Lohmann’s DuploCOLL NP PE foam tapes provide strong and permanent bonding on challenging clear coat surfaces. The flexible PE foam carrier compensates component tolerances effectively, adapting seamlessly to different designs. With high-precision die-cutting, these tapes can be customized into any shape, offering greater design flexibility and easy integration into production processes. The high-performance NP adhesive delivers excellent adhesion on paints with medium to high surface energies, as well as on commonly used exterior plastics.
Bonding Solutions for Automotive Exterior Surfaces
OEM-proven multi-talented adhesive tapes for bonding on paint, plastics and glass.


OEM-Proven, Tailor-Made,
Weather Resistant
When it comes to demanding fixation tasks in automotive exteriors, Lohmann’s OEM-proven adhesive tapes provide a smart alternative to screws and clips. Designed for reliable bonding on paint, plastics, and glass they seamlessly adapt to a wide range of designs while offering additional benefits such as tolerance compensation, damping, and water-tight sealing. The result: lighter, quieter, and virtually vibration-free vehicles. With our deep specification expertise and IATF 16949 certification, we ensure our adhesive solutions meet the highest industry standards.
Our PE-foam tapes, for example, fulfill OEM requirements like VW TL 52018 and are technically proven for clear coat systems of multiple manufacturers. At Lohmann, we think beyond just bonding — we focus on the entire integration process, from prototyping to serial production. Our global network of experts works closely with OEMs and tier suppliers, offering on-site support and tailored solutions to meet the increasing demands of new materials, high-quality designs, and efficient manufacturing processes.
Seamless Adhesion: Invisible Strength for Automotive Exteriors
For efficient mounting and long-term bonding of exterior automotive components, Lohmann offers a diverse range of double-sided PE-foam tapes. Designed for various OEM clear coat systems, plastic, and glass these tapes provide strong adhesion while compensating for component tolerances -especially in applications with substrates of different thermal expansion coefficients.
Their black coloring ensures near-invisible bonding, seamlessly integrating into vehicle designs. Depending on your specific needs, Lohmann’s adhesive tapes are available as rolls, spools, sheets, or precision die-cuts, offering easy handling and dimensional stability for smooth processing.

Paint Surfaces

Plastic Surfaces
The DuploCOLL AP range is employed for
permanent bonds of elastomer/plastic as well as plastic/plastic combinations with low energy surfaces. A modified acrylic adhesive offers excellent initial and final adhesion properties on various plastic blends, e.g. PP/EPDM or compounds such as filled or fiber-reinforced plastics. The closed-cell PE-foam carrier allows for compensation of different thermal expansion coefficients of the substrates and thus has excellent sealing properties.

Glass Surfaces
The special adhesive of Lohmann's DuploCOLL G foam tapes features an integrated activator. This simplifies the customers' process eliminating the need of additional pre-treatment with an activator while ensuring strong and permanent bonds on glass. With high-performance acrylic adhesives, these tapes provide exceptional final strength and resistance to temperature, weather, and moisture. Proven in dynamic roll peel tests, they deliver reliable adhesion with cohesive failure (foam split) on most materials, offering durability in automotive applications.
