- Specialty Tapes
Fralock is a provider of specialty tapes and films that are made to hold up in a wide range of environments. Used for bonding, sound/vibration dampening, surface protection, wire wrapping, heat shielding, thermal insulation, UV blocking, moisture barriers, and part masking, our tapes are made to order and are available with or without adhesive, adhesive on one or two sides, and zone-coated. Our engineers can help you determine which tape or film will work best for your application.
Fralock provides specialty tapes and films for high-reliability applications: satellites, missiles and aircraft, space vehicles, industrial, and semiconductor manufacturing. Fralock tapes are used in construction, assembly, maintenance, and repair in demanding applications in which specified requirements are needed.
Our pressure sensitive adhesive systems are available in a variety of types and configurations, including low outgassing silicone pressure-sensitive adhesives, optically clear high-temperature adhesives, and adhesive coating technologies. All of these products can be laminated and die-cut to your specifications.

Specialty Tapes for Demanding Applications:
Our tapes are manufactured with a range of materials that are suitable for different environments and applications.
- Polyimide Tapes – is used for insulation of electronics and for heat resistance. It is widely used for spacecraft due to its light weight. Polyimide tapes are extremely durable and are used to protect surfaces at extreme temperatures.
- Foil Tapes – are used to damp vibration and mask surfaces during paint stripping.
- Glass Cloth Tape – Used primarily in aerospace applications, it is extremely flame retardant, solvent resistant, and used to protect heat-sensitive devices in areas exposed to high temperatures.
- Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Tapes – used in VHB joining systems, PSA transfer adhesives, Bumpon materials, hook and loop, tubing, sleeving, and adhesive technologies
- Electrical, electronic and industrial pressure sensitive tapes
- Specialty Silicone, acrylic and rubber pressure sensitive tapes
- Double-coated and transfer tapes
- Silicone foam and rubber, pressure sensitive tape
- PTFE impregnated glass cloth, skived PTFE and phase-change thermal management materials
Specialty tapes and materials designed with your specific application in mind. Mix and match any material we carry or use your specified material.
