Features & Benefits
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Advantages
- Flexible and elastic
- good adjustment to dimensional tolerances
- Compensation of different thermal expansions of substrates
- Black color makes the tape almost invisible in the application
- Good sealing characteristics thanks to the closed cell structure of the foam
- Good processability thanks to dimensionally stable construction
- The combination of the high-performance NP adhesive with the elastic PE foam carrier allows for an optimal surface wetting.
- Product Highlights
- The double-sided PE foam tapes are equipped with a high-performance adhesive which is suitable for permanent bonding on all standard clear coat systems. Plastic exterior components can easily be bonded on coatings with medium and high surface energies.
- This specially developed high-performance adhesive features an excellent final adhesion on dirt-repellent paint surfaces and offers an outstanding shear strength. According to standard aging tests in the automotive industry (heat, humidity, cold, etc.) a constant performance is guaranteed. The entire portfolio was technically checked for clear coat systems of the Volkswagen Group as well as other OEM‘s.
- The tapes of the DuploCOLL® NP range are an excellent alternative to Acrylic Foam adhesive tapes. The PE carrier foam can compensate for component tolerances better than hard, foamed systems. In addition, they have up to four times less weight.
- The automotive industry is evolving continuously – new vehicle concepts come along with new materials and new designs. This includes also paint surfaces, which shall not only protect the car body from mechanical and further external influences caused by weather conditions but also give a flawless appearance. Because visual perfection plays a vital role – a perfect finish is key to the important first impression.
- Lohmann‘s Bonding Engineers meet these developments with the new DuploCOLL® NP range (NP = New Paint) for exterior applications in the automotive industry.
