According to the self-adhesive label specialist, the portfolio consists of four tapes. The firm said that each tape in the portfolio “offers greater than 25 N per inch adhesion levels, has dynamic shear values exceeding 500 N per inch and is designed to adhere to dirty or oily surfaces”.
“The adhesives can be paired with foam or fibre materials, giving them versatility for converters supporting both the automotive and building construction segments,” said Gulsah Metinoz, regional product manager, Avery Dennison Performance Tapes Europe.
He added: “In the automotive industry, the tapes find use as an insulation component by affixing sound and vibration dampening foam and fibre materials to the LSE plastics favoured by automakers for their light weight. The tapes’ ability to affix to curved surfaces is another advantage in the auto industry since most vehicles today have rounded configurations.”
“Some of these same performance characteristics come into play in building construction applications, where the tapes affix energy-saving insulation to pipes,” Metinoz added. “But here the tapes deliver an added bonus. Their ability to adhere to many dirty or oily surfaces makes them particularly well-suited for applications in airborne contaminated environments, which is where most pipes are located.”
