Light density PVC foam tape is the industry-standard for sealing, weatherproofing, and gasketing applications. This tape, typically 6-8 lbs. per cubic foot in density, is engineered for durability, flexibility, and long-lasting performance, and designed to meet the needs of various industries, from construction to automotive.
The key feature of light density PVC foam tape is its remarkable ability to conform to uneven surfaces. This makes it highly suitable for applications where flexibility and compressibility are essential, such as weatherstripping and vibration dampening.
Capital Tape offers several variants of light density foam tape, including automotive-grade and fire-resistant tapes, and all of them can be cut to any size and shipped out to where you need them.

The advantages of Capital Tape’s light density PVC foam tape
One of the main advantages of light density PVC foam is its inherent resistance to various environmental factors. It is naturally resistant to fire, ultraviolet rays, chemicals, acids, and solvents. This durability makes it an ideal choice for both outdoor and indoor sealing applications, where long-term exposure to harsh conditions could compromise lesser materials.
In addition to its resistance, the tape’s compressibility is a key benefit. When compressed by 30% or more, the foam tape forms an impenetrable barrier against air, moisture, light, and dust. This makes it particularly useful in industries requiring airtight seals, such as in log home building, window glazing, and shower sealing. Its ability to prevent leaks, combined with its conformability, ensures a reliable and tight fit in every use.
Light density PVC foam tape is a cost-effective substitute for polyurethane foam substrates. With its exceptional strength and wear resistance, it can outperform other foams while providing a more economical solution. This makes it the material of choice for sealing and gasketing applications, especially in industries where budget and performance are both critical.
Cuts, applications, and lead times
Capital Tape’s light density PVC foam tape is available in various sizes, ranging from 1/16″ to 3/4″ as standard, but is available in non-standard cuts as well, allowing it to meet diverse project requirements. This versatility ensures that the product can be customized to suit specific application needs.
Lead times for light density PVC foam tape depend on the order size and customization. Standard orders of up to 54 cases are typically fulfilled within 1-2 business days (and sometimes we can get it to you same-day!), while non-standard and custom requests may take 3-5 business days. This fast turnaround ensures that businesses can rely on quick delivery times to keep their projects on schedule.
Applications for light density PVC foam tape extend across multiple industries. It is commonly used for weather-stripping in doors and windows, as well as sealing in shower and bath installations. In the automotive industry, the tape’s automotive-grade variants are widely applied for vibration dampening and gasketing. Additionally, its weather-resistant properties make it ideal for log home building, where environmental sealing is critical.
Capital Tape’s line of light density PVC foam tape offers a combination of flexibility, durability, and cost-efficiency that makes it an indispensable tool in various industrial applications and its long-lasting performance ensures that it remains a top choice for jobs well done. Capital Tape continues to innovate in this space, delivering quality solutions tailored to the needs of diverse industries.
