BRADY Ultra Aggressive Adhesive Double-Sided Acrylic Foam Tape, 25.4 mm x 4.57 m, Clear

Maintenance crews and assembly technicians reach for this tape when they need a bond that holds up to vibration, temperature swings, and outdoor exposure. The BRADY Ultra Aggressive Adhesive is a double-sided acrylic foam tape that delivers exceptional peel and shear strength on metals, glass, high surface energy plastics, and painted surfaces. Its 1.0 mm thick foam core conforms to slight surface irregularities, while the clear adhesive layer provides a clean, professional finish.

Why choose it

This tape is engineered for demanding permanent bonding applications where mechanical fasteners are impractical or undesirable. The acrylic foam construction provides excellent UV and water resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It offers very high shear strength and peel adhesion, ensuring a reliable bond even under stress. The red polyethylene liner protects the adhesive until application and is easy to remove.

Ideal use cases

• Mounting signage, nameplates, and trim on vehicles and equipment
• Bonding metal, glass, and plastic components in industrial assembly
• Replacing rivets, screws, and liquid adhesives in high-vibration environments
• Outdoor applications requiring weatherproof and UV-stable bonding

Good to know

For best results, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, and grease. Apply firm pressure during installation to ensure full contact. The tape reaches full strength after 72 hours, so avoid heavy loads during the curing period. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
