Extruded polystyrene (XPS) board is a durable insulation material with a smooth, low-energy surface that makes tape adhesion challenging. Selecting the right tape ensures a strong, lasting bond. Acrylic adhesive tape offers high adhesion and environmental resistance, while butyl rubber tape excels in waterproofing. Double-sided foam tape provides grip and flexibility for mounting, and aluminum foil tape is ideal for thermal insulation. Key factors for selection include adhesion strength, environmental resistance, and chemical compatibility. Proper surface preparation further enhances bonding effectiveness, ensuring durability in various applications.
