- Product Construction
Liner: Polypropylene Film
Adhesive 1: Acrylic
Carrier: Red Polyethylene Foam
Adhesive 2: ULNA Acrylic
- 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.
