Film adhesive tape for industrial applications

Check the construction of the specific product. A single sided film tape has adhesive on one side; a double sided tape has adhesive on both sides and often carries a removable liner. Both constructions appear in this category, and the film backing alone does not establish the function. Check the backing, adhesive and liner in the product information. Also state whether you need to cover one surface or join two components. This will narrow your film adhesive tape search to the appropriate construction.

PET means polyethylene terephthalate and is a polyester. “PET Tape” and “Polyester Tape” are separate routes through the existing catalogue. The material name alone is insufficient for a technical decision: PET film can be combined with different adhesives, liners and overall tape thicknesses. Compare the data for the product actually listed against the conditions of your application. The two names are search routes, not a promise that the tapes have identical adhesion or interchangeable constructions.

Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable film tapes and process them into die cut parts. A useful and feasible format depends on the specific starting material, geometry, required supply form and how you apply the tape. In your enquiry, identify the tape or required function, the surface, and the dimensions and shape you need. This allows the material and converting method to be checked for your application. The availability of a film tape does not itself mean that every width or contour can be produced.

Start with the tape's task, the surfaces to be bonded and the conditions in the process. Establish whether you need single sided coverage or a double sided bond. Then compare the film backing, adhesive, liner and product data against the expected stresses. Compare requirements concerning temperature, moisture or chemicals with the product data for the specific tape; a backing material's property cannot automatically be attributed to the finished bond. For advice, include the component geometry, application method and desired supply form.
