Number plates

Vehicle number plates present more challenges than one might think. Over a vehicle's lifetime, or at the very least the period between changes of registration, they need to stand up to an array of harsh conditions such as UV light, weather, chemicals and road hazards.

This will ensure that number plates avoid common durability issues such as delamination and warping, allowing the plate to perform to the applicable legislation on traffic management and safety.

Adhesive tape solutions play a key role in the assembly of laminated number plates. These solutions must offer high compatibility with materials commonly used in number plate production, including PET plastic, PMMA acrylic, reflective materials and inks.

Our tapes for number plate applications have been specifically developed and carry a proven track record in the European automotive marketplace. These products meet many national standards, and can help plate constructions meet regulatory certifications.
