Cattie Rivet Tape is a high-tack rubber transfer adhesive tape. Apply the tape, press the parts together, and move to the next step. The tape has strong initial tack, so parts typically stay in position right away. Bond strength keeps building over time after assembly, so test on your parts before production. Cattie Adhesives supplies it as part of our private label adhesives and industrial adhesive tapes.
What Cattie Rivet Tape does for your line
- Strong initial tack
- Typically less assembly time and labor
- No visible fasteners
- Typically resists vibration
- Bonds many substrates
Replacing rivets and mechanical fasteners with tape
Faster assembly, less labor
No drilling, no riveting. Apply, press, and move to the next step.
Clean look with no visible fasteners
Panels go together without rivet heads or screw heads on the finished part.
Why Cattie rivet tape
- Lower cost per foot. A 200 ft roll of rubber transfer rivet tape typically costs far less per foot than acrylic foam tapes, which often sell in 5 yd rolls at a much higher price.
- Better grab on rough surfaces and slick plastics. The soft rubber adhesive flows into rough surfaces and bonds polyethylene and polypropylene, where many acrylic foam tapes struggle.
- Better technology for fast assembly. Solvent-free rubber transfer adhesive with no foam core. The full thickness is adhesive, and it bonds on contact.
- Consistent, high-quality supply with US expert help. Stocked rolls, custom widths, and a US adhesive expert on the phone at 800-249-0337 to help you pick and test.
Rubber transfer tape vs. foam tape
- No foam carrier: the tape is all adhesive, with no foam core.
- Grabs on contact: high-tack rubber adhesive holds parts in place right away.
- Rough surfaces and slick plastics: it flows into rough surfaces and bonds polyethylene (including HDPE) and polypropylene, where many foam tapes struggle.
- Foam tape still has its place: some smooth, high-load or outdoor jobs fit a foam tape better. Call and we help you pick.

Tell us your substrates, surface prep, application temperature, and service conditions such as heat, cold, outdoor exposure and load. We help you select the tape for your parts and review technical data with you on the call. Always test the tape on your own parts and conditions before production use.
Clean, dry, dust- and oil-free surfaces give the best bond. Low-energy plastics, painted, powder-coated or textured surfaces may need extra prep or a primer.
