Taping Adhesive Attachment Systems
A more durable, secure taping adhesive system
Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
In most instances, the use of pressure sensitive adhesives can eliminate mechanical
fastening systems, (staples, nails or retaining clips) and their inherent problems.
PSA's frequently improve productivity during the final assembly process.
Heat-Activated Taping Systems
Heat-activated tapes are constructed by layering materials together that include:
an OEM-applied heat-activated adhesive, an acrylic foam core, a high-performance
acrylic adhesive and a polyolefin release liner. These tapes feature a heat-activated
adhesive layer that provides a secure and durable bond to the extruded profile and
adhere to a wide range of materials.
Engineering Capabilities
Considerations for specifying an adhesive
- To what temperature range will this part be exposed?
- Is it a static or dynamic application?
- Is this used only in assembly or will the adhesive need to work for the life of
the part?
- To what chemicals/solvents will the part be exposed?
- To what type of surface (substrate) will the adhesive be applied?
- To how much surface area can the adhesive be applied?
