Whether you are putting together a product or securing a point-of-purchase display, PET double-sided tape is a durable and reliable choice. It offers excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces, including smooth metals, glass, and plastics. It is also ideal for mounting lightweight objects. It is available in a wide variety of widths and thicknesses. Depending on the application, a custom solution can be manufactured to meet your specific needs.
Whether you are using the tape to hold a sheet in place or to mask a surface during a PCB production process, PET double-sided tape can perform the task. It also has excellent shear stability, allowing for a secure and durable bond. This tape is also used to create foam laminations. Using PET backing also allows for easy handling during converting processes.
When you are looking for the best tape for your application, it is important to consider several factors. First, you need to consider the surface you plan to attach the tape. You should also consider the temperature.
The second factor to consider is the adhesive. There are a variety of types of adhesives, including silicone, acrylic, rubber, elastomeric, and metal. Some adhesives are suitable for both porous and non-porous surfaces, while others require special surface preparation. For example, a painted surface may need to be abraded with a fine grit to make it suitable for adhesive. Similarly, a glass surface may need silane treatment to help the adhesive adhere better.
Lastly, you should consider the carrier. The carrier material can be made of foam, paper, plastic, or tissue. The thickness of the carrier is also important. It will act as a barrier between the two adhesive layers and will help with handling and dispensing.
Double sided PET tape is available in custom widths and thicknesses. Other tapes can be used straight off the roll. Others have special dimensions and shapes and require a precise size. Some tapes have special features, such as a release liner to help improve dispensing. Some tapes are also available in various thicknesses, including UL-certified types.
