13010
13010 is a differential double-coated acrylic dispersion tape constructed on a transparent PET film carrier, with a high-initial-tack acrylic dispersion adhesive on the exposed side and a low-tack, nearly removable acrylic dispersion adhesive on the covered side. Total thickness without liner is 0.11–0.13 mm. The exposed side delivers 21 N/25mm peel on steel at 24-hour dwell while the covered side delivers only 0.5 N/25mm — an asymmetric design engineered for removable mounting where clean release on one face is required.

- Carpet base installation on most flooring surfaces where clean removability is required
- Temporary mounting for trade shows, events, and exhibition graphics
- Renovation project bonding where the tape must later be removed without residue or damage
- Industrial mounting aid applications requiring repositioning during placement
- Differential bonding where one surface requires permanent contact and the other requires clean release
Common industries: Flooring and carpet installation, exhibition and events, commercial renovation, industrial mounting.
13010 is a differential double-coated acrylic tape — meaning the two adhesive faces are deliberately formulated to deliver very different bond strengths. The transparent PET film carrier provides the mechanical separation needed to maintain the performance difference between the two adhesive systems.
The exposed side uses a modified acrylic dispersion with high initial tack suitable for aggressive bonding to the primary substrate; the liner side uses a low-tack acrylic dispersion that is nearly removable, providing clean release with no adhesive residue on the secondary substrate.
Typical applications include removable bonds for industrial mounting aids, renovation projects, events, and trade shows. The product is commonly used as a carpet base for application to most flooring surfaces, where the low-tack side enables clean removal. The TDS explicitly warns that 13010 is not approved for premium stone or premium hardwood surfaces, as visible alterations to the surface finish may occur.
The tape can be easily repositioned during application and removed without residue. Performance characteristics include high shear strength (1,000 g/2mm static shear after 1 hour), a shear adhesion failure temperature of 194°F, and a temperature resistance range of −22°F to 212°F. Aging resistance, condensation water resistance, and plasticizer resistance are all rated High. Recommended processing temperature is 50°F to 86°F.
Shelf life is 12 months from date of shipment at 40–60% humidity and 60°F to 80°F.
What differentiates 13010 from standard symmetric double-coated tapes?
13010 is a differential double-coated tape — the two faces carry very different adhesive systems and therefore very different bond strengths. The exposed side is a high-tack acrylic dispersion for primary bonding (21 N/25mm on steel at 24 hours), while the covered side is a low-tack, nearly removable acrylic dispersion (0.5 N/25mm on steel). This asymmetric architecture is engineered for applications where one face must bond permanently and the opposite face must release cleanly without residue.
Why is peel adhesion important when selecting this tape?
For a differential removable tape, peel adhesion is the primary design specification — the performance difference between faces is the entire product benefit. The TDS reports peel values on both faces across four substrates (aluminum, glass, PP, steel) and multiple dwell times, allowing specifiers to verify that the low-tack side will release cleanly from the intended temporary substrate while the high-tack side anchors firmly to the permanent surface.
What is the temperature range for 13010?
13010 has a temperature resistance range of −22°F to 212°F, with a shear adhesion failure temperature of 194°F and a recommended processing temperature of 50°F to 86°F.
Is 13010 suitable for use on premium flooring surfaces?
No. The TDS explicitly states 13010 is not approved for applications on premium stone or premium hardwood surfaces, as visible alterations to the surface finish may occur. For those surfaces, a different adhesive system should be specified. No specific regulatory compliance standards are listed on the TDS for this material.
How should 13010 be specified?
Specify grade (13010), thickness (0.11–0.13 mm), orientation (exposed high-tack side to permanent substrate / liner side to removable substrate), target substrates (confirming neither is premium stone or premium hardwood), compliance requirements, dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
