This red PET (polyester) tape features strong adhesive strength, water resistance, and high temperature resistance, making it the preferred choice for electronics repair, automotive applications, and general mounting tasks. At Credible Point, we offer this premium double sided tape in Nairobi, available in various sizes and thicknesses to suit your specific needs across the city.

What is PET Double Sided Tape?

PET (Polyester) double sided tape is a high-performance adhesive tape known for its exceptional holding power, dimensional stability, and resistance to environmental factors . Unlike ordinary foam tapes that can degrade over time, PET tape maintains its bond even under challenging conditions.

Key characteristics include:

Invisible Bonding: The tape is designed to bond two surfaces together invisibly, creating a clean, professional finish without visible adhesive lines .

Strong Adhesive Strength: The aggressive acrylic adhesive provides excellent initial tack and long-term holding power, ensuring your repairs and installations stay secure .

Water Resistance: The adhesive formulation resists moisture, making it suitable for applications that may be exposed to humidity or occasional water contact .

High Temperature Resistance: PET tape can withstand elevated temperatures without losing bond strength, making it ideal for applications near heat sources or in warm climates .

Transparent Carrier: The clear PET film carrier provides dimensional stability while remaining virtually invisible in the bonded joint .

Why Double Sided Tape is Essential for Phone Repair

Double sided tape is the industry standard for smartphone screen repair and battery replacement. The red PET tape is the preferred choice because:

Precise Application: The thin, uniform thickness ensures proper screen alignment and maintains the factory look. It is widely used in the repair of various devices including iPhone, Samsung, Huawei, Tecno, Infinix, OPPO, and other models.

Strong Bond: It securely holds the screen or back cover in place, preventing dust ingress and restoring structural integrity.

Easy Application: The tape can be precisely cut to fit the narrow bezels of modern smartphones.

How to Use Double Sided Tape for Phone Screen Repair

Follow these steps for professional results:

1. Clean Surfaces: Remove all old adhesive residue from the phone frame and screen using isopropyl alcohol. The surfaces must be completely clean and dry for maximum adhesion.

2. Cut to Size: Measure the tape against the phone frame and cut to the exact length using a sharp craft knife or scissors.

3. Apply to Frame: Peel the liner from one side of the tape and carefully apply it to the phone frame, aligning it precisely along the edges.

4. Press Firmly: Use a soft tool, like a spudger or a clean cloth, to press the tape firmly into place, ensuring good contact.

5. Remove Second Liner: Peel off the remaining protective liner, exposing the second adhesive side.

6. Install Screen: Carefully align and install the new screen, pressing firmly around the edges to ensure a tight seal.

Thin vs. Thick Tape Comparison

Thin Tape (50m roll, 3m x 1 inch)

The thin variant is ideal for applications where minimal thickness is critical:

• Phone Screen Repair: The thin profile ensures the screen sits flush with the frame

• Tight Tolerance Bonding: For precision applications where adhesive thickness matters

• Layered Assemblies: When stacking multiple components

• Invisible Bonding: The tape disappears completely between properly mated surfaces

Thick Tape (5m x 1 inch, 5m x 2 inch)

The thick variant provides additional gap-filling capability:

• Car Trim Attachment: Compensates for slight irregularities in trim or body panels

• Uneven Surface Bonding: Fills small gaps between mismatched surfaces

• Vibration Dampening: The thicker adhesive layer absorbs more vibration

• Outdoor Applications: Better conformability to temperature-induced expansion and contraction

Adhesion Tips for Best Results

1. Surface Preparation is Critical: The bonding surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or old adhesive residue.

2. Apply Firm Pressure: After positioning the tape, apply firm, even pressure to ensure complete contact. For best results, use a roller or a flat, smooth tool.

3. Allow Time to Set: Maximum bond strength is typically achieved after 24-72 hours.

4. Apply at Room Temperature: Adhesion is optimal when both the tape and the surfaces are at room temperature (approximately 20-25°C / 68-77°F).

5. Do Not Touch Adhesive: Handle the tape by the edges or the liner to avoid contaminating the adhesive with skin oils.
