Adhesive tape solutions for heater film bonding and gap filling
Avery Dennison offers tapes that meet the bonding needs of flexible heater films. With the use of tapes, it makes PTC heaters easier-to-assemble, lightweight and more durable.
Printed, flexible heater films are an established solution for defrosting exterior mirrors. They’re being adopted for use with advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) cameras and sensors, along with various applications in vehicle interiors to facilitate efficient heating. These systems need to perform flawlessly throughout a vehicle’s life and across a wide range of environmental conditions.
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are an excellent choice for heater film bonding.
Avery Dennison offers a variety of tape solutions that can handle the challenging requirements of bonding flexible PTC heaters.
High-performance acrylic adhesives that withstand high temperatures and difficult automotive environments
Adhesives compatible with PTC heater conductive inks
