Special - Heat Activated Tapes

Heat activated tapes: innovative bonding solutions for your needs

Heat activated tapes, also known as thermal tapes, offer a unique and powerful adhesive solution for various industries and applications.

The special tapes are a heterogeneous family of high-performance single-sided tapes, with various types of substrates and adhesives.

They are made for particular industrial, graphic and aerospace applications.

These specialized tapes feature a heat-sensitive adhesive that becomes fluid when exposed to heat, allowing for superior bonding strength and durability.

Key features and benefits

✔Strong adhesion: Heat activated tapes provide exceptional bonding strength, even on challenging surfaces like plastics, metals, and composites.

✔Customizable performance: These tapes can be engineered for specific attributes such as temperature resistance, UV protection, or chemical resistance.

✔Efficient application: Heat activation simplifies assembly processes, reducing material costs and labor time.

✔No drying time: Unlike liquid adhesives, heat activated tapes require no curing time, speeding up production.

Applications across industries

Heat activated tapes find wide use in various sectors:

• Automotive: Bonding trims, door seals, and interior/exterior components

• Textiles: Joining fabrics in garments and upholstery

• Electronics: Precision bonding of components

• Aerospace: Bonding composite structural elements

Construction: Weather-stripping and creating waterproof seams

How heat activated tapes work

The tape remains non-tacky at room temperature.

When exposed to heat, the adhesive becomes fluid.

The fluid adhesive fills surface irregularities, ensuring intimate contact.

As it cools, the adhesive solidifies, creating a strong, durable bond.

Why choose heat activated tapes?

✔Precision bonding: Controlled activation process ensures consistent results.

✔Versatility: Suitable for bonding a wide range of materials, including EPDM, PVC plastics, and PU foams.

✔Clean application: No residual mess associated with liquid adhesives.

✔High production speeds: Ideal for large-scale manufacturing processes.
