What is Permanent Removable Tape?

Permanent/removable tape:  It seems like an oxymoron:  how can a tape be permanent yet removable??  A permanent/removable is a double coated tape, one side is a permanent adhesive and one side is a removable adhesive, separated by a film carrier. Why would you want such a tape?? 

Permanent/removable is used in applications where you want a permanent bond to one substrate and a removable bond on another substrate. Think of a window graphic as an advertisement or a sales promotion: the permanent adhesive bonds to the printed graphic, while the removable adhesive bonds to a glass window or door. Eventually, you will want to remove the graphic and promote the next big thing!  A permanent/removable tape is perfect for ad/sales campaigns or for use in applications where you will eventually remove the tape from the product. 

Nova Films & Foils has an entire line of permanent/removable products depending on your application needs.  Our removable adhesive tapes seperates cleanly from glass, even after prolonged adhesion.
