Adhesive Tapes
The right pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can make all the difference in an application, and Saint-Gobain® offers exceptional quality, OEM approvals and technical capability to customise. Our teams work hard to ensure there is an adhesive tape combination to suit your exact needs. We work with a variety of substrates including fluoropolymers, polyimide, glass fabrics, foils, and polyester combined with acrylic, silicone, natural rubber and proprietary adhesive systems, making us experts in a broad range of materials.
Adhesion, Cohesion and Tack
There are three main properties that characterise a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape: Adhesion, Cohesion, and Tack.
Depending on the application needs, each of these three properties can be modified, and the combination with different backing materials and liners leads to a broad variety of adhesive tape solutions optimised for specific substrates, environments, and against stressors.
Achieving the right combination of adhesion, cohesion and tack from all the available options is important for high performance in the tape application. Our sales and technical teams have the expertise to identify the best solutions.”
J. MacDonald, Development Manager, Saint-Gobain Tape Solutions
The most important questions for identifying the right adhesive tape solution
- What exactly do you want the tape to achieve?
- What materials are being bonded, and what are the characteristics of the bonding surfaces?
- How will the tape be used?
- What temperature will the tape be exposed to during the application, and for how long?
- Will the application be exposed to moisture, UV, chemicals, solvents, outgassing, etc.?
- What load or stress will the tape need to bear or withstand?
Questions like these help your tape expert to identify the best solution for your needs. We have the expertise and capabilities to modify or design tapes that not only get the job done but also add significant value in many ways. Get in touch and see for yourself.
