Versatile adhesive tapes
Possible uses for technical adhesive tapes are diverse and exist in almost every industrial application. An important component for the use of technical adhesive tapes is the correct choice of adhesive systems and physical properties, as well as the consideration of application-specific requirements. We will be happy to provide you with our know-how for the correct choice of adhesive tapes in your process!
Single-sided adhesive tapes
Application area
Single-sided adhesive tapes can be adapted to different requirements.
Packaging, marking, masking, splicing – single-sided adhesive tapes are used in many areas. They consist of a backing and a coating of adhesive compound, which can have different attributes depending on the area of application.
Function
Various materials such as plastic or metal foil, paper or textile fabric can be used as carriers.
With acrylic, rubber and silicone adhesives and their modifications, adhesive types with different attributes are available on top of that. Depending on the carrier material and the adhesive modification used, special technical requirements can thus be met.
The advantages
Whether high-strength, hand-tearable, heat-resistant or residue-free removable, the product variety is large and ranges from simple packing tape to chemical-resistant masking tape.
We will be happy to advise you on the right choice for your application.
Double-sided adhesive tape
Application area
The means of choice when you want to bond two materials together.
Bonding, mounting, splicing, self-adhesive finishing – the applications for double-sided adhesive tapes are many and varied. With the exception of linerless transfer tapes, they consist of a liner coated with adhesive on both sides.
The technical properties and performance of the adhesive tape are determined by the combination of carrier material and type of adhesive.
Function
Various materials such as plastic film, paper or textile fabric can be used as carrier. The adhesive coating can be acrylic, rubber or silicone adhesive and their modifications on both sides, but differential adhesive tapes with different types of adhesives or adhesive gradations for each side of the tape are also possible.

High-performance adhesive tapes
Application area
Special requirements need special solutions.
Screwing, riveting, clipping, spot welding – high-performance fastening tapes offer alternatives to conventional mechanical fastening systems and liquid adhesives.
Function
Due to their viscoelastic properties, high-performance adhesive tapes offer the possibility of replacing mechanical connections safely, reliably and efficiently under certain conditions.
Tensions and forces caused by different temperature expansion coefficients can be absorbed by expansion due to their special conception of viscoelastic adhesive.
The advantages
Due to their very high internal strength, high-performance bonding tapes are suitable for permanent, tension-free bonding of different materials. Thanks to the good immediate adhesion even on structured and low-energy surfaces, there is also the possibility of direct further processing.
We will be happy to advise you on product selection. Together we will find a solution for your application – for example, with a 3M VHB adhesive tape, a product from Nitto Denko’s Hyperjoint series, tesa’s ACXplus family or another product suitable for your application.
PVC electric insulating tapes
Application area
Electrical insulating tapes with PVC carrier are suitable for all applications in the electronics sector. However, they are also used in many other areas due to their suitability for bundling, sealing and marking.
Function
Scapa, Europe’s largest manufacturer of PVC insulating-tapes, offers a wide range of products.
Furthermore, we also offer premium-qualities of Nitto like PVC 228 and PVC 201X with VDE-certification as well as flame retardation and also as PVC 21 and PVC 201 as universal-insulating tape in different colours available.
The advantages
Their superior stretch properties result from the fact that no fillers are used in production. This makes these products particularly soft and supple. Thanks to these properties and their good chemical and moisture resistance as well as suitability for outdoor use, they have established themselves in the telecommunications industry over the years.
Foam tapes
Application area
Foam adhesive tapes are ideal for uneven surfaces.
They are thicker and softer than adhesive tapes without foam carrier. As a result, they adapt well to rough or uneven surface structures, allow tolerance compensation and can still act as a sealant.
Single-sided or double-sided – we will find the right product for you according to your application.
Single-sided PE and PVC foam tapes
Single-sided EPDM foam tapes
Pre-compressed joint sealing tapes
Special adhesive tapes
Application area
Adhesive tapes for extraordinary requirements and special applications.
