Double Sided Tape 0.5 mm Thick
OPALUS PACK manufactures double sided tape 0.5 mm thick for low-profile bonding where parts need to sit close, flat, and clean after assembly. This 0.5mm double sided tape is mainly used when a thin foam layer is needed to improve surface contact without creating a raised edge. It is available in slit rolls, sheets, pads, and die-cut parts, with width, length, liner, and adhesive choices confirmed according to the material surface and production method.
- Thickness: 0.5mm total thickness, typical tolerance +/-0.05mm.
- Carrier: closed cell PE foam with pressure sensitive adhesive.
- Colors: black, white, or gray foam.
- Width: 5mm-1240mm, slit by requirement.
- Length: 10m, 20m, 50m, or converted production rolls.
- Format: slit rolls, sheets, pads, and die-cut parts.
Key Features of Acrylic Double-Sided Tape
Product Overview
A 0.5mm double sided tape is often chosen when a film tape feels too thin, but 1mm or 1.1mm foam tape would make the bonded part stand too high. The PE foam carrier gives a small amount of compression, helping the adhesive contact flat plastic, coated metal, glass, painted surfaces, and smooth nameplate backs more evenly.
In OPALUS PACK sample fit checks, 0.5mm PE foam tape gives a neater side profile on close-fitting parts than thicker foam tapes. After rolling pressure, the 0.5mm sample usually keeps the edge lower, while 1mm and 1.1mm samples provide more compression but also lift the part more visibly. This difference matters for overlays, trims, badges, control panels, and narrow strips where edge height can affect the final appearance.
This product is not made to cover large gaps or rough surfaces. If the bonding surface has molded ribs, powder coating texture, deep scratches, or a clear height difference, a thicker tape may be safer.
Benefits
- Keeps the bonded part close to the base surface with a lower bond line.
- Helps fill slight gaps that film-only adhesive may not contact evenly.
- Gives a cleaner edge profile than 1mm or 1.1mm tape on flat parts.
- Works well for smooth panels, badges, trims, overlays, and thin strips.
- Can be slit into narrow rolls for frame bonding and edge bonding.
- Can be converted into pads, kiss-cut pieces, or shaped die-cut parts.
When Is 0.5mm Thickness the Better Choice?
0.5mm thickness is the better choice when the two parts already match well and the adhesive layer should stay thin, neat, and controlled. This thin foam mounting tape is not selected for heavy cushioning; it is selected when the assembly only needs slight gap compensation and stable surface contact. In a 0.5mm vs 1mm / 1.1mm sample comparison, the thinner tape normally gives lower edge height, while thicker tape gives more compression. If the part has uneven molded marks, coarse texture, or a larger assembly gap, moving to a thicker specification is usually more reliable.

Applications
- Nameplates and badges where the bond line should stay thin.
- Smooth plastic panels that need light gap compensation.
- Coated metal parts with low edge height requirements.
- Control panel overlays, decorative strips, and flat trim pieces.
- Glass or painted parts after cleaning and sample testing.
- Die-cut pads for fixed outlines, holes, corners, or tabs.
How Should Roll Width, Length, and Die-Cut Format Be Confirmed?
For double sided tape 0.5 mm thick, thickness is only the starting point. The roll width, roll length, liner type, and converted format should match the way the tape will be applied. Narrow slit rolls are practical for continuous placement, while sheets, pads, and kiss-cut pieces reduce handling time when the tape needs to follow holes, corners, tabs, or fixed outlines. For simple shapes, die-cut tolerance can be reviewed around +/-0.3mm, but narrow bridges, small holes, and thin frames need drawing confirmation. A 0.5mm structure cuts cleanly, but bonding area, liner stability, part size, and placement tolerance should still be tested with samples.
FAQ
Is 0.5mm tape suitable for uneven surfaces?
It is suitable for flat surfaces and slight gaps. For rough, curved, or clearly uneven surfaces, 1mm or 1.1mm tape may provide better compression and contact.
What is the difference between 0.5mm and 1mm double sided tape?
0.5mm tape gives a lower bond line and cleaner edge. 1mm tape provides more cushioning and gap filling but increases visible thickness.
Can this tape be supplied as die-cut parts?
Yes. OPALUS PACK can convert it into slit rolls, sheets, pads, kiss-cut pieces, or shaped parts after checking the drawing, liner, and tolerance.
What should be tested before production use?
Surface material, bonding area, pressure, dwell time, peel adhesion, holding power, liner release, and part fit should be checked with samples.
