Adhesion promoters, adhesive removers, cleaning agents and process tapes to make tape application and converting easier.
Our decades of experience as manufacturers of roller wrapping tapes have made our grip tapes a benchmark. They support a variety of manufacturing, converting, and printing processes that utilize roller systems and process materials such as films, textiles, paper, and more.
Ever striving for the highest quality and optimal solutions, the well-proven tape design has been improved even further over the years, ensuring maximum process reliability and efficiency.
The tape design allows for clean and accurate application, while at the same time ensuring easy removal. Applied on the roller, the tape will securely keep its position, even at elevated temperatures.
Application Step 4: Keep on wrapping the roller with the tape at even angles, leaving no gaps in between the layers.
Application Step 1: Wrap the tape once around the roller at the desired angle and mark the point where the end of the roll meets the second turn of the tape.
Application Step 2: Put the tape on a flat surface and cut it diagonally from the end of the roll to the marked point of the tape.
Application Step 3: Remove the liner and start applying the tape, starting from the edge of the roller.
For bonding – especially outdoors and on surfaces that are difficult to bond – we recommend the use of a bonding agent, like our tesa® Adhesion Promoters. Bonding agents form a layer on the surface to which the pressure-sensitive adhesive adheres particularly well.
Indeed, there are plastics and other materials to which adhesive does not stick well. Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), Teflon, rubber, and silicone are some of these. Experts speak of "very low surface energy."
The exciting thing about a primer is it increases this surface tension, which lets the tape stick to the substrate more strongly. This layer also prevents water from entering the adhesive joint and thus enables consistent outdoor bonding.
