator's task sequence.
