Foam sealing materials play a critical role in protecting products, structures, and systems from air, water, dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. Yet one of the most misunderstood performance factors in foam sealing is how materials respond to thermal expansion and compression. When temperatures rise and fall, foam gaskets and tapes continuously expand, contract, and compress—sometimes […]

In window construction, manufacturing, and architectural design, a secure, weather-tight seal is essential for performance, safety, and longevity. Glazing tape delivers that seal in applications where glass meets frame, combining high-performance adhesives with a resilient foam core to create a bond that stands up to environmental stress, temperature shifts, and structural movement. Understanding the role

In today’s highly regulated markets, product safety, and compliance are more than just quality indicators. They are essential requirements that manufacturers sourcing foam, adhesive, and sealing solutions look for. At Gaska Tape Inc., we’re proud to offer UL-recognized component products that meet the strict standards set by UL Solutions (formerly Underwriters Laboratories). In this article,

When it comes to adhering to materials in industrial, automotive, construction, or consumer applications, adhesive strength and durability are critical to performance. Selecting the wrong adhesive, or not fully understanding the environment and stressors it will face can result in costly failures, delays, or rework. This paper helps to explain what adhesive strength means and

When your application demands performance in extreme environments, whether it’s intense heat, persistent moisture, or exposure to chemicals—selecting the right foam sealing tape is critical. In industries like automotive, marine, HVAC, construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing, a poorly chosen adhesive or substrate can result in equipment failure, compromised safety, or expensive maintenance. In this guide,

In the world of adhesives and sealing technologies, there’s no shortage of options. From industrial-strength epoxies to flexible silicone sealants and spray foams, each product serves a unique purpose. However, one solution has gained increasing attention for its versatility and efficiency: foam tape. Known for its ease of application, cushioning properties, and reliable sealing capabilities,

Foam materials are widely used across various industries, from construction and automotive to medical and consumer products. One of the critical properties that determine the long-term performance of foam is compression set—a measure of how well foam retains its original shape after prolonged compression. Understanding compression set is essential for selecting the right foam material

In an era where energy efficiency is a top priority for builders, architects, and property owners, finding innovative solutions to minimize energy waste is essential. Foam tape has become a critical component in achieving energy efficiency in buildings, thanks to its versatility and effectiveness in sealing gaps, insulating surfaces, and enhancing thermal performance. Here, we

In today’s fast-paced world, where noise pollution is a growing concern, finding effective ways to reduce unwanted sound is crucial. Foam tape has emerged as a versatile and practical solution for noise reduction and acoustic insulation in various industries, including automotive, construction, HVAC, and electronics. This article explores the science behind foam tape’s soundproofing capabilities,
