Application guide

The most important step in getting the right result in any self adhesive tape application is to use the correct tape, and there are lots to choose from. That’s where we can help with advice and samples. Once the correct tape for the job has been selected there are certain guidelines which will aid application as follows.

Surface Preparation

To guarantee optimum adhesion the surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry and grease-free. Substances on surfaces that may prevent adhesion, such as dust, silicone and wax must be removed before application.

Application of adhesive tapes

An adhesive tape should stick after the application of moderate pressure at ambient temperature (18 ° C - 25 ° C). To obtain maximum initial adhesion, even pressure should be applied. The easiest way of achieving this is by finger pressure or by using a small hand roller. In both cases firm pressure should be applied along the length of the tape.
