Norbond® Acrylic and Polyurethane Foam Tapes

Bond Stronger. Build Faster. Design Cleaner.

Norbond Acrylic and Polyurethane Foam Tapes deliver durable, high-strength bonds for automotive, industrial, and architectural assemblies. 

 

Engineered for demanding environments, Norbond simplifies assembly by replacing mechanical fasteners and liquid adhesives, reducing weight, improving aesthetics, and accelerating production. 

 

In 2026, Norbond will also integrate Biolink® Specialty Adhesive Tapes including products like relink, translink, and prolink to offer a complete bonding portfolio under one master brand.

What Problems Does Norbond Solve?

Exterior Attachment

Exterior Trim and Body Side Molding Attachment

Reliable bonding of dissimilar substrates in exterior trim and body side molding applications to withstand temperature extremes, moisture, vibration, and long-term environmental exposure.

Interior Bonding

Interior Electronics Integration

Secure bonding that withstands vibration, thermal loads, tight tolerances, and long-term in-cabin environmental stresses for interior electronic components integrating.

Façade

Window and Façade Bonding

(Brazil and South America only). Bonding of windows and façades that withstand wind loads, thermal expansion, moisture exposure, and long-term weathering in demanding architectural applications.

Signage

Panel Stiffeners and Signage

Reliable adhesion for panel stiffeners and signage that withstands mechanical loads, thermal expansion, vibration, and long-term environmental exposure.

Splicing

High-performance Lamination and Splicing

(Biolink) High-performance lamination and splicing solutions that ensure reliable adhesion at high line speeds, minimize downtime during roll changes, and maintain process stability across demanding converting operations.
