The pressure sensitive tape market continues to grow, offering adhesive capabilities for a number of applications. Gain insight into two types of pressure sensitive tapes and the smart adhesives for them.
High-Performance Tapes
Designed to meet the most demanding applications, high-performance tapes are increasingly being used in automotive assembly especially. These tapes offer many qualities, including:
- Adherence to many substrates
- Extreme temperature resistance
- Vibration or sound damping capabilities
Smart High-Performance Tape Adhesives
Given that high-performance tapes are exposed to harsh conditions, the adhesives used in their manufacturing must offer high performance as well. Bostik manufactures smart hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives that possess:
- Superb processability
- High tack, shear and peel
- Excellent adhesion to many substrates, such as metals, plastics and corrugate
- High die-cuttability
As a result, these qualities make them ideal for high-performance tape construction, improving product performance and overall durability.
Double-Sided Tapes
Double-sided tapes are often used in industrial applications, such as:
- Holding
- Mounting
- Splicing
Offering both removability and permanence, thick or thin properties, these tapes can also:
- Resist extreme temperatures, humidity and aging
- Prevent oxidation
- Optimize production processes
Smart Double-Sided Tape Adhesives
Bostik also manufactures smart adhesives for double-sided tape construction. Not over-engineered, these hot melt pressure sensitive adhesives are a cost-effective option, offering superior bonds and improving overall product aesthetics.
