Bonding Solutions for Thin Substrates

Dec 17th 2020

Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) film tapes consist of a thin double-sided adhesive that can be found on both sides of the carrier to easily bond flat substrates together. Unlike bulky foam tapes and traditional fasteners, these tapes are great for creating a thin and invincible bond.

Film tapes provide production and design flexibility as they can be customized to better suit specific applications and can easily be applied by hand or automatic machine. They are also available in a dry or finger lift edge for easy liner removal once applied to a product. Once one side of the tape is applied, the other side of the tape can remain with its liner until its ready to be used or to be bonded to a second substrate.

Additionally, they can be utilized to replace messy and time-consuming liquid adhesives which are typically applied before bonding two elements together. Film tapes are used in a variety of markets including the ones we currently serve:
