All adhesive tapes function better when they cover more surface area. Pressed against a broken up surface, discontinuities cause an area deficit, which prevents the tape from making contact. The more rigid the tacky backing, the worse this effect becomes. On coarse surfaces, the issue eases off, but it’s still deemed a bond diminishing influence….

Industrial adhesives are always applied according to a series of stringently controlled utilization steps. After all, there are heavy loads and fast-moving parts in play, and they’ll be throwing out copious quantities of energy after they’re chemically joined. To maximize such liquid-bonded joints, a baseline must be established, one that assures an absolutely clean start….

As the label implies, Eternabond Webseal utilizes a mesh-like composition. More accurately, the woven backing is enveloped in a microfine bonding agent. It’s this specially formulated microsealant, plus the underlying web-like backing that gives the material its bonding edge. Imagine an awkwardly placed seam or a protruding screw. How would a standard piece of stronger-than-average…

Green Glue whisper clips are considered lifesavers by some sleep-deprived apartment owners. That’s because those thin-walled residences aren’t very good noise isolators. Think of a neighbours argument passing freely through a paper-thin wall, then their stereo starts up after the quarrel is over. You start to feel like you’re living in a claustrophobic pigeonhole. Not…

Armed with a little common sense, adhesive and sealant removal work doesn’t have to be a struggle. Nobody wants to leave a tacky trail or unattractive finish, after all. And what if a joint still needs bonding? In this case, the old sealant must be absolutely eliminated. Either way, there must be guidelines somewhere that…

EPDM foam rubbers are found in applications that demand variable compressibility features. A control panel, constantly opened for maintenance checks, is closed after each inspection. EPDM Closure Tapes perform robustly under such conditions. An automotive systems enclosure, water heater instrument panel, glass or wood-sealed apertures, they all benefit from the bounce-back capabilities of this specialized…

Contemporary foam sealants are loaded with feature-rich attributes. They seal quickly, with a cell type that prevents fluid ingress. Temperature control and vibration management strategies are readily formed when the foam material is intelligently sourced and expertly installed. Think about it, these adhesives and binding materials bond efficiently, so what else is there to think…

Packing tapes are generally applied with the same smooth motion. The strip rolls out of a gun-shaped dispenser, a guiding hand follows behind, and the two combined actions result in ample contact pressure. Pressure-sensitive by design, these adhesive tapes suit most packaging applications remarkably well. Adding performance-oriented strength to all such product lines, let’s see…

Cohrlastic ® Sponge Silicone Tapes are thermally stable. In fact, gasketing tapes made out of this closed cell rubber are resilient and compressible. Other foam tapes lose those features when they’re exposed to high temperatures. They no longer perform properly, no longer cushion or rebound with foamy ease. Happily, this range of sponge silicone tapes…

EternaClean isn’t an ordinary cleaning product. It’s not designed to clean everyday surfaces or materials, and the small liquid container certainly isn’t intended to act as an all-purpose solvent. No, EternaClean Spray Cleaner is a singular, material specific surface preparation agent. When single-ply roof membrane needs the services of a sealant, then this spray-on mixture…
