Product Construction

Liner: 60# White Kraft

Adhesive 1: Rubber

Carrier: Polyethylene Foam

Adhesive 2: ULNA Rubber

Application Techniques
  • It is essential, as with all pressure-sensitive tapes, that the surface to which the tape is applied be clean, dry, and free of grease or oil.
  • Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive-to-surface contact developed.
  • Note that different pressure, time and temperature on different (film / rigid) surface achieves different performance.
