10 REASONS FOR USING ADHESIVE TAPE

10 reasons for using adhesive tape

Adhesive tape can do more than most people think. The biggest fear: Will it hold? Our simple answer: Yes, if it's the right tape! We have years of experience in processing adhesive tape and know exactly what to do. Do you want to save weight, shorten your process or simply need an invisible but secure connection between two components? Then you should take a closer look at the possible uses of adhesive tape. Whether it is "only" to fasten or also to seal, conduct, protect or shield - we will find the right material and bring it into the required form for your application.

 

1. Less costs

The use of self-adhesive materials speeds up the assembly process enormously. Pre- and post-processing are less or no longer necessary. In contrast to liquid adhesives, neither curing nor subsequent cleaning is necessary.

 

2. Secure Hold
High-performance adhesive tapes still hold at -40 or +150°C, even under water and are flame-retardant.

 

3. Heat dissipation, EMC and insulation
High power in small electronic components generates heat and can cause interference. With the help of the right adhesive tape, heat can be dissipated or absorbed and interference can be avoided. It is also possible to insulate generators, coils, transformers and cables.

 

4. Sealing and insulating
Many adhesive tapes have an excellent sealing function against moisture as well as dirt and are resistant to thermal and chemical influences. Due to the gapless bond, the adhesive tape also has an insulating effect. Vibrations are reduced and rattling or creaking noises are avoided.

 

5. Compensating for unevenness
Slight unevenness or rough surfaces are no problem for the right adhesive tape – it fills small gaps, the components are joined flush with each other and there are no restoring forces.

6. Minimised risk of corrosion
Since no holes are required for fastening components, the classic attack surfaces for corrosion are reduced in the construction. The result is long-lasting and clean connection.

 

7. Distribute stresses
In contrast to point loading with mechanical fasteners, bonding distributes any stresses over the entire surface of the joint. The materials can be designed thinner and enable savings to be made.

 

8. Joining materials
By combining materials, adhesive tape allows joining components with different surface tensions. So different thermal expansion behaviour can be compensated without any problems.

 

9. Lightweight construction
A decisive factor for the entire construction: When using adhesive joints, you reduce the weight and thereby save costs! Adhesive bonding is THE alternative for lightweight constructions.

 

10. Individual shapes
Unsightly screws and rivets belong to the past - adhesive joints enable an invisible connection and thus offer you an enormously high degree of design freedom.
