Why Walker Tape Acrylic Tapes and Adhesives Work So Well for Hair Systems
Acrylic, which we create our tapes and adhesives out of, is man made in a lab. This simple fact means we get to play mad scientist and customize our tapes and adhesives to have whatever performance traits your clients need. Because when you think about it, we kind of have to be mad scientists to get anything to stick to skin for very long.
We’re talking about a surface that’s constantly exposed to who knows how many temperature and climate dips and spikes on any given day. Not to mention, skin is a surface that leaks its own moisture and oils. Then there’s always the fact that the whole layer of skin cells at the surface dies, falls off, and a new layer emerges from below. Hairs, pimples, and moles all unpredictably come and go.
It’s just one of the weirdest surfaces to work with in the tape world.
But we’ve been doing just that for decades and have modified our acrylics to the point where they hold on reliably and comfortably. Since acrylics are so customizable, we’ve made them to handle the varied challenges that your clients put them through:
- Showering, running, brushing, pulling, pressing, etc.
- Humidity, dryness, heat, cold, sunlight, UV, oxidation, etc.
- Hats, helmets, swim caps, scarves, scrunchies, etc.
Our acrylics have fantastic resistance to aging. Aging in tape terms is how they can last so long without being ruined by light, oxygen, and water. It’s also how they can last so long on your shelves with a guaranteed shelf life of at least a year for tapes and six months for liquid adhesives.
We’ve also made sure our acrylics hold to the different textures of hair systems out there:
- Poly Bases
- Mesh Bases: Lace or Monofilament
- Combinations of Both
Plus, we’ve specifically formulated our acrylic tapes and adhesives to bond with our line of scalp protectors. These products, such as Max Hold Sport, basically coat the skin with a microscopically thin acrylic shield. Adhesives tend to stick best to like materials. So, our acrylic-based tapes and adhesives hold exceptionally well to that thin acrylic shield.
It’s the reason why our scalp protectors both protect your client’s skin and boost expected hold times.
Add Max Hold Sport to your cart, and achieve the best hold times possible with your clients!
Acrylic Tapes for Hair Systems
All but one of our tapes are acrylic-based and latex-free. German Brown is the only tape we make that uses a rubber-based adhesive (which does contain latex). We’ve developed these acrylic-based tapes in such a way that serve any of your client’s needs, from sensitive skin conditions to active lifestyles in humid climates.

Acrylic Liquid Adhesives for Hair Systems
Considering the benefits to our customized acrylic adhesives, it makes sense why our most popular touchup adhesive and Maximum Wear liquid adhesive are both acrylic-based. The acrylic in these liquid adhesives make them the best choices for clients in hot temperatures and humid climates.
While water-based liquid adhesives have a small amount of acrylic in them, we’re not including them here. Their main ingredient, and also the factor to their unique performance traits, is water.
