Professional Tapes & Adhesives – More Than Just Hair Systems

However, thanks to their skin-safe properties, strong yet controlled adhesion, and clean removal, these products are also used in a wide range of other professional environments.

On this page, we explain where and why our products are successfully used beyond the hair replacement industry.

Why Are Hair System Tapes So Versatile?

Products designed for hair systems must meet very high standards.
Technically, this makes them professional high-performance tapes and adhesives:

✔️ safe for prolonged skin contact
✔️ strong, yet controlled adhesion
✔️ flexible and comfortable to wear
✔️ easy to remove without adhesive residue
✔️ reliable under heat, movement, and perspiration

These characteristics make hair system tapes and adhesives highly suitable for other industries that require temporary, reliable, and damage-free fixation.

Applications Beyond Hair Systems

🎭 Theatre, Film & Performing Arts

In theatre and film, professionals frequently work with:

wigs and hairpieces
microphones and cables
temporary costume attachment

Our tapes are used because they are:

discreet and ultra-thin
reliable under stage lighting and heat
safe to remove from skin and materials

💄 Make-up artists & visagie

Professional makeup artists use skin tapes for:

securing prosthetics
temporary skin lifting
support in special effects makeup

skin-friendly
non-irritating
controlled-release

All of these are standard qualities of hair system products.

🎬 Events, cosplay & styling

For events, photoshoots, and cosplay, the focus is on:

temporary fixation
reliability throughout the day
clean, damage-free removal

Our tapes are commonly used for:

costumes
accessories
body styling
temporary solutions that need to remain visually invisible

All tapes are skin safe, though some hold longer than others.
For a one-day or evening event, there is no need to use a tape designed for 4–6 weeks of wear.

🛋 Interior Styling & Set / Decor Construction (Light & Temporary)

In interior styling and decor construction, certain tapes are used for:

temporary fixation of lightweight decor elements
styling for photoshoots or shop displays
test setups and temporary presentations

Beyond styling, customers have also used these tapes creatively, for example:

securing a foot pedal of a packaging machine
(Ultra Hold tape remained bonded to a concrete floor for over six years and was still difficult to remove)

Important:
👉 Always test on the surface first — not every tape is suitable for every material.
👉 testen op ondergrond is essentieel — niet elke tape is geschikt voor elk oppervlak.

👗 Fashion Tape & Clothing Styling

Fashion tape is designed for discreet, skin-safe fixation and is used for:

securing garments, necklines, and shoulder seams
photoshoots and fashion shows
temporary styling without pins or permanent alterations

Many fashion tapes share the same core properties as hair system tapes:
thin, flexible, residue-free, and skin safe.

🤿 Diving & Waterproof Applications

Although not a standard application, customers have used tapes and adhesives in water sports and diving environments, such as:

temporarily securing accessories in training environments (e.g. markers in a cave dive)
fixing a urine collection bag inside a dry suit

Important considerations:

not every tape is suitable for prolonged submersion
underwater adhesion always requires prior testing

🔩 Industrial & Technical Applications (Temporary)

Professional double-sided tapes are sometimes used for:

temporary fixation in machines or technical setups
situations where drilling or permanent adhesives are not desired

A real-world example includes the use of Ultra Hold tape to secure a foot pedal on a packaging machine or temporarily taping antennas inside meter cabinets.
