A variety of foam tapes are available in the market based on factors such as their density, structure, and adhesion properties. Each variety serves a different purpose, and each one fulfills a different need. Their flexibility makes them ideal for fixing uneven surfaces with ease.

It is even possible to use them in the presence of moisture, high temperatures, and other solvents outdoors. Different foam tapes have different adhesive levels and it greatly depends on how they are used. Some of the unique properties are as follows:

- Temperatures between -40°F and 300°F are normal for foam tape.
- UV radiation from the sun, moisture, and solvents have no effect on it.
- It is capable of compensating for varying thermal expansions due to its high bonding strength.
