1. Lower costs

The use of self-adhesive materials greatly speeds up the joining process. Pre- and post-processing is reduced or no longer necessary. Processes can be automated, and neither curing nor subsequent cleaning is required. This is particularly noticeable in comparison to liquid adhesives.

2. Secure hold

High-performance adhesive tapes hold fast. Whether at -40 or +150°C. They can even be used underwater, are flame-retardant and can withstand earthquakes. Various simulations have been carried out for corresponding scenarios, and the result is always the same – the tape has held fast.
 

3. Seal and insulate

Many adhesive tapes provide excellent sealing against moisture and dirt and are resistant to thermal and chemical influences. Thanks to its seamless bond, the adhesive tape also has an insulating effect. Vibrations are reduced and rattling or creaking noises are prevented.

4. Heat dissipation,
EMC and insulation

High performance in increasingly smaller electronic components generates heat and can lead to malfunctions. With the right adhesive tape, heat can be dissipated or absorbed and malfunctions prevented. Also helpful: insulating generators, coils, transformers and cables.

5. Smooth out any unevenness

Adhesive tape can also be regarded as a ‘functional gap filler’. 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

Drilling creates holes, and holes cause corrosion. Since no holes are required for fastening components with adhesive tape, the classic areas susceptible to corrosion are reduced in the design. The result is durable and clean connections.

7. Distribute tension

In contrast to the point load of mechanical fasteners,
 bonding distributes any stresses across the entire surface of the joint. This means that the materials can be made thinner, resulting in savings in both material and costs.

8. Connecting materials

By combining materials, adhesive tape enables components with different surface tensions to be joined together. This means that differences in thermal expansion behaviour, for example, can also be easily compensated for.
 

9. Lightweight construction

A decisive factor for the entire construction: using adhesive bonds reduces weight and thus saves costs! Adhesive bonding is THE alternative for lightweight constructions.

10. Individual shapes

Unsightly screws and rivets are a thing of the past – adhesive bonds enable invisible connections and thus offer you enormous design freedom.
