Insights & Solutions in Adhesive Tapes, Soundproofing and Sealants

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.

Structural joists are often perceived as hidden noisemakers. They rub against surfaces and squeak. They’re also guilty of expelling settling creaks and moans, the ones that keep sleepy family member awake late at night. Now, on gaining access to the timber supports, a noise suppression technician has begun wrapping Green Tape V494 between the joists…

In the world of sealants and fasteners, there are two chemical components that are well worth paying attention to: nitrile and neoprene. Wouldn’t you know it, we’re here today in order to help educate you on the differences between the two. Here at Foam Sealant, we believe in the power of knowledge and how that…

An adhesive isn’t living up to its product description. A crack is gaping or a piece of tape is slipping away from a patched surface, all because the liquid or paste-based anchoring stuff is on the brink of failing. Research and development laboratories know all about such undesirable glue-failure incidents. They understand the common causes…

Microsealant technology is responsible for the strong backbone inside Eternabond tape. Just by properly applying the strips to a crack, a waterproof seal is instantly created. Countless satisfied customers, including RV owners and roofing contractors, are familiar with this feature, but they’re probably not acquainted with the chemical ingenuity that makes that hallmark feature possible….

Metals and tacky adhesive strips mix to create foil tapes. What properties does a product inherit from this liaison? For starters, the tape gains metallic strength. It’s also innately conformable. What’s more, the material is chemically and thermally resilient, capable of fending off moisture, and it somehow manages to look good while it hangs tough….
