Benefits of Pressure Sensitive Tape
- Uses thinner and lighter materials making it easy to work with
- Bonds materials quickly as only pressure is required
- Bonds dissimilar materials easily without the risk of incompatibility
- Reduces assembly time
- Due to its thickness, can also be used for gap filling
- Aesthetics – hides visible mechanical fasteners so it is cosmetically appealing to use
- Eliminates the need for surface refinishing
- Provides vibration dampening and noise reduction as the tape absorbs noise and reduces the rattling sounds caused by vibrations
High Performance Pressure Sensitive Tapes
Our range of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Tapes is meticulously designed to meet the diverse needs of several industries including automotive, food production and packaging, electronics, and medical supplies. These tapes offer a robust solution for binding two surfaces together - be it plastic, cloth, paper, metal, or other flexible materials - without the need for solvents, water, or heat activation, simplifying the application process significantly.
We take pride in stocking and converting a comprehensive array of PSA tapes, ensuring we cater to a variety of industry-specific requirements. Our selection includes:
- Single Coated Tape: Ideal for general purpose bonding and offers excellent adhesion and durability.
- Double Coated Tape: Provides superior holding power, making it perfect for more demanding applications.
- Adhesive Transfer Tape: Exceptionally versatile, this tape is used for graphic attachment and general industrial joining.
- Transfer Adhesive: Offers a thin profile yet strong bond, commonly used in electronics and automotive applications.
- Self Wound Tape: Known for its ease of use, this tape is excellent for packaging and sealing purposes.
Our Very High Bond (VHB) tapes stand out for their exceptional strength and reliability. They are increasingly being used in sound and vibration damping films, offering an efficient alternative to traditional fastening methods like rivets, screws, bolts, washers, spot welds, and liquid adhesives. Their ability to distribute stress uniformly over a wide area enhances durability and longevity.
Our PSA tapes are engineered for resistance against environmental factors such as temperature variations, UV light, and moisture, ensuring long-term performance in diverse conditions. Their ease of customization allows them to be tailored to specific dimensions and shapes, catering to unique application needs. This adaptability, combined with their aesthetic appeal (as they leave no residue or visible fastening system), makes them a preferred choice in industries where appearance is as important as functionality.
High Performance Tapes
Advanced Technology Supply also commonly sells High performance tapes which we stock and convert. The reason they are high performance is they are bonding solutions that provide longer term adhesion, an extreme range of temperature performance and corrosion resistance.
Some of the High performance tape we sell is electrical insulation tape that include the following mil specs:
- PTFE or Teflon: A-A-59474 (All types and classes)
- Glass Cloth Tape: MIL-I-19166
- Silicone Self-Fusing Tape: A-A-59163 (All types and classes)
The Electrical insulation Lacing Tapes we carry include (all sizes finishes and color):
- A-A-52084
- A-A-52083
- A-A-52081
- A-A-52080
Manufacturered mostly by Breyden, but we also carry Techflex.
