As the technology of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Tapes advances, they are finding their way into more and more design applications everyday. PSA Tapes can provide removable convenience or structural bonds. They are available in the following forms:

1. Adhesive Transfer Tapes - A film of pressure sensitive adhesive coated on silicon treated, release liner. When pressed to a substrate and the liner peeled off, the adhesive transfers to the surface, providing a thin, neat glue line. Rubber or Acrylic Adhesives...Permanent or Removable Bonds...Film or Paper Liners...0.0025" to 0.0150" Thickness...Hand or Automated Application.

2. Film Tapes. Single or Double Coated...Acrylic, Rubber or Silicon Adhesives. These tapes provide excellent handling characteristics for ease of application. Carrier films include:

Polyester · Kapton^™ · Teflon^™ · Vinyl Paper · Polyethylene · UHMW · UPVC Foils

3. Foam Tapes. Single or Double Coated...Variety of Foam Carriers...Rubber or Acrylic Adhesive...0.015" to 0.375" Thickness...Variety of Densities. Structural Bonding Tape combines the convenience of a pressure sensitive foam tape and the thermosetting capabilities of a structural adhesive. VHB^™ (Very High Bond) acrylic foam tapes for tough, permanent, weather resistant bonding to many substrates. Other foams include:

Vinyl · Urethane · Polyethylene · Silicon Neoprene

Fabrication & Die-Cutting. PSA Tapes can be supplied to you as circles, strips or custom shapes; put up in rolls, perforated, in multi-piece pads or individual pieces; and precision slit/scored configurations, that can be assembly ready for your applications.
