Procurement of
adhesive tape solutions

• Do you need a structural bond, an assembly aid, or a temporary or long-term adhesive bond?
• Which materials need to be bonded together?
• What temperatures must the bond withstand in the short and long term?
• How much UV exposure will the application face?
• Is the bond exposed to moisture?
• What thickness should the material have?
• Does the adhesive tape need to absorb vibrations or shocks?
• What forces (shear, tensile, peel, cleavage) will act on the bond?
• Will the bond come into contact with solvents? If so, which ones and in what concentration?
• Are there specific requirements such as thermal or electrical conductivity, insulation, or specific colors?
• Does the material need to meet certain standards (e.g., UL, automotive)?

Even if the final design is not yet determined, some basic information is crucial:

• What does the component to be bonded look like? Can you provide us with 2D or 3D data of the component?
• How should the assembly be done (manually, semi-automatically, or fully automated)? How should the parts be delivered (individual parts, on sheets, on rolls)?
• What do the upstream and downstream processes look like? Is an automation specialist already involved?

To include a realistic timeline and quantity planning in our offer, we need:

• What is the planned start and end of production?
• What are the annual and planned call-off quantities?
• Where should the deliveries go?
